![]() So, the 4th of July is ethnically insensitive, is it? I wonder if Sonntag still accepts federal funding from the evil United States whose birthday she condemns. "Time has come to recognize that religious discrimination, as well as ethnic insensitivity to certain holidays, is forbidden," Patricia Sonntag, director of the Office of Services to Students with Disabilities, stated in the directive she e-mailed to members of her staff on Dec. 9. Jah! Verboten!
The memo specifically names Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween, Valentine's Day, the 4th of July, St. Patrick's Day and Easter as the most offensive holidays, but Sonntag adds that they are "off the top of the list," implying that there may be others. I would bet that Bastille Day, Lenin's birthday (aka Earth Day), and May Day are still acceptable though.
It doesn't occur to her that her orders are based on extremist political ideology and that she is using her publicly mandated authority to enforce conformity to those ideological positions. Sonntag noted that she is "the worst offender and celebrant," and apologized "if this offends anyone, but it is time to start the new year differently." Sonntag, whose name means "Sunday," is a born offender. A Nov. 28 profile of Sonntag in the university's faculty and staff newsletter stated that she and her office "Have been the cornerstone of equality and progress here on campus." If you're a National Socialist, that is. Wait, even Nazis didn't ban Christmas decorations, though they may have shared her aversion to the 4th of July.
"I don't even know the cat that drug her in." He stated that the university "has no guidelines prohibiting holiday decorations," aside from the responsibility of supervisors, "to ensure that employees do not spend an unreasonable amount of work time decorating." Translation: The bitch is finished here. Whitlatch echoed Sonntag's sentiments that Sacramento State "is a public entity ... and employees do not endorse specific religious beliefs while on the job." Except Islam and Gaia worship, of course. Catholic League president Bill Donohue called the policy a violation of free speech rights. "It never occurs to these secular supremacists that it is their aversion to anything religious - or patriotic - that accounts for their desire to muzzle free speech." A receptionist in Sonntag's office told Cybercast News Service that Sonntage was on vacation. Off to Taos to sacrifice a virgin with some friends at the annual Solstice get-together.
"I didn't know that cat either." | ||||

#6 ![]() "Patricia Sonntag, Fascist Sow" adjusted from a Sacramento State publication... Time has come to recognize that religious discrimination, as well as ethnic insensitivity to certain holidays, is forbidden. Sung to "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" Patty the red nosed leftist, Had a very ugly nose, And when she smelled a Christian, Somehow it began to glow... All of the other teachers, Said now you can help us out, Let's ban everything Christmas, 'Cause celebrating just got to go. Then 05's holidays came round, A seance they did hold, Adolf said, Only Odin does count". Forbidden is everyone else's show. Then how the faculty loved her, As they shouted out with glee! Patty the red nose leftist, You'll wipe out all normalcy! |

#4 I assume this means that classes will be conducted each and every one of those days, and her office will be open, as usual, with her in it.... |

#2 He stated that the university "has no guidelines prohibiting holiday decorations," hmmm.. That's a bit ambiguous. Does he mean that she's in the clear because they have no guidelines to prevent her from prohibiting holiday decorations? just asking. |
