Or are we still going to conceptualize a vast left wing conspiracy to take Santa out of Christmas?
Again the OP had nothing to do with your comment, but since you brought it up even in such a flippant manner in the process of trying to be humorous ..

Board of Education of Westside Community Schools v. Mergens By and Through Mergens No. 88-1597 Argued Jan. 9, 1990 Decided June 4, 1990 496 U.S. 226 Syllabus
Westside High School, a public secondary school that receives federal financial assistance, permits its students to join, on a voluntary basis, a number of recognized groups and clubs, all of which meet after school hours on school premises. Citing the Establishment Clause and a School Board policy requiring clubs to have faculty sponsorship, petitioner school officials denied the request of respondent Mergens for permission to form a Christian club that would have the same privileges and meet on the same terms and conditions as other Westside student groups, except that it would have no faculty sponsor. After the Board voted to uphold the denial, respondents, current and former Westside students, brought suit seeking declaratory and injunctive relief. They alleged, inter alia, that the refusal to permit the proposed club to meet at Westside violated the Equal Access Act, which prohibits public secondary schools that receive federal assistance and that maintain a "limited open forum" from denying "equal access" to students who wish to meet within the forum on the basis of the "religious, political, philosophical, or other content" of the speech at such meetings. In reversing the District Court's entry of judgment for petitioners, the Court of Appeals held that the Act applied to forbid discrimination against respondents' proposed club on the basis of its religious content, and that the Act did not violate the Establishment Clause.
But it is about PC stupidity..
Don't care if Starbucks has little red cups with no messages
that is their business.. but to deny the holiday is what it is and actively remove the word Christmas.. yeah that is nothing but PC insanity.. here in NH
That's the point: the word "Christmas" is verboten (while sheeple tell you to rejoice that Seasons Greetings and Happy Holidays are "perfectly acceptable)."
Memo: We will decide what's "acceptable."
BTW, there was more insanity in KY, where A Charlie Brown Christmas school presentation was stripped of its biblical references (uh...the point of the dang thing), and Silent Night was replaced by Kumbaya (or something). But..the parents in the audience put the kibosh on that and, in unison, read the "offending" passages when the time came.
Meanwhile, the school superintendent said Mwa mwa mwa mwa mwaaa...
I can because the answer isn't Trump, just common sense
