A St. Anthony, Minnesota resident says he was sent a letter condemning the Christmas decorations on his house as “divisive” and “harmful” to people with different beliefs.
“The idea of twinkling, colorful lights are a reminder of divisions that continue to run through our society, a reminder of systemic biases against our neighbors who don’t celebrate Christmas or who can’t afford to put up lights of their own,” reads the letter, shared by Crime Watch Minneapolis.
“We must do work of educating ourselves about the harmful impact an outward facing display like yours can have. I challenge you to respect the dignity of all people, while striving to learn from differences, ideas, and opinions of our neighbors.”
“We must come together collectively and challenge these institutional inequities. St. Anthony is a community welcoming of all people and we must demand better for ourselves,” the letter concludes.
It only took a few years for mainstream reporters to go from being biased tooutright activists. Hang around LaCorte News to get some news without the spin.
The letter drew some criticism on Twitter.
“Saw this coming a long time ago. “If I can’t have it nobody can” or “ if they have it we all deserve it” that’s not life,” wrote former Baltimore Ravens quarterback Derek Anderson.
Another user pointed out that the person who wrote the letter ironically is “doing exactly what they accuse the homeowner of doing- not being accepting of others. I would redouble my lights,” the user wrote.
“Add more lights please and make a sign that you’re doing this for the people who can’t afford the lights and those who do celebrate Christmas,” yet another user wrote.
