We do not set out to offend or trash our own culture by offering good tidings in our countries traditions. All it takes is one complaint and an organization would rather add insult over the majority than risk legal repercussions supported by the lefts ACLU dictatorship of etiquette. Lately there have been employers that ban any American tradition even though there is no threat of employee retaliation, but potential loss of customers, vendors and capital. Although, their overtly public religious symbolisms are worn daily, but an American kid is forced to turn a T-shirt inside out at school, if it has anything Christian exposed. It is safer to white wash it from our heritage, to conform at the behest of a few. So much for democracy where majority rules, if the courts supersede the will of the people.
