I received this press release yesterday. Incidentally (or maybe not), Drew Edmondson is the guy who is trying to lock up Paul Jacob for exercising his first amendment rights.

Southwestern Oklahoma State University Bans The Word “Christmas”

Weatherford, OK – Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSU), has issued a disturbing policy which requires all employees to refrain from using the word “Christmas” in oral or written form. This directive was given by the university upon legal advice of the Oklahoma Attorney General, W.A. Drew Edmondson. Liberty Counsel sent a demand letter to SWOSU following a complaint from a university affiliate.

I’m pretty agnostic, but even the most ardent atheist should be a little worried when the government starts banning words, right? Can this really count as a victory in the “culture wars?”
