Good God, citizens of Seattle: How far will we go down Sensitivity Road? It's leading to a place where all richness and texture is scrubbed from our public culture.Aren't poinsettias just plants that, unfortunately for them, flower in December?
Nope. Apparently some people gaze upon those pointy red leaves and see baby Jesus himself swaddled beneath the star of Bethlehem. And because of those people, you won't see the species Euphorbia pulcherrima in the lobby of the federal courthouse again.
Whatever the poinsettia was a symbol of before, it's now one of something else: political correctness truly run amok.
Clearly poinsettias at some point accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior and became Christian. Ugh.
