Missouri State has endorsed religious intolerance by demanding the removal of a Christmas tree that was in the atrium of Strong Hall on campus. According to the Springfield News-Leader, the tree was taken down by Lorene Stone, the dean of the College of Humanities and Public Affairs after someone claiming to be Jewish complained to the “President’s Diversity Commission” and the co-chair that the tree was “showing insensitivity to other religions.” The tree did not contain any Christian symbols like crosses or a manger with Jesus in it but just ribbons, bows and fake icicles.
