The European Commission has issued a diary to schools right across the EU that lists Muslim and Jewish festivals, and those of just about every other religion: except Christianity. No Christian festival gets a mention. The French have protested, and a Commission spokesman calls it a ‘blunder’. Is it credible to claim this was an accident?
“A commission spokesman described the diary as a “blunder” and said that in the interests of political correctness there would no references to any religious festivals in future editions.
“We’re sorry about it, and we’ll correct that in next edition. Religious holidays may not be mentioned at all to avoid any controversy,” he said.”
What?
I honestly think they have gone completely mad!
Being charitable, one would have thought they knew by default the dates of the Christian festivals and assumed everyone else did too, but I doubt it.
