The Catholic League, a group that is famously active in the annual holiday culture wars, has released a list of early offenders in what League president Bill Donohue calls efforts “to censor Christmas.” Among those he lists are:
— The Los Angeles City Council, which renamed the annual “Hollywood Christmas Parade” the “Hollywood Santa Parade”
— Chattanooga, Tenn., which banned a nativity scene from its public December festivities.

— Briarcliff Manor, New York, which elected to ban all religious symbols after it was ordered to erect a creche next to a menorah.
— Fort Collins, Colorado, which allows red and green lights to be displayed on City Hall, but allows only “secular symbols” inside the building.
Said Donohue, “The multicultural monsters are rearing their ugly heads once again, showing what they really mean by tolerance for diversity.”
