Cornell University has advised students not to use religious symbols while celebrating the winter holiday. Some of the unacceptable symbols are predictable — nativity scenes, angels, menorahs, crosses.

But mistletoe? (Which religion, Druidic?) Also, stars should not be placed atop trees (perhaps a star is okay with a crescent moon?). Santa, holly, and wreaths may be okay, but only if the students survey others in the residential unit to be sure it won’t offend them. Thanks to the Daily Caller and Education News for this bulletin.
