Christmas Controversy: Dedham Library Refuses To Put Up Tree in WOKE drama

DEDHAM, Mass. — The absence of Christmas trees within the Dedham
public library Endicott Branch is causing quite a stir online, over whether or
not the holiday decorations can be considered offensive.


The discussion went viral when Manager of the Endicott Branch Library Lisa
Desmond made a post on Facebook, claiming that in conversations with
Library Director Amber Moroney, she learned that Christmas trees would not
be put up in the DPL because "people were made uncomfortable last year."
The post got hundreds of interactions from users based in and outside of the
Dedham community.

Desmond tells WBZ's Kim Tunnicliffe that the Board of Library Trustees are
holding a meeting to discuss the presence of Christmas trees on Tuesday,
December 13.

DEDHAM, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — The absence of Christmas trees within the Dedham Public Library Endicott Branch is causing quite a stir online, over whether or not the holiday decorations can be considered offensive.

The discussion went viral when Manager of the Endicott Branch Library Lisa Desmond made a post on Facebook, claiming that in conversations with Library Director Amber Moroney, she learned that Christmas trees would not be put up in the DPL because "people were made uncomfortable last year." The post got hundreds of interactions from users based in and outside of the Dedham community.

Desmond tells WBZ's Kim Tunnicliffe that the Board of Library Trustees are holding a meeting to discuss the presence of Christmas trees on Tuesday, December 13.

"It's about community, love, and unity. Not to exclude anybody. The decision
was made instead of maybe putting heads together— we can call it a
'seasonal tree,' we can call it whatever you want," Desmond said.

Despite her appeal, some Facebook users went after Desmond online saying
that it's "Christian privilege" to want a tree in the two library branches.
Desmond said on Facebook that she received longer messages that prompted
her to notify the police.

"I was actually put into a category with murderers— that was probably the
lowest point I've ever had," Desmond said.

imagine becoming uncomfortable by christmas trees :umm2:

I do wish that people would realise that Christmas has basically nothing to do with Christianity at this point and just enjoy the festive fun... I love a nice Christmas tree and a jolly family movie on a cold evening and I haven't believed in God or baby Jesus or other fairies/goblins etc since I was 7 or 8.

i don't know about anyone else, but in a quiet moment, i can always be found praying to the lord god in front of the christmas tree and jesus name is never far from my lips

Luckily no one on this site has ever gone off like that before leaving!!

Ha, yeah, sorry about that PM :joker:

they have for sure

cant recall who

DEDHAM, Mass

Big up the Dedham mass.

Personally I don't care either way if this Library wants to put up a Christmas Tree or not.

However, you have got to be a special kinda freak to be "offended" or "uncomfortable" or feeling "excluded" because there's a Christmas Tree in a Library.:joker:

First world problem at it's finest with these freaks.
