City officials in Wisconsin have reportedly instructed their employees to not decorate public spaces with things that reflect Christmas, rather suggesting other 'festive' items.
A purported email from a deputy city administrator in Wisconsin sent to employees discourages 'religious decorations' in public buildings over the holidays. The email, obtained by media outlet Wisconsin Right Now, appears to be from Wauwatosa Deputy City Administrator Melissa Cantarero Weiss. It begins by asking city employees to create a 'welcoming and inclusive environment for all residents and visitors to our buildings, as well as all our co-workers.
With the reminder, the email asks departments to refrain from using 'religious decorations' or 'those solely associated with Christmas ' when decorating public spaces within city buildings. Some neutral, inclusive decorations suggested include snowflakes, snow people, festive lighting, greenery and incorporation of colors like blue, green and purple. Weiss' email states her boss, City Administrator Jim Archambo, is on board with the request.
