The owners of a senior living apartment complex in LA is forcing them to remove their Christmas tree because “It’s a religious symbol.” Menorahs are also being banned. The residents are angry. Can you blame them?
On Tuesday, Tarzana-based JB Partners Group Inc. sent a memo to staff at The Willows senior apartment building demanding they take down Christmas trees and menorahs in communal areas.
The company has owned The Willows for four years, but this is the first time it’s given such a directive to staff.
On Wednesday, two dozen residents in the 75-resident complex gathered in the lobby to place a neon green sign that read: “Please Save Our Tree.”
“We’re all angry. We want that tree,” said Fern Scheel, who has lived at the complex for nearly two years. “Where’s our freedom? This is ridiculous.”
The Willows staff and JB Property supervisor Wethanie Law declined to comment.
JB Partners Group owns apartments in California, Oklahoma and Colorado.
Read the whole thing. A Jewish resident is also upset about losing the tree, because she said they all enjoyed it. Well, now they can all be miserable.
Hello.. Christmas is a RELIGIOUS Holiday, which includes Christmas trees, not a liberal bashing ceremony against Christians.
I would sue this management complex company for 10 Million dollars, and even criminal misconduct, for violating these seniors 1st Amendment religious freedom rights, and causing severe traumatic emotional distress, period.

What is the matter with liberals? Why are they so filled with anger and intolerance and just itching for a fight everywhere they turn? People of all faiths enjoy lighted trees (which is actually secular in origins, but who cares). Why can’t they practice this “tolerance” they love to harp about?? They are such angry, unhappy, bitter people these libtards….

Agreed. And even if they get every shred of religious reference (well, Islam excepted) out of the public sphere, they are still going to be miserable! They cannot recognize that the root of their unhappiness is within themselves. Sad, really.
