A Minnesota resident's Christmas light display was shamed for 'harmful impact' to the community. "The idea of twinkling, colorful lights are a reminder of divisions that continue to run through our society, a reminder of systemic biases against our neighbors who don't celebrate Christmas or who can't afford to put up lights of their own," the letter, shared by Crime Watch Minneapolis, reads. "We must do work of educating ourselves about the harmful impact an outward facing display like yours can have.

I think there is an appropriate legal reply to that that starts with GO and ends with YOURSELF.

You don't need Muslims for that, liberals will do it for them.

The author of that letter needs to educate themself about the negative impact writing letters like that can have. They say the community welcomes all people? Except those that hang christmas lights apparently.
