Christmas at SeaTac Airport
You all, no doubt, heard about the flap at SeaTac Airport this week when a rabbi merely suggested that a menorah also be placed in the airport along w/ the Krissmiss trees. In a knee-jerk reaction to the perceived threat of a possible lawsuit, the Port of Seattle removed ALL the trees. And then the snowball effect started of hate mail to Jewish centers and synagogues and letters to the newspapers, and apparently it made national and international news. The Port has since returned the trees to the airport.

I live in a small town in Michigan, and we typically have alot of different symbols to celebrate with. I thought it was so crazy what a drastic step they took b/c of one complaint.
