You can celebrate LGBT Pride and wear a Black Lives Matter button throughout your day as a King County employee. But you better not show a nativity set or menorah on your digital workspace or your home office.

King County Human Resources warned employees not to decorate their workspaces with overtly Christmas or Hanukkah decorations. They fear decorations may offend employees.

Gloria Ngezaho, Workforce Equity Manager for the Department of Human Resources, authored a memo titled “Guidelines for Holiday Decorations for King County Employees” to outline expectations. It says the county “remains committed to honoring the diversity in its workforce and is fortunate to have employees from many diverse backgrounds.” ...

The county has employees so hostile to religious symbols (real or perceived), it focuses warnings primarily on virtual backgrounds. This presumably extends to your office home office if it’s shown on webcam.

“Some employees may not share your religion, practice any religion, or share your enthusiasm for holiday decorations. Displays of religious symbols may only be displayed in an employee’s personal workspace. Religious symbols should not be displayed in or as a background to an employee’s virtual workspace,” the memo explains.  ...

I'm sure Kwaaanzaaaaaa decor is fine, though. Not religious, or anything.

If they're so "fortunate" to have employees from many diverse backgrounds, then why are they so contumaciously suppressing the backgrounds of a select few of those employees?  Christians and Jews, specifically.

This is so stupid.  I work with a large number of folks in India, and they often wish me a happy holiday on occasions which they do not observe.

Excellent question.

The answer to which is: because "diversity" is a lie. The term "equity" is rapidly replacing diversity because it more closely aligns with the true intent of Leftist social engineering: to tear down established norms, faiths and institutions and substitute others, often those possessed of radically different values.
