 [NEON] Civil servants in the United Kingdom have banned the word "Christmas" from a proposed government campaign fearing it would offend minorities.British officials vetoed the use of "Christmas" from being used in a COVID testing drive which would be marketed at students.They argued the term risks offending minorities within the country."We have been advised by Cabinet Office that we should not use the word Christmas — as the Government campaign needs to be inclusive and some religions don’t celebrate Christmas," an email seen by The Mail on Sunday read."The other option was ’festive season,’ which keeps the emotional motivation." |
