Rantz: King County erased Christmas, Easter and Hanukkah from woke, taxpayer-funded calendar

The King County Office of Equity and Social Justice (OESJ) spent taxpayer dollars on a calendar that erases the names Christmas, Easter, and Hanukkah. Actually, it erases most holidays, replacing them with heritage celebration months to better reflect the office’s commitment to diversity so long as it doesn’t represent Christians or Jews.
Their reason? They cited themes of equity around traditional holidays. It’s a giant virtue signal.
Despite ample time, and a protracted back and forth over email, the county won’t even offer basic details about the decision. They merely admit this isn’t the first time they omitted holidays in a calendar. But behind the scenes, the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH has learned they may make changes moving forward, now that concerns have been raised.
