Staff members at the University of Brighton in the United Kingdom have been instructed not to say the word “Christmas,” but instead to call it something else to promote religious “inclusion.”
The Christian Institute reported that officials there have given the orders that the Christmas break now be known as the “winter closure period.”
The university’s guidance also has a long list – nine pages – of demands regarding terminology for “sexual orientation, sex, gender and gender identity,” the report explained.
According to the Institute, the Inclusive Language Guidance states:
“Many religions have narratives, symbols, traditions, and sacred histories that are intended to give meaning to life or to explain the origin of life or the universe.”
Saying “Christmas,” then, highlights how “inappropriate language and discrimination can be targeted at people with any faith or no faith.”

Simon Calvert, a spokesman for the Institute, said, “These kinds of barmy suggestions come up nearly every Christmas. Thankfully, the vast majority of people are far too sensible to pay any attention to them.”
He said the staff and students at the school “are perfectly free to wish one another a Merry Christmas if they want to.”
The Daily Mail reported the school also wants to disallow asking someone for their “Christian name.”
Instead, use “What is your given name?” the school says.
“Staff should be ’empowered’ to use ‘inclusive language confidently and effectively, in order to ensure that both students and staff alike feel safe, valued and respected,”‘ the document requires, according to the report.
Andrew Allison, of the Freedom Association, called the school’s agenda “Orwellian and ridiculous.”
“Staff and students ought to ignore it and have a good Christmas,” he said.
A school official said in a statement and words are not “banned,” and the “guidance” is just that, “guidance.”
EDITOR’S NOTE: The “Climate Change Cult.” The “Anti-Racism Cult.” The “Cult of Wokeness.” The “LGBTQ Cult” and its predatory offspring targeting America’s children, the “Transgender Cult.” The “Cult of Abortion.” The “COVID Cult.” The “Cult of Globalism.” “TikTok Cults.” Every month the list grows.
To right-thinking Americans attempting to make sense of a nation seemingly gone mad, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the irrational, deranged – and often demonic – leftwing political and cultural movements currently capturing the minds of millions of Americans are nothing short of full-fledged cults.
Although the high priesthood of all these leftwing religious cults – i.e., university professors, academics and other Marxist ideologues and activists – may be true believers, the people actually wielding REAL POWER do not believe any of it. To them, these leftwing cults conveniently serve to disguise and distract “the rabble” from what the leader class is REALLY up to, which is the pursuit of ever more power, wealth and glory for themselves, and a total transformation of America and the world.
All of this and much more is explored in a powerful, insightful and absolutely unique way in the latest issue of WND’s acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “HOLY WAR: Defeating the growing cult of leftism and its total war on Christianity.”
