Witchita mayor rejects p.c. hyper-secularist holiday clap-trap

In rejecting the grossly unfair and prejudiced practice of secularizing Christmas and only Christmas, Witchita's mayor has found himself the target of criticism:
Calling himself "not a politically correct person," Wichita Mayor Carlos Mayans said Tuesday that next year's Winterfest celebration will include the lighting of a Christmas tree.

"God is God, and a Christmas tree is a Christmas tree," he said.

Organizers had called it a "community tree," which sparked a debate over the role of government in religious holiday celebrations.

"Community tree." *rolls eyes* And December 24th and 25th probably will be renamed "Community Day Eve" and "Community Day" someday soon.

So, why is it that religious celebrations like Hanukkah and Ramadan are not forced to be secularized like Christmas is by the ACLU, Barry Lynn and AU, the Freedom From Religion Foundation, Michael Newdow, and a host of other hyper-secularist groups and individuals?
