I THOUGHT THIS WAS A SATIRE AT 1ST: "Federal Ban on Christmas Trees and Music Sparks Controversy in Virginia "

But its real:
"According to the email, "Trees (regardless of the
types of ornaments used) have been deemed to
promote the Christian religion and will not be
permitted in any public areas this year."
It continued, "Public areas may only be decorated in
a manner that is celebratory of the winter season,"
and "displays must not promote any religion."..."
