‘Too White and Male’ — Woke Museum Issues Guide to ‘Decolonising’ Father Christmas

Article here. Excerpt:

'The Sun reports Brighton and Hove Museums in the UK published a blog post on its website suggesting Santa should work alongside his elves on the presents production line to show they are equals.

Mrs Christmas should also emerge from the shadows and take her place at his side at a time when Christmas is being reassessed in many parts of the world as a symbol of everything it was never designed to be part of.

The group, granted £900,000 (U.S.$ 1,207,915) of taxpayer cash in October, says Santa’s “naughty and nice” list teaches children the “coloniser has the power to judge all people” and the time has come to right the wrongs of centuries of disinformation and hurtful attitudes.

The post was written by the museum’s Joint Head of Culture Change, Simone LaCorbinière and defies historical records which show Father Christmas first appeared in English folklore as a spirit of winter and universal good cheer in the 15th century.'
