if they sneeze is an act of “Islamoisic microaggression."

Massachusetts college librarians state that wishing someone a “Merry Christmas” or saying “God bless you” if they sneeze is an act of “Islamomisic microaggression”.

Librarians at Simmons College in Boston have banded together to write what they have titled The Anti-Oppression Library Guide. While controversial, the guide is intended as a resource to promote equality and limit religious oppression.

While the guide is not an official policy of Simmons College, some of its beliefs have already made their way to reports in mainstream media outlets like Fox News.

Librarians at the college argue that “Islamomisic Microaggressions are commonplace verbal or behavioral indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, which communicates hostile, derogatory, or negative slights in relation to the beliefs and religious practices of Muslims.” […]

An example of an “Islamomisic Microaggression” is an utterance of widespread phrases like “Merry Christmas,” “Happy Easter,” and “God bless you.”

That's higher education today. LOL
