protect
There was a wonderful example in the UK a few years back when it was reported that a council had banned
christmas lights for fear of "offending those of other faiths".
A national tabloid ran a 2 page story speaking with the local leaders of those "other faiths" all of which were surprised and upset that such an action was taken in their name without any form of consultation. And all expressed their confusion at how the displays would have offended them in the first place.
