I also do not see the outright insult in the decoration.
The insult comes with the dismissal of the request for a chanukia alongside the decoration.
Again, the lawsuit thing is extreme

I certainly don't see this "dominance" stuff. It's not like someone is cramming anything down my throat or saying "you have to believe in Jesus to catch your flight to Houston". It's just a tree in a hallway.

Yet now there are arguments about decorations, when to play the music, clercks saying "merry Christmas" vs "happy Holidays"......I don't recall any of this when I was young.
