An elementary school principal in Nebraska was placed on leave after telling teachers to avoid decorating their classrooms with Christmas-themed ornamentations so as not to offend those who don’t celebrate the holiday.

[ConservativeStatement]

"Decorations that included Santa, Christmas trees, reindeer, green and red colored items and even candy canes, however, were not acceptable for the elementary school."

The South Park episode from past years proved correct.

Principal is an antisemite, it stands for Jews.

Happy holidays.

Next they'll bring in Philip Glass to compose the music for the school's Holiday Play.

Wow! Their shape is so you can hang them on a tree. But anyway. So now the letter J will be out lawed?

[ConservativeStatement]

J will become the Pluto of letters.

Too stupid even for an Onion or Babylon Bee article. What wonders hath modern educrats wrought? In a different article she is quoted as saying that this is what they do where she came from. My suggestion is to dump her in a barrel, feeding tube through the bung hole and ship her BACK to her source by slowest freight C.O.D.!

>>J will become the Pluto of letters.<<

Thank God, in Massachusetts he would be given an award.

The principal should be given 20 lashes with a candy cane.

The letter, “J”, has a beginning, and an end. The stripe on a candy cane (or barber pole) is a continuous swirl around a cylindrical shape.

I guess if an idiot dem, (like AOC, or this “principal”) holds it stationary, it might remotely resemble a “J”.

But, I don’t think the inventor of candy canes (or “barber poles”) did either with “Jesus” in mind...it’s just decoration...if not, that means barbers can cut hair only at Christmas time. /s

In another thread, this "explanation" was offered by the principal -

"... she “come[s] from a place that Christmas and the like are not allowed in schools."

I've searched high and low but can't find where this place is. I'm guessing the Soviet Union.

The J identifies as a C so STFU.
My other thought is some candy canes are not shaped like shepherd's crooks but like straight walking sticks ... I'm holding up five fight now and the one in the middle is for this principal ;)

I recall another Freeper’s comment on another thread about this story and that they said they’d bet that this young lady probably would want her students to recognize or even celebrate Ramadan and Kwanzaa.

And government schools are allowing Muslims to have prayer rooms. Christians don’t care that their children’s faith is persecuted at school, while they pay taxes to keep the schools open. Terrible.

[Does so]

I hang my "J candy canes" upside-down to protest Christianity. :-/

...says ‘J shape’ stands for Jesus

Yeah, I think I read that part in the King James Version... :)

When I went back for my MBA, the school also pumped out a lot of Edu majors. Talking to them, after years in STEM departments, you quickly realize that teachers-to-be are the absolute bottom of the academic barrel.

By now, they have been promoted to admin positions, so these kind of stories are actually only what I would expect.
