Another education bureaucracy abuse of power was demonstrated at the Manchester Elementary School in Omaha, Nebraska where principal Jennifer Sinclair announced a ban on candy canes. According to her, the letter j shape of the candy cane is an insidious attempt to inject religion into the school environment. Everyone knows that the j stands for Jesus. We simply cannot permit such an egregious insult to all the non-Christian students at our school.
Candy canes arent the only items on the Principals forbidden list. Other banned items and activities include: Santas, elves, Christmas music, Christmas books, making an ornament to hang on a Christmas tree as a gift, any items combining the colors red and green, Christmas videos/movies and/or characters from Christmas movies.
The only way to be inclusive and culturally sensitive toward non-Christians is to exclude any words, items, activities, or attitudes that are explicitly or implicitly Christian, Sinclair asserted. I know that many students and parents consider me a Grinch for spoiling their holiday, but someone had to step forward if we are to shake off the delusions that have been the opiate of the masses and a barrier to the realization of Marxs vision of a classless utopia under a secular socialist government.
In other Christmas news, Facebook has censored a picture of Santa kneeling next to baby Jesus manger because it shows violent or graphic content. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg explained it is well known that Mary was impregnated without her consent. That she was not given the option of abortion did violence to her rights as a woman. The intrusion of Santa Claus in the picture wrongfully conveys a message implying that baby Jesus was a gift to the world. People need to be protected against accidentally receiving this message.

But I’ll bet they’re all over EID for the muzzies.
Update: principal suspended by school district
“According to her, the letter j shape of the candy cane is an insidious attempt to inject religion into the school environment. Everyone knows that the j stands for Jesus.”
The principal has a PhD and doesn’t know the candy cane represents a shepherd’s hook.
Liberal dolt, but I repeat myself.
The world has gotten so ridiculous its difficult if not impossible to separate satire from reality.
Maybe she’ll get a re-education on American culture. Maybe.

I made a joke about this at dinner the other night and was surprised, about half the people never even thought the candy cane J shape stood for Jesus, and the other half told them it doesn’t, it is a shepherd’s hook nothing to do with the letter J.
The left have turned into the people they once mocked. They banned color schemes, and shapes, and fictional characters. Now they want to ban they think may be offensive - from jokes to holiday songs open to all kinds of interpretation to fictional cartoons (if the prince didn’t kiss the princess she would be dead, but to them letting a woman die is better than kissing her dead corpse without consent to bring her back to life). They used to lament the FBI and CIA aggressive tactics, now they defend it.
My how the tables have turned. Baby it’s cold outside in the world of political correctness.
This is actually quite believable. Ocasio-Cortez must be difficult to satirize, John, as her statements are so hilariously vacuous that she typically satirizes herself.
Thanks muchly for another fine column.
