If jolly old Saint Nick were a real person who had a real naughty and nice list, Nebraska school principal Jennifer Sinclair would most definitely be getting nothing but coal in her stocking this year.
Sinclair has went on an anti-Christmas rampage, banning candy canes because their J shape represents Jesus, the reason for the season. However, that was just the beginning.
What kinds of items, you ask? Liberty Counsel provided a memo from principal Jennifer Sinclair that spelled out in detail all the verboten paraphernalia at Manchester Elementary School in Omaha:
Santas or Christmas items (clip art) on worksheets Christmas trees in classrooms
Elf on the Shelf thats Christmas-related
Singing Christmas carols
Playing Christmas music
Sending a Scholastic book that is a Christmas book thats Christmas-related
Making a Christmas ornament as a gift This assumes that the family has a Christmas tree which assumes they celebrate Christmas. I challenge the thought of, Well they can just hang it somewhere else.
Candy Cane thats Christmas-related. Historically, the shape is a J for Jesus. The red is for the blood of Christ, and the white is a symbol of his resurrection. This would also include different colored candy canes.
Red/Green items traditional Christmas colors Reindeer
Christmas videos/movies and/or characters from Christmas movies
Sinclair whos in her first year as Manchesters principal noted in the memo that she come[s] from a place that Christmas and the like are not allowed in schools and that as a public school Manchester Elementary will be seek to be inclusive and culturally sensitive to all of our students.
I have unknowingly awoken a sleeping giant with many of you, she added. I apologize for the stress that Christmas/holiday/ Grinch/Santa/tree emails and conversations have caused you.
So what exactly is Sinclair allowing at the school? Prepare yourself. This is going to make your blood boil a bit:
Gifts to students
Students making a gift for a loved one
Snowmen, snow women, snow people, snowflakes Gingerbread people
Holidays Around the World purposeful presentation of information to teach about different cultures
Sledding
Hot chocolate
Polar Bears
Penguins
Scarves, boots, earmuffs, and hats
Yetis
Olaf Frozen
No Santa. No Jesus. But yetis? Absolutely!
This woman might just be certifiably insane. Just throwing that out there before we continue down this long, painful journey into the rabbit hole of progressive thinking.
Liberty Counsel sent a demand letter to the superintendent of Elkhorn Public Schools about the Christmas ban, urging it to immediately overrule and specifically disavow the sweeping directive banning Christmas holiday items, and require Principal Sinclair to undertake review of District policy and the law.
Shockingly, the district responded to Liberty Counsel, saying they investigated the matter themselves and found Sinclairs policies to be in violation of Board Policy, information Manchester staffers that certain Christmas symbols were indeed permissible.
Sinclair is fairly young to be a principal and this indicates quite clearly that she is a product of an education system that has brainwashed her into being a good little statist robot.
They have convinced her that separation of church and state means no religious influence on government policy or on government property. Thats not true. It means no official church denomination for the United States. Nothing more.
This is why much of the battle were fighting for the culture needs to be done on college campuses, public schools, and in the entertainment industry. This is where the propaganda is being spread and how the ideas are getting planted in young folks head.
Heres to hoping more victories for religious liberty down the pike.
This is only going to get worse unless and until Tar & Feathers make a comeback.
Seems so. Mobs with torches and pitchforks, too. And once it starts and patriots finally toss away their hesitancies en masse, woot woot!
She even tossed in the famous Yamamoto sleeping giant quote. But she omitted “and fill him with a terrible resolve”.
as long as you espouse islam?
Hey anti Christian piece of crap, up yours.
"J" also stands for jackass......Maybe THAT'S why she took offense since it hit home..........
Fire her for illiteracy. There was no letter J until the 16th century.
Look out the window! Are those P-38’s?
Meanwhile, queers are out of their closets and destroying American morals
These type of teachers were spewing Islamic cultural understanding,”no place for hate” and BS “coexist” right after 9/11 as the rubble was still smoldering.
The primary area of head shrinking is in the Amazon rainforest -- South America.
I don’t think government facilities are the right place to observe anyone’s religious holidays. These should be celebrated in the home, the neighborhood, and the religious congregation. It is understandable that, when society was far more homogeneous, people fell in the habit of considering the public school an extension of the home and private associations, but this has not been the case for decades.
And the South Pacific islands.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
well, if she really wanted to be inclusive she wouldn’t allow any snowmen or other cartoonish ‘idols’ that would be offensive to latter day saints, muslims and hindus. But since she did allow idols, it’s obvious she’s one of the braindead masses battered over her 12 years of commie ‘education’ to hate her own culture.
Another batshit crazy and wide-eyed liberal maniac.
I don’t know what it is with the crazed leftists and that insane wide-eyed look of theirs but it is handy for rapidly identifying these vermin.
Seems like that too is a misreading. In the article it says as long as you have them side by side with secular songs. I would think an intentional misread but you can judge for yourself!
Check her home for Obama plates.
Haha just kidding. Sorta.
The story of how U.S. intelligence tracked down Yamamoto’s flight route is still fascinating. Most accounts say his death was a tremendous blow to Japanese morale.
Yamamoto wasn’t a bad sort; he probably would not have been charged with war crimes, and he warned the warlords not to attack America. But, c’est la guerre.
Well, he wanted to boost morale after Guadalcanal.
At least, according to Wiki for whatever that’s worth...
Peaceful coexistence with these people is not possible. We need to stop pretending that it is.

Exactly!
