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 — that’s Christmas-related
Singing Christmas carols
Playing Christmas music
Sending a Scholastic book that is a Christmas book — that’s 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 — that’s 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 — who’s in her first year as Manchester’s 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 Sinclair’s 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. That’s not true. It means no official church denomination for the United States. Nothing more.
This is why much of the battle we’re 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.
Here’s to hoping more victories for religious liberty down the pike.
Ban snow because it’s white therefor racist.
I bet crescent shaped candy canes would be welcome
Happy Pilled?
Don't they use the heads of infidels? Maybe they should get together with that tribe in deep dark Africa that shrinks heads to make it more user friendly.

Guess she thought the Year of the Raging Liberal had come.
Hope she enjoys the avalanche coming her way. She has no one to blame but herself.
The memo she sent out after being called on this.... was only at Manchester Elementary School.
The memo stated Principal Jennifer Sinclair came from a place where Christmas was not allowed in schools, which is why she laid out what could and could not be allowed in classrooms. She stated she wanted to be inclusive and culturally sensitive to all students.
The email said, in part,
“Last week, in an attempt to provide clarity, I mistakenly sent out an internal staff memo detailing what can and cannot be done in a public school surrounding the holiday season.”
It continues,..... “I wanted to reach out and make sure our families understand what occurred, and what has been done to correct the issue. I understand that the information I initially provide was incorrect and I sincerely apologize for any confusion of concern this has caused and the negative attention this issue brings to the District and Manchester.”
The principal hates snownonbinarypersons.
Godless, Devil Worshipin, Satanic Inspired ....Kommunist...
Dunno. Just bizarre if she thought this would end well.
As usual she’ll apologize and it’ll be history. I tell ya if my kid was in her school I’d be pulling them out real fast. If she was stupid enough to do this stunt what else is she doing? She needs to be replaced asap.
Total aside....I’ve never seen those before are they to outgas methane, swamp gas, or something?
I knew the principal was going to be a woman - well, sort of anyway.
The Principal wants to apologize “for any confusion of concern”. What does this mean? How about simply apologizing to all those who celebrate Christmas? And it sounds like it was an internal memo that got out. Shall I guess that if it hadn’t gotten out, there would have been no actual Christmas related decorations, clip art, etc?
I’m sure she’d be fine with anything that represents satanism
Typical LIB idiot “educator” abusing children. What a jerk.
That's because those who hired her are equally insane.
How do the kids learn to read or write at that school, since they obviously removed the letter t?
OK, fair is fair. The school board needs to ban any/all school closing be it for “Christmas holidays or others. Make it mandatory that ALL teachers INCLUDING said principle, be in attendance and actually working (meaning teaching) instead of taking time off when others celebrate various holidays. NO EXCEPTIONS! (Sorry Kids, but time to draw the line on people like your soon to be “ex-principle”.)
[Idiocracy was a documentary.]
Yes, it was. I want you to know that Mike Judge called out President Trump as “President Camacho”.
If this stunning hypocrisy and outright lie doesn’t enrage you enough, Mike Judge also said President Trump was proof of the “Dunning-Kruger Effect”.
Why the blatant hypocrisy in light of Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama?
Because Mike Judge is obviously a raging liberal.
