According to the woke edict from a Nebraska principal, Olaf from Frozen is okay. Santa? Not
so much. IIDIISNEi
An uber-woke elementary school principal in Nebraska has been
suspended after she put the kibosh on Christmas.
Super -sensitive Jennifer Sinclair banned candy canes, because, well
... they're shaped like a J. And J, of course, stands for Jesus.
The touched teacher sent a memo to teachers at Manchester
Elementary School in Omaha last week with clear instructions about
the classroom decorations.
The tortured memo borders on the absurd: generic winter
decorations featuring snowflakes, polar bears, snowmen and
penguins were okay. So is Olaf from the Disney smash, Frozen.

Principal Jennifer Sinclair went woke for
Christmas by banning candy canes because,
well, the J stands for Jesus.
But Christmas? Nope. No way. Santa Claus, Christmas trees, Elf on
the Shelf, reindeer, any red and green items and candy canes were
also Grinched out.
"Historically, the shape [of candy canes] is a 'J' for Jesus," she wrote
in her Scrooge -channelling opus, according to KETV.
"The red is for the blood of Christ, and the white is a symbol of his
resurrection"
Who knew? Other coloured candy canes were also ditched, and forget
gifts of Christmas ornaments.
"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:" the gutsy killjoy mused.
"We are not to be doing any Christmas or holiday -specific themed
activities with students"

Candy cane decorations are a sweet reminder of a Christmas past as Evan Button uses his
snowblower to clear his driveway on Wednesday, January 4, 2017 in Owen Sound, Ont. Button
and area residents got a cold shock as winter stormed back with heavy snow and high winds
on Wednesday. James Masters/The Owen Sound Sun Times/Postmedia Network ..Dames

Sinclair added: "We have varied religious beliefs in our school, and it is
our job to be inclusive. Please reflect on what you've already copied,
prepped and posted."
And then comes the iron fist in the velvet glove.
"I'm hopeful we can avoid the discomfort of me directly questioning
something you've copied, posted and had your kids do.
"That makes me uncomfortable, and I know it doesn't feel
good. Signed, The (Unintentional) Grinch who stole Christmas (from
Manchester):"
But the airhead educator has run afoul of the Elkhorn Public Schools
District, who said the ban does not reflect board policy. She did not
consult the school board.
Now, Sinclair has been put on leave.
