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 them!



Quote:
In the name of inclusivity, a Nebraska elementary school principal banned Santa Clause from the classroom. In fact, doing her best Ebenezer Scrooge impersonation, she went so far as to ban Christmas altogether.

In a directive to teachers, Manchester Elementary School Principal Jennifer Sinclair effectively censored all Christmas holiday symbols, according to Liberty Counsel.

“[W]e are not to be doing any Christmas or holiday-specific themed activities with students. Santa and Christmas items are not to be on activities or copies,” Sinclair instructed, saying because of varying religious beliefs, they must be “inclusive.”


Christmas trees were banned in the classroom, as was playing Christmas music and singing Christmas Carols. Showing Christmas movies was out and making Christmas ornaments as a gift was not allowed.

Even Elf on the Shelf didn’t make the cut, nor did Rudolph — yes, she nixed reindeer.

The colors red and green were not allowed, and candy canes were banned — Liberty Counsel explained, “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.”

Sinclair’s “acceptable” list included “snowmen, snow women, snow people” and even “snowflakes” — not the liberal variety.

Gingerbread people also made the cut, as did polar bears, penguins, and Yetis and Olaf, the snowman from the movie “Frozen.”

Oh, and hot chocolate was allowed, along with “scarves, boots, earmuffs, and hats” — it is Nebraska after all.

Liberty Counsel intervened, sending a letter to Elkhorn Public Schools warning them that the Christmas ban was unconstitutional.

I don’t know what it is with so-called "conservatives" constantly whining about government schools and their utter failure to abolish them, but I'll spell it out for them:

ABOLISH
GOVERNMENT
SCHOOLS


Homeschool. Private schools. Charity schools. Then you won't have these issues.

The End.

She was placed on administrative leave today.


KAKE.com | Wichita, Kansas News, Weather, Sports - Nebraska elementary school principal on leave for Christmas ban


Some items on that list are so off the wall, I wonder if she was writing a joke list and sent it out after drinking too much spiked eggnog. Banning red and green items

Between the Principal and Liberty Counsel, those poor kids are surely singing 'Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right '

The AFOT made it illegal to homeschool or send your kids to private school?

Wow! They have more power than I thought!

So once again Progressives strive to be INCLUSIVE by being EXCLUDING. To the Left Inclusive means Inclusive of only things in which they agree. Tolerance means tolerating anything in which they agree. All else is BANNED!!!
