The diversity, tolerance, inclusivity, and multiculturalism crowd sure isn’t very tolerant or inclusive when it comes to certain things
(KETV) The principal of Manchester Elementary in Elkhorn is on administrative leave after sending a directive to staff to ban certain religious Christmas decorations in the classrooms.
District spokesperson Kara Perchal said Jennifer Sinclair is a new principal and did not consult with administrators about school policy concerning the handling of religious holiday themes.
The organization, Liberty Counsel got wind of the principal’s memo and sent a demand letter to the superintendent of Elkhorn Public Schools asking the district to lift the Christmas ban.
Here’s what he banned
“Santas or Christmas items (clipart) 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†(emphasis added)
And, a list of things acceptable
The principal’s “acceptable†list included: “gifts to students;†“Snowmen, snow women, snow people†and “snowflakes;†“Gingerbread people;†“Holidays Around the World;†“Sledding;†“Hot chocolate;†“Polar Bears;†“Penguins;†“Scarves, boots, earmuffs, and hats;†“Yetis;†and “Olaf†(the snowman from the movie Frozen.
But, isn’t Christmas celebrated around the world? Oh, right, right, every other holiday not associate with Jesus and Christianity.
Sledding at Christmas ‘discriminates’ against people in the southern hemisphere.
Just remember, parents of Elkhorn schools: when they bring her back, she will still be a joyless, humorless, shrewish, feminazi. Running a school full of your children.
