Outrageous: School Principal tries to ban candy canes as J shape may remind children of Jesus




An elementary school Principal in the US has been placed on administrative after banning candy canes because she said the J shape stood for Jesus.

The Daily Mail UK reports that Jennifer Sinclair took her penchant for political correctness a little too far when she sent a memo to teachers at Manchester Elementary School in Omaha, Nebraska stating that only generic and explicitly secular decorations could be displayed.

Not only were Santa, elves, and Christmas Trees and of course any kind of Christian symbols banned but also the favourite holiday treat, candy canes, simply because it looks like a J the first letter in Jesus.

The ultra PC Principal has now been put on leave however, after it came to light came to light she did not consult school administrators on her stringent new progressive guidelines for Christmas decorations.
