[Dunia] School principal bans Christmas candy canes because “shape is a ‘J’ for Jesus”

OMAHA, Nebraska, December 7, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – An elementary school principal has been put on leave after banning candy canes, which she said are a Christian symbol.

According to Liberty Counsel, Jennifer Sinclair, the principal of Omaha-area Manchester Elementary School, wrote a memo this November to teachers banning all decorations and school assignments that make any reference to Christmas, including the colors red and green.

“Please remember that we are not to be doing any Christmas or holiday-specific themed activities with students,” she instructed. “Santa and Christmas items are not to be on activities or copies. We have varied religious beliefs in our school, and it is our job to be inclusive.”

Sinclair was so thorough in her inclusivity that she banned candy canes on the grounds that their shape is a “‘J’ for Jesus.”  

"Historically, the shape is a ‘J’ for Jesus,” she claimed. “The red is for the blood of Christ, and the white is a symbol of his resurrection.”

The principal also rejected differently colored candy canes.

Snopes, a liberal blog that looks into urban legends, says that this tale of the candy’s origins is untrue. There are different theories as to why the traditional candy cane, alone of the striped stick candy once popular with children year-round, has a hook shape. Snopes cites the legend of a German choirmaster who, wanting to quiet children during long church services at Cologne cathedral, decided to hand out candy. To forestall pious parental opposition, he had the candymaker bend candy sticks into the shape of shepherd’s crooks.  

According to a candy history blog, the first documented use of candy canes to celebrate Christmas was in 1847. They were, however, entirely white. Striped canes were not available until the end of the 19th century.  

Liberty Counsel argues that the ban violates the U.S. Constitution by showing hostility toward Christianity. In her memo, Sinclair confessed to feeling discomfort at have to “get this specific” in her attempts to eradicate anything that suggests the Christian holiday.

“I feel uncomfortable that I have to get this specific, but for everyone's comfort, I will,” she wrote.

Dalam erti kata lain, tempat kelahiran red neck pprt sejati USA yang terkenal dengan sifat ultra rasis.
