"... she come[s] from a place that Christmas and the like are not allowed in schools." And thus she must impose that on everyone, even in vastly different communities. Typical narcissistic Statist.

Yep, about 2 people in Nebraska.
I might have this wrong, but I think the article is a little light on Sinclair. It suggests she said to “avoid” these symbols of Christmas. My understanding was that she banned them.
Hoping she loses her job and she can move away to wherever she will fit in with the depraved culture elsewhere.

When I went back for my MBA, the school also pumped out a lot of Edu majors. Talking to them, after years in STEM departments, you quickly realize that teachers-to-be are the absolute bottom of the academic barrel.That's a broad brush, but as a "person on the periphery" and child of two teachers, I can understand painting with it. When I was attending the diploma mill many years ago, I came to the same conclusion.
If you think teachers-to-be are a bad lot academically, administrators are generally no better but have gone to finishing school... the "commisioned officers" of the government schools, so to speak. My dad had a low opinion of the abilities of many teachers in his district, but his real disdain was for administrators who he generalized as "people who couldn't teach well enough to stay employed, so they got their masters degree and became administrators."
(Dad did respect and appreciate the few exceptions.)

She needs about 14 cases of candy canes dumped on her desk.

I live in rural SW PA and it is my opinion, having been on the school board for almost five years, that the commies are done with the cities and have infiltrated the rural communities.
Many folks out here are not of the political mindset to see the progrssive socialist as a reality, let alone act / react against them.
Our schools are plums for the consumption.
Little to no crime and negative populations, and the ability to operate and "get things done / passed before anyone wakes up and says, "Wait ... what ?"

Just another liberal not “offending” 1-5% of the people by offending 95% of them. The world is upside down.
