'Grinch' principal on leave after attempt to ban Christmas items from school

Some Nebraskans are calling an elementary school principal a Grinch after she issued a memo to school staff that prohibited certain Christmas decorations and other religious symbols.

Jennifer Sinclair of Manchester Elementary in Elkhorn, Neb., was placed on administrative leave Thursday following her directive, the Omaha World-Herald reported.

District spokeswoman Kara Perchal said the district would not comment further.

"Elkhorn Public Schools District administration promptly addressed the issue at Manchester Elementary School regarding the memo that was sent by the principal to Manchester elementary staff," the district said in a statement.

An Elkhorn elementary school principal tried to ban Christmas. It didn't go well.

Manchester Elementary School principal Jennifer Sinclair issued a memo to staff prohibiting all Christmas-related symbols. District officials hastily reversed the ban.

Items prohibited by Sinclair include Santa items, Christmas trees, the “Elf on the Shelf,” singing Christmas carols, playing Christmas music, candy canes and reindeer, homemade ornament gifts, Christmas movies and red and green items.

The reasoning behind the proposed ban wasn't entirely clear from the principal's statement.

All of this is just a nasty bullying effort by anti-Christian people in the education establishment.

You're right...

I’m sure she’s terribly upset about her taxpayer paid vacation that will likely go until January.

I pity her kids. Nutcakes of the future if they don’t run away first.

Married. 3 kids.

Feel sorry for the 3 children. Probably not much of a Christmas allowed for that family.

This normal for school districts in Western WA. Christmas is banned in the schools. It is the “Winter Holiday “. It has been for years. They can’t even play religious orchestral music at the concerts, not even classical music that was written for worship, like the Halelujah Chorus or Ave Maria.

Of all the comments here, your last line sums it up best. Not evil. Not malicious. Just an ignorant self righteous leftist twit. We crank them out by the
Millions from our schools

Lots of coal in their stockings. They are not on Santa’s “naughty” list, they are on his “evil” list.

Crazy eyes are a very powerful indicator. With all seriousness, every woman I have seen with crazy eyes has been somewhat crazy.

If she is this way about Christmas then she is going to corrupt the minds of the kids with “liberal” thinking.

She’s too dumb to be a teacher much less a principal.

That seems to be all too common in public education these days.

Obviously, the US Constitution is not on her reading list.

Or the Holy Bible for that matter.

"Married.

3 kids."

So what are the odds that her 3 children are too busy for Christmas because they are trying to decide their sex?
