INSANITY: School Principal Bans Candy Canes Because “The J Stands For Jesus”

You wouldn’t think this could possibly be real, but it is.

An elementary school principal in Nebraska has banned candy canes.

Why?  

Because they’re sticky and create a huge mess?

Because you can sharpen them into a point as you eat them and stab someone?

Because they don’t like peppermint flavor?

No, no…..none of those reasons.

Because the principal thinks the shape of the candy cane is a J and the J secretly stands for Jesus.

FACE PALM.

Let’s set aside for a second that they’re in the shape of a CANE (as in the name, Candy CANE), even assuming they were a J in honor of Jesus, is that a valid reason to ban them in a public school?

As we’ve said so often before, the First Amendment protects freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion.  It’s a big difference.

Let’s hope this teacher isn’t teaching social studies or civics.
