Principal bans candy canes....

[ram1076]

I think he meant it with a comma. Someone who thinks that Jesus people are pathetic animals wouldn't bother censoring the word Jesus so as to attempt not to take his name in vain. Not that the censorship helps, I don't think. We all know what he means, and I think an all knowing man in the sky would be able to figure it out as well.

Whoops my bad!!! Definately should have been a comma there

I think you meant, "Jesus, people are pathetic animals." Without the comma it sounds like you're saying that people who follow Jesus are pathetic animals. Grammar is important!

You are correct, definately an oversite on my part!!!

I suppose the best solution would be to just not give anyone the day off, and if you want it off, burn a vacation day.

It is the only day Teamster Terminals are closed. Midnight Dec 24th until Midnight Dec. 25th. There are still guys that have no families that work it.

We need to find an island for all these lunatics and ship them there, then nuke it.

[ziggen]

You mean until it becomes the shape of a..........pencil?

Good point. We had better ban those from schools, as well. Really, there's no need for them in today's digital age.

I'm pretty sure that's what Jesus would do...

So, where is Jesús gonna go to school ????

It is only a j if you are holding it upside down. Obviously it was user error.

I think as stated earlier the candy cane represents a shepherds staff.every early religions had shepherds.
Barber pole? what about the north pole, ban that too???
Satan is alive and well, around here we call him the after Christmas Holiday diet...

He should be fired. People like that who have no common sense should not be in the position he is in.

I don't think it has anything to do with common sense...I believe it's strictly agenda.....

The sad part is this principal has bought into the myth that candy canes were shaped like a J to represent J for Jesus. However that's only a myth with no relationship to the truth. The original candy canes were sticks and just straight and white. Over time They morphed into a J when candy started being hung on Christmas trees. The J is handy for that task. So we have yet another uneducated educator spoiling the education system. Go figure.

This is what I thought the hook was for also.

Vote! And do it intelligently. You may want to take a look at what and how our youth are being taught today. It all started about 10yrs ago if you get my picture. If you sit at home on election day, then YOU are part of the problem, and will continue to loose a little bit of your freedoms every day. We have met the enemy, it is us. The ones who do vote do so for the same person relecting them time and time again. Wake up America.

This is because we allow inmates to choose and practice their religion and make all reasonable accomodations for them to do so. Indian sweat lodges, Islam, Hindu, Christianity, Wicken and a hundred others. No inmate or staff is allowed to disrupt any of them. At my last workplace every year on Christmas day a local Church group of at least 200 people come and sing Christmas songs and pray. They bring a brown bag of candy, cookies, a card made by the children, and a small Bible, a few colors and pens and pencils, and writing paper with envelopes. Not one single inmate refuses the "presents" given in Jesus name. Granted some will give the Bible away and not participate in the prayer part or Christmas songs but they ALL take the gift and ALL thank the members and are very respectful. Never an incident in over 20 years of this. The Deputy Director of the institution works all religious Holidays as his family does not celebrate religious holidays, they are just another work day for him and he doesn't have to work them but does. People just need to be tolerant of ALL others when it comes to beliefs, the inmates i spoke of set a great example of that on any religious holidays for any group. Do they do the same once they are out, I don't know.

I think that is the direction we are going. There are so many cultures in this country now that it is inevitable, in the name of “fairness “, that all religious holidays are eventually going to disappear. Workers will be given a couple of floating holidays to use at their discretion.
