Dunetz, after noting the lady principle who banned candy canes is nuts, explains that she banned them because she thinks it’s a Christian symbol, because they're shaped like a "J" as in Jesus. I've also heard of people saying that they look like shepherd’s crooks, as in the shepherds who watched their flocks by night.
All wrong — the crooked handle is to keep them from falling off the tree.
Here’s more from Dunetz:
This foolishness came from Omaha Manchester Elementary School principal Jennifer Sinclair who put out a list of things she was banning during the weeks leading up to Christmas. Sinclair outlined all her banned items in a letter home to parents telling students that they need to learn to be “inclusive and culturally sensitive to all of our students.” Her list included:
Mainstream media coverage says that the principal who did it has been placed on leave–good!
The banning red and green stuff is an old story to us.
