The Visalia Times Delta reported, 'A Visalia teacher has been arrested after an Instagram video showed her appearing to forcibly chop off at least one student's hair while belting out the National Anthem in her classroom.' Alas, Margaret Gieszinger, 52, of Exeter, California, is a distant second place for the title of Worst Educator in America.No, that title belongs to Jennifer Sinclair, principal at Manchester Elementary School in Elkhorn, Nebraska, who banned anything related to Christmas this year, including candy canes. Jennifer Sinclair, 'Banned items listed included Santas, Christmas trees, Elf on the Shelf, singing Christmas carols, playing Christmas music, candy canes and reindeer, homemade ornament gifts, Christmas movies and red and green items.' Candy canes?, 'Historically, the shape is a 'J' for Jesus. The red is for the blood of Christ, and the white is a symbol of his resurrection. This would also include different colored candy canes.' So she banned candy canes because they are Jesus.

And here I thought wine and bread were. (Well, grape juice and bread since I'm a Methodist.)The Omaha newspaper reported, 'The principal did allow some items, among them sledding, hot chocolate, polar bears, penguins, snowmen, gingerbread people, yetis and Olaf — he’s the Disney snowman from 'Frozen.' 'However, the school district allows Christmas trees, Santa and the like because they are secular. And also because the district is run by sane people., 'Sinclair was placed on administrative leave as of Thursday morning.' This raises a question: why would anyone want to work at an elementary school if they hate Christmas like this?But she fared better than Gieszinger who decided to chop the hair of students as a punishment because her test was missing., 'Science teacher Margaret Gieszinger, 52, of Exeter, was later arrested on suspicion of felony child endangerment.

Her bail was set at $100,000.' And if convicted, she would go to jail knowing she was not the kookiest educator this week.###. This school is literally 6 blocks from my house.I don't know what could have possibly been going thru her mind to do this, against school policy, and in a state like NE.

Momentary loss of reason. Not only did she behave foolishly, she's likely very wrong about the origin of the candy cane shape and colors. The Smithsonian says it is unlikely that the candy cane (colors or shape) has any Christian significance (relative to Jesus). The shape might be the way it is so it could be easily hung on X-mas trees. Nobody really knows for sure. Regardless, she's an example of what's wrong in public education and our society. Many leftists are so rabid about removing religion from society, that they violate the 1st Amendment with their actions.
