Candy cane case dies at high court’s door
Michigan’s Saginaw News reports:
The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal in a case involving a former Handley Elementary School fifth-grader who tried to sell candy canes with a religious message.
The high court Monday denied the petition that Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Alliance Defense Fund filed on behalf of Joel Curry, court records show.
Curry was 11 in 2003 when he made candy cane-style Christmas ornaments with notes that school officials considered ”religious literature.” The notes attached to the ornaments, titled ”The Meaning of the Candy Cane,” referred to Jesus six times and God twice.
