Welcome to Communism! They will be teaching them to goose step and how to hate this country. Once again, we need to stop the NEA.
Candy Canes are ....errr ....well candy canes, no more religious than frosty or Rudolph....
the teacher’s use of the word ‘Jesus’, should get her suspended.....
I’m glad to see that the names of the teacher and principal are published.
If the kid had brought in Korans, the teachers & staff would have lined up every student to receive one.
“perceived sex”
interesting
There is an active effort to eliminate Christianity.
Candy canes don’t have anything to do with Christianity, if I recall. Those are all tall tales, but harmless.
who would want Valerie Lu as their child’s teacher?
Of course the natural question is.... What if it had been a muslim student with messages about his religion?
It would have been perfectly acceptable and the teacher would not dream of infringing on his freedom of religion, less the muslim community would have been in an uproar, the teacher would be fired and the school hit with a discrimination lawsuit.
War on Christians in America continues...
Well, on the other hand, you have to consider the possibility that a first grade boy could be confused for the United States Congress and that a candy cane with a message might well be construed to be a law establishing a state religion. There is no doubt the boy (Congress) was passing a candy cane (law), and that is not allowed.
The parent never should have put this poor little kid through this
Found this on the internet (note, I hate snopes):

But I have seen various iterations of this message of the candy cane and believe it to be completely hokey and opportunistic “preaching” or “Christian outreach” and this little kid’s parent ought to be ashamed for sending such a thing to a public school. S/he would have to be a complete dolt not to realize it was going to cause a problem and to use his/her child in such a fashion is manipulative and abusive.
The teacher and the school acted foolishly too, heaping further humiliation and abuse on this poor kid.
All the adults acted abominably.
I think this was an overreaction, BUT, the parent of this child set him up. If he was simply passing out candy canes, even red and white ones, that should have passed ‘muster’. These candy canes were wrapped showing printed copy that referred to the Bible. Of course, to me, no problem, but to the Poorly Trained-but Fully Indoctrinated-Teacher Product of today, that changes a candy share into prosletyzing in one instant. Blinking Red Lights!! For the time being, don’t set you little kids up for a shouted NO! from a teacher. That ruins a kids day.
What is it about Jesus that makes so many otherwise stable left-wing radicals become so unhinged?
I saw a movie “Last Ounce of Courage” about being able to freely celebrate Christmas in the public square. I loved it. The liberals are hitting any board, like IMDB and Amazon, sneering at the movie.
I’m sure the teacher had no problem having two weeks off for Christmas vacation,though!
The anti-Jesus Nazis never rest.
So we been keepin’ Jesus out of schools for a few decades now hows that working for is ..is violence down?
bullying down? shcool shootings down? respect for authority up? hello?
Maybe its time to try something differnt this surely is NOT WORKING

Nice choice of words.
Wouldn’t “diversity” and “tolerance” dictate that the child be able to distribute the candy canes as originally packaged, then the teacher offer the opportunity for others of different beliefs to offer their views? I mean diversity is about sharing, not censorship, right? Isn’t that what we were told?
