Correct. Candy canes were originally sold as a tummy ache remedy for children (they contained peppermint, a mild child safe analgesic). It wasn’t until many years later that the red stripe was added and it became a Christmas candy.
Lu – at the apparent direction of Pfitzer – then ripped the candy cane message from each candy cane, threw the messages in the trash, and returned the candy canes back to Martinez for delivery to his classmates, according to attorneys.
Unmentioned is what the message was (possibly a Gospel quote?), which was attached to the canes.
