This week, we told you about our new case, in which our young client, Isaiah Martinez, brought a gift for his classmates: Candy canes with a Christian message attached explaining the legend of the candy cane. After conferring with the principal, his first grade teacher removed the Christian message from the candy canes and told him, “Jesus is not allowed in school.” You can read the full story of this case here. This is an important case, and one that all parents, students, and teachers deserve to hear about. The message is critical – our children should not be subjected to hostility from their public school teachers and administrators simply because they are Christians and desire to live out their faith in the place they spend a significant portion of their time…at school.
We are grateful that this case is being amplified by the media so that more families will be encouraged to stand for our religious liberty. Here are a few of the media links:
