Cato Institute's Constitutional Scholar Ilya Shapiro On Students' First Amendment Freedom Of Religion Rights In "Candy Cane Case"



CBN explains that the "8-year-old Candy Cane Case that questions whether elementary students have First Amendment rights reached the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday. Seventeen judges heard arguments in the Morgan v. Plano Independent School District, a lawsuit that stems from several freedom of religion cases. The saga began in 2003, when then 8-year-old Jonathan Morgan was banned from handing out candy canes to his classmates because a poem about Jesus was attached to the package."
