Cert. Denied In Case On Religious Candy Canes In School

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS

Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court denied certiorari in Curry v. Hensinger, (Docket No. 08-190) (Order List.) In the case, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals concluded that a Saginaw, Michigan school had legitimate pedagogical reasons for barring a fifth-grader from selling candy canes with religious material attached as part of a classroom project to learn about marketing. (See prior posting.) Education Week reported on the Supreme Court's action. [Thanks to Alliance Alert for the lead.]
