Supreme Court May Rule on Candy Cane Symbolism in Censorship Case

What is the meaning of a candy cane? Is it a religious symbol? Why are the cherry-flavored, rainbow ones so hard to find? The Supreme Court has been asked to weigh in on at least two of these questions, in a ruling that could come to rival the Twinkie defense in food-related legal lore. The case appealed to the high court on Monday involves the candy cane-style Christmas ornaments made in 2003 by then 11-year-old Joel Curry for a project at his public school in Saginaw, Michigan.
