What is going on in this world that students can't pass out candy canes at their high school without getting grief? Not to far from my house, 10 boys got detention and work duty for trying to spread some Christmas cheer. The boys call themselves the "Christmas Sweater Club" because they wear incredibly tacky Christmas sweaters to school and sign carols around the school grounds. One morning at 7 a.m., the boys were singing carols and tossing small 2" wrapped candy canes to students as they entered school. This next part is quoted right from the article: School authorities said the boys were "maliciously trying to maim students with the intent to injure." They said that " candy canes are weapons because you could sharpen them with your mouth and stab people." Another school administrator said that "not everyone wants Christmas cheer. That suicide rates are up over Christmas and the boys should keep their cheer to themselves." The boys refused to go all bah-hum-bug and continue to wear their sweaters and sing carols. They just stopped passing out the candy canes.
