    The document summarizes and analyzes a political cartoon about a Massachusetts elementary school that banned references to Christmas in 2009 in order to have a "religiously neutral holiday." It discusses the differing opinions of a teacher and student over candy canes and the school's restrictive rules due to fears over anything being too "Christmassy." It also briefly summarizes the 1963 Supreme Court case Abington School District v. Schempp which ruled that Bible readings in public schools violated the Establishment Clause.
