While Isaiah Martinez was giving Christmas candy canes to classmates, his first grade teacher, Valerie Lu, under orders by her supervisor, Gordon Pfitzer of Merced Elementary School, grabbed the gifts and ripped off the tags that Isaiah and his sister made telling a story of Jesus Christ.  The West Covina Unified School District responded that the teacher was simply maintaining "religious neutrality," by saying "Jesus is not allowed in school."

"The actions of the school district were hostile and intimidating to Isaiah."

A first-grade teacher in California told a student that "Jesus is not allowed in school" before removing a religious story the child affixed to candy canes in celebration of Christmas last month, a non-profit legal firm claims.
The incident reportedly unfolded on Dec. 13, when 6-year-old Isaiah Martinez brought gifts for his peers to Merced Elementary School in West Covina, Calif.
According to a press release distributed by Advocates for Faith & Freedom, the firm handling the case, "Each gift consisted of a traditional candy cane with a message attached that recited the legend of the candy cane. The legend references a candy maker who created the candy cane to symbolize the life of Jesus Christ."
And that's where the controversy comes in. See more below:
