In Haymarket, Va. the "Christmas Sweater Club" is in trouble.
If you are wondering, they call themselves that because they wear these crazy and sing Christmas songs at school and try their best to spread Christmas cheer.

But now, all 10 of them are in trouble because of this terrible thing they did at school.
They say they were tossing those small two-inch candy canes to other students as they entered school.
These are the candy canes that are in plastic wrap, and sometimes (actually, most times) they break apart.

School administrators said the candy canes are weapons because you can sharpen them with your mouth and stab people with them. (another terrorist trick)
Next thing they knew, they were all being punished with detention and at least two hours of cleaning.
Their disciplinary notices didn't mention the dangerous candy canes, instead they were written up for littering and creating a disturbance.

Principal Amy Etheridge-Conti says she can't comment on the students' discipline but did say there was a lot more to it than handing out candy and that the discipline was warranted.
In an effort to explain themselves, the administrator said, "not everyone wants Christmas cheer."
That "suicide rates are up over Christmas, and that they should keep their cheer to themselves, perhaps."
