A principal in Nebraska was placed on leave after issuing a memo to teachers at her school informing them of a new ban on candy canes, Santa Claus, and Christmas trees.

The memo was leaked and obtained by the Liberty Counsel organization, which advocates internationally for religious freedom. The nonprofit organization sent a letter to the superintendent of Elkhorn Public Schools asking for a lift of the ban.
