January was a busy month for religion in the news. Six public school students -- suspended from school for distributing candy canes before last month's Christmas break -- filed a federal lawsuit to defend their right to distribute the sugary treats and the sacred message they convey. Bills were introduced to require public school students to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Still more bills were introduced to require that a religious slogan be posted in public places. And that's not all: saying grace before supper was prohibited in state-supported schools and so was declaring love for God; a court ruled that freedom of speech was allowed on sidewalks; Religious Freedom Day was celebrated; and a Supreme Court Justice said that the rest of us could do his job. It was one busy month.

Enjoy!
