Now this is truly bizarre!!

Maybe They Got The Candy Cane Idea From A New Yorker Cartoon: If
you read Drudge regularly, you've seen this bizarre story. Some boys at
a Virginia school are in trouble because:
The boys say they were just tossing small two-inch candy canes to fellow
students as they entered school. The ones in plastic wrap that are so
small they often break apart.

Skylar Torbett, also a junior, said administrators told him, "They said
the candy canes are weapons because you can sharpen them with your mouth
and stab people with them." He said neither he nor any of their friend
did that.
Boys are generally quite good at improvising weapons, but this idea
seems too nutty even for them. However, I did see it in yesterday's
daily New Yorker calendar. The cartoon shows two detectives in Santa's
workshop, looking at a murdered elf. One detective is telling the
other, "Looks like an inside job."

And we can see a candy cane sticking out of the elf's back.

(To be fair, there may be more to the story than candy canes, as the
school principal claims.)
