Mocked for his red-and-white gym gear and derided for hailing from a nation of seal clubbers, an Ottawa-born teenager says he dropped out of a Christian school in Upstate New York because staff relentlessly teased him over his Canadian background.

If he were from Mexico, just imagine the outrage there would be.
What good are you if you can’t take a little good-natured ribbing from your friends?

As a fellow Canadian, I would have only one thing to say to that student:
Waaah waaah waaah...
You think that school was bad? Wait until you reach your typical public High School. :P
I have a Canadian background
Bring it on !!!
You know why...
Because you can actually SAY bad things about canadians because they are mostly white....
All that repression in most people even liberals will spill out onto people they veiw as “Being safe to discriminate/joke about”...
People shouldn’t mock Canada, our big retarded cousin who lives in the attic.
“I think it started as joking and then it went too far,” said Noah Kilpatrick, speaking by phone from Watertown, New York.
Attending Faith Fellowship Christian School was otherwise fine, said Noah, but in class the teacher would often lampoon Canada as a cartoonishly small country filled with communists and people who club seals for fun.
“History class and sometimes math class … they were stereotyping Canadians and saying we were all stupid — it was offensive,” he said.
It sounds as if he had a teacher educated by TV’s South Park. I don’t blame him for being irritated.
Don’t blame Canada!!
“People shouldn’t mock Canada, our big retarded cousin who lives in the attic.”
Time to ping the GreatWhiteNorth list, eh, buddy?
Just having fun.
Did you know Celine Dion is the official state bird of Canada?
Canadians have tails. They must have seen his in gym class.
“Just having fun”, eh?
Be careful or I’ll grab your toque and play pig-in-the-middle with it.
That and a hockey-glove face-wash are the northern idea of fun eh?
So take off, eh!
P.S. Celine Dion belongs to Vegas, or Quebec.
So a Christian school chases away a Canadian with their insensitivity? Somehow I wonder what the true facts are on this. Doesn’t add up.
Oh, Canada....
Good thing he didn’t watch The South Park Movie.
Has Canada officially apologized for Bryan Adams, yet?
I blame Justin Bieber.
When I went to high school we all were required to wear the same gym uniform.
