Wonder what they do if a blood crazed islamist showed up.

I’m sure if that same kid was wearing a Che Guevara or a I hate Republicans t-shirt everything would be fine.

When did Halloween costumes change from ghosts and goblins to celebrities and icons? Am I THAT old that I missed it all?

her son was asked to remove his Jesus costume after two teachers at his high school reportedly complained that the costume was offensive.

What are the names of the teachers that were allegedly offended? Let's get their names out there. Bureaucrats use being offended as their ultimate trump card. And if they can play it while remaining anonymous, that's even better.

I wonder how many kids went dressed like the devil.

Well, I would agree presenting oneself as the son of God is a tricky one. True, there were other students dressed as religious figures, such as Moses. Moses was a human being though, not the divine savior. So, I *can* see where some Christian students might not feel comfortable with it.

At the same time, however, intent is important here. From the looks of the picture, this child is representing Jesus is a respectful, inspiring way. That should count for a lot. It would be one thing if it was some left-tard wanting to be insulting/blasphemous with “Transgendered Jesus” or some rot. But a student who appears to have been sincere in his faith and is cherishing with his costume is a very different scenario, IMHO.

Of course, the school was fine with him dressing up as Snoop Dogg the previous year, so I don’t think the administrator’s objections were particularly concerned with nuance or intent.

And I agree with what others are saying - Che Guevera or the like probably would have been just fine with the school
(good gravy, what a mess!)

I am offended by the images on their calendar, including a sword fight and a female mating dance... :p

Christ offended many when he walked the Earth as one of us… and he offends many still. His message was and is difficult and controversial. That He is still hated should not surprise us. The more things change….

Give the kid a break, he didn’t actually tell people he ~was~ Jesus, he just dressed up as him for a “holiday” (that I doubt Jesus would approve of), but innocently enough.

Despite the spin, it sounds like he was mocking God.

Offended liberal lying teachers proving their ignorant arrogance and foolishness and selfishness once again. Such teachers and liberals and leftist democrats offend me very, very much indeed.

"When I asked her what she meant by offensive, she couldn't tell me," Frison said. "He's walking around dressed like Jesus, a religious icon. What's offensive about that?"

The mother went on to tell ABC 7 News that other students at the school reportedly dressed as Mormons, priests, and even the biblical character Moses, and were not ordered to change out of their costume like her son was.

The Lord of Lords cannot be proclaimed by the evil ones who have already chosen Satan as their own god - I've herad religious folks say that if someone proclaims themselves as icons for God and wants you to follow them, ask them to proclaim Jesus as lord and Savior of us all....
