NEW YORK, NY (CBS) -- The parents of a New York teen named Osama have sued the school system claiming their son was constantly harassed by teachers while school officials did nothing.

I wonder if those teachers and school officials think of themselves as good Christians, of whatever.

A good horsewhipping might to them a 'passle' of good.

[The KG9 Kid]

I think they should rename their son 'Trevor' and STFU.

Trust me on this.

Signed,

Jeff Hitler.

Hmmmmmmm. No comment.

Maned... :^)

I'd toss the whole lot of them back to the stinkhole they crawled out of...

Perhaps it is “the will of Allah.”

re; #4 Maned... :^) Sorry, teacher -- if you had done your job right, this wouldn't have happened.

The child didn't deserve this on account of his name.

And there are Muslim who are loyal Americans--they might not be many, but they do exist.

[GFritsch]

Osama? Obama?

What's in a name?

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

Muslims

To all

Why are you so hostile toward the kid?

[Michael.SF.]

You might want to hear the other side of the story before you stone the teacher's to death.

I find the story a bit hard to believe, at least as it is portrayed in this article.

If the account is accurate, the teachers should be fired.

Although I suspect kids named Adolph didn’t have it too easy in school during WWII.

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

Not all are, and KG9 Kid could actually agree with you—his comment can be seen that way.

Extremely strange story. REALLY strange. Like it's missing a few things, like details. It's nice that the kid is proud of his given name.

Never trust a Muslim family who'd name their kid Osama when they're using the word "outrage". And they're Jordanian. They knew damned well who Binny was 16 years ago.

Who is “All”?

[Fiji Hill]

A few years ago, I was treated at a clinic by a doctor named Osama. He noticed that I had brought along Pat Buchanan's book The Death of the West to read while I sat in the waiting room, and said that he agreed with Buchanan as to the demographic threat to Western civilization posed by Muslims. He explained that he was a Coptic Christian from Egypt and noted how Egyptian Copts are steadily losing influence as Egypt's Muslim population expands.

[RedMonqey]

Cruel? No cruel is BEATING the child because his name is Osama.

I imagine lots of kids get kidded about their names, even in fights. Imagine Adolph during/ after WW2.

[353FMG]

I’d say they should call him Melvin.

"Although I suspect kids named

True. My grandfather's name was Adolf. I guess his parents wanted to give him a nice, German sounding name in order to escape Nazi notice. It didn't work. He joined the military because he wanted to fight Hitler....wound up in the South Pacific fighting the Japanese instead (though he was always quick to point out the military policy of not sending immigrants back to their country of origin to fight against their own former countrymen was a very good one)
