I think what the school is saying is that they have children of elves...who are forced to work 365 days out of the year, with no time off...for a fat conservitive who smokes a pipe and wears red all the time. These children would be harmed if anyone came in dress like the "red" man.
Considering the festive atmosphere created here at this school...the answer to this situation is simple. Petition started to rename the school "Santa Claus High School". I'll bet they can get over 75 percent of the local population to sign it and force the school board to consider it. Most of the liberals will be extremely hostile toward this idea...but it fixes the situation real quick.
Santa=Christmas. Christmas=Christ's birthday.
I wonder if the rest of these junior high children wore tuxedos and strapless gowns.
Sniff.....

What makes you think this is a private school? If it is, then "seperation of church and state" is not even an issue.
isn't there an organization that would be against this, something like the anti-ACLU?
Oops ... my bad.
I relied on one of the previous posts.
The fact that this is a public school does put a different spin on the story. Since it's a public school, we can safely assume that its management is hostile to any religious expression.
His name is Marlin. Keep him in your prayers.
Will do.
Principal Fred Muscara said he told the boy he couldn’t get into the dance because he was wearing the costume.
"It was a holiday party," said Muscara. "It was not a Christmas party. There is a separation of church and state. We have a lot of students that go to Hampton Academy Junior High that have different religions. We have to be sensitive to that."Yep! Thanks for the email link. This principal needs his ar$e
spankedFREEPED, alrighty.
Most liberals have no idea what's in the constitution, have never read the establishment clause, and would argue to the end of time that the "separation" is in the constitution as opposed to being conjured from thin air. As for their intolerance for Christ, they are minions of Satan, as surely as if he had them on a leash.
What amazes me is how all these issues (Christmas, gay marriage, and on and on) are all at once so incredibly important. Ten years ago, no one had a problem with Christmas. Now it's just SO important that it be stamped out. Liberals don't think for themselves. They wait around for someone to tell them what the next major issue is that they should be offended over. As already noted, they're directed by Satan at the core, but he manifests himself through the evil of the liberal machine, controlling the legions as if they're nothing more than mindless drones.

I'll bet Mr. Mascara wouldn't have had a problem if the kid showed up in a turban, or whatever it is they call those things.
ha! :^)
Its a public school folks, and its obvious that the principal and his school board compatriots are just as PC and/or downright dumb as you could imagine. Clearly the principal knows little about history, law, or even Christianity for that matter. How dumb (or PC infected) do you have to be to say that a Santa Claus costume is inappropriate for a "holiday" party -- particularly when they reportedly had someone else dressed as Santa visit the school a couple of days earlier?
Private its not, and we all have the privilege of paying these idiots' salaries.
