"The dance was a private function at a private school."
This is a public academy within the Hampton School Distict, not a private academy or school.
=== Ouch, that's a tiny bit too far don'cha think?
I don't think so. These "tolerant" sorts so wigged out by Christianity are the first to support the "choice" by which over 40 million lives have been snuffed out who'll never go to a dance ... dressed as Santa or otherwise.
I think that's one reason, actually, it's almost critical that our alleged "pro-life" leadership invariable seem to have pro-abort wives. They wish to keep us in "agree to disagree" mode where the ongoing holocaust of only the most innocent lives among us are concerned.
Don't worry ... I have no illusions that the table will break anytime soon. That's the real horror right there.
==== There was nothing stopping anyone from having this principal's head on a pike--outside of a lack of balls.
This is one of the times I wish I had a child of my own, actually. I'd have been hellbent for leather had my kid gone to the trouble of costuming to amuse and delight his friends only to have some pointy-headed bully tell him Santa wasn't welcome at the Solstice Holiday party.
That boy's a dead ringer for my NYC sister who never missed an opportunity to cut up thus and entertain. She can attest that hell hath no fury like an older sister standing up for a sibling.
(Nobody beats up on Odie but me ...)
I'm sure the same would go, in spades, where my children were concerned. I applaud their telling the story and demanding an apology but I think the meeting should be out in the open just like the public humiliation of their son.
What a great kid ... I trust this turns him -- and those of his friends who "get it" -- into Sons of Brutus.
