“Boy Sent Home From School For Dressing As Jesus”

Jesus didn’t tap:

Decked out in sandals, a robe, fake beard and thorns, the 13-year-old joined 500 other students at his school’s Halloween celebration, and on this day, he was the chosen one – to go home.

“It was offensive to some students,” Woinski said, when asked what school officials told him the reason for being sent home was.

[…]

“I don’t think I overreacted,” Principal Joan Broe told CBS 2.

Broe said too many students were drawn to the costume, and that was reason enough.

“Children were [asking], where is the boy who is Jesus Christ?” she said. “It was disrupting the education process.”

Unlike the other 499 costumes, presumably. Because what can be better for the “educational process” than having a bunch of teen girls walking the halls of puberty central dressed as, say, black cats, or belly dancers?

Ironically, wearing long hair, a beard, and sandals may at one time have gotten you invited to a Weather Underground mixer.

But only if you brought a sitar. The whole crown of thorns, thing? A total downer, man.

    Counselors will be available Monday morning.

    We must revel in this revealing moment. Jesus was a community organizer you know.

  3. ThomasD says:

    Somehow I don’t think a Moses costume would have been a problem.

    Mohammed? Big problem.

  4. happyfeet says:

    Where is the boy who is Jesus Christ? There can be only one One I think, days are. That’s why they call him The One.

    Look if you don’t get it I can’t explain.

  5. ThomasD says:

    When I was in China they sold me a Chairman Mao wristwatch – waving hand and all. It’s a shame the German’s don’t do the same with you know who.

    I think the Russians would sell you actual bits of Stalin for the right price.

  6. happyfeet says:

    He was decked out. Like Jesus. In front of everyone. Where people could see I mean. I did the only thing I could do.

    What else did he expect from the administrators and teachers? That’s dropping a turd in the punch bowl on one of the Secular Progressive High Holidays.

  8. I dressed in the same getup once for Halloween, complete with thorns and stigmata. It wasn’t weird until a friend showed up as a Roman Centurion.

  9. ThomasD says:

    Was he promising to stem the rise of the oceans? Because that gig is spoken for…

    i’d follow him anywhere-if he took his left sandal off
    and waved it in the air
    but let’s not haggle
    i wish i was so lucky to have an obama guard spit on me

    Only if it was seen as denigrating. If it was out of “respect”, not so much I think.

  13. poppa india says:

    I once had a girl friend who went to a Halloween party with me, dressed as a belly dancer-it was good for my educational process. I’m glad she didn’t dress like JC, would have killed the whole vibe…

  14. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    However, poppa india, I have seen some nun costumes that were pretty hot.

  15. pdbuttons says:

    btw/all the nuns that the tv shows are so hot..
    i call ’em-‘nun-spokes-model-weather girls’
    my first grade nun i affectionately call-sister andromeda strain
    she be big-like refrigerator

    Jeff!! Mark this day down on your calendar: I agree with you! :-)

  17. Bob Reed says:

    B-But…I don’t understand the problem…?

    I mean, all of the secular progressives consider Him a myth, and his religion a superstition; kinda like the easter bunny, santa claus, and the tooth fairy…

    How’s that any different from wearing a pirate costume…?

    I guess it may have something to do with the fact that Johnny Depp never played Jesus…

    But I’d venture to say that he just may have seen him a few times on some of his better trips

    jus’ sayin’…

  18. Robert says:

    The real test would have been if the fattest kid in the school would put on a diaper and go as Buddha. See if the principal would kick him out.

  22. happyfeet says:

    Yay you! I’m so happy to see you if you saw me you’d say that guy is very happy too see somebody what’s up with him?

  28. […] My, how times have changed. Back in the 90s when I still lived in Miami my goth friends and I used to go to this bar in Ft. Lauderdale called Squeeze to see local bands like Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids, and such. One Halloween we went to their special Halloween party. They were having a costume party. The guy who won had come in dressed as Jesus, complete with a (no doubt made of cardboard or styrofoam) cross hanging off his back. Everyone applauded, even the punks and the guys dressed like Satan.
