Lawsuit Claims School Prevented Boy From Wearing Jesus Costume for Halloween.

If the "stripper costumes" (though looking at what they wear normally is a nother discussion) was legal to where, then Yes I'd be asking the same question.

You would be asking why schoolchildren are not allowed to dress up like strippers during a school-sponsored event?

Weird.

Wouldn't you be wanting to know what Legal costumes are approved of ?

I would assume everything was approved save those things that were not. The latter would be the shorter list by orders of magnitude.

If the facts in the stories are correct, the school was wrong and needs to learn what the law says.

ACLU Joint Statement on religion in Public School

I agree. The school was wrong on this one if the article has the facts straight.

I used to be in the military.
I've seen strippers before the remove there clothing.
Know what ? There fully clothed before they strip.

So were you asking them if the dress up as strippers
Or if they strip ?

This is one of those situations where the school is damned if they do and damned if they dont.

If they let the kid wear the costume, they'll have secular people on the school's ass for "promoting religion". If they tell the kid he cant wear the costume, religious types will be saying that the school is "hindering a person's religious freedom".

No matter what the school does, they'll end up getting in trouble.

I think everyone but the boy is wrong in this case.

First, the mother for using her son to protest in such a personal way.

Second, the school for prohibiting the costume.

Third, the policy that children have to be isolated if they don't conform to a silly tradition.

Fourth, that children are sent to the computer room. What happened to the library? Many more resources, much more to learn... and computers, too!

costumes are just that.when a person puts on a costume for whatever service or celebration i would think one in i don't know how many actually dissect their decision once it pops into their heads.in my experience a costume most of the time just sort of happens.if there is a theme you may give it a bit of thought but for the most part its put on for fun.i live in new orleans and we costume up quite a bit.mardi gras,strawberry fest,nutria fest,blues fest,french quarter fest.we fest alot.and there is always at least one jesus at every fest.at mardi gras,several dragging crosses,some surrounded by clouds,some with bottles of water full of wine.no disrespect jesus was a cool character.

I still don't understand the objection to actually believers in Christ for a CHILD to dressing up as Jesus.

3 John 1:11
Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.

I think I am more insulted by those who object to children dressing like Jesus who are 'Christian', than I do to a public school.
