OK, why is this offensive?
He sure made SOMEONE very cross, and they nailed him for it.

Well, my best guess is it's either because it was a disruption as the school says, or it is more fall out from the ACLU driven, false separation of church and state, persecution, just as the whole overhype from HIPPA is in the medical community, and everyone is scared of being sued by some liberal organization or fined and/or punished by the government.

Ugh, must you make this another political thread? How about a real answer.
I don't find it one bit offensive..

I personally wouldn't find it offensive, but that wasn't your question. You asked why is this offensive, so I answered your question.
It's not so much political as it is a bash at the current litigious socitey we live in. It comes from a fear of being sued. That's why schools now, instead of giving kids detention for fighting, they call the cops, thats why schools report kids for sexual assault if a kid kisses a girl who doesn't like him, it's crazy.
The amount of effort that goes into people who have to waste time, going out of the way, to cover their ***, so they don't get sued, is obscene.
A lot of this comes from organizations like the ACLU. I will affirm that they do take on some legitimate causes, but they also take on some absolute ****.
That was my main point.

I think it was because the ***-squad did not aprove of the kid associating Jesus with what they consider to be spooky/paganish things.
What I'm wondering, is why the ***-squad were there in the first place.
Where they at a celebration of All Hallows Eve, ie a Christian celebration, because that where they should have been.
Much more likely, they were in spooky masks and clothing, ie a kids party and nothing to do with Christianity, so what were they doing there ? They should have been grovelling on their knees somewhere else, like church.

What I wanna know, is who was offended, some fundamentalist religious freaks, or some politically correct liberal bastards.

Perhaps he was headbutting the other kids with his crown of thorns.
Who knows? Kids are always being sent home for behaving badly. We probably don't have the full story ....

Would the boy be sent home for dressing up as Satan?

Valid question. Who did the complaining here?
Christian folks who considered this blasphemous?
Folks of other religions who didn't dress up like their religious leader?
Atheist folks who felt religion was being shoved down their throat?
Homosexual boys who were told they couldn't wear dresses?
Middle Eastern kids who complained that Jesus wasn't white?
The kid that dressed up like Judas Iscariot?
Interesting...

I'd like to see the 600-lb. kid dress up like Buddha.

You'll be dead as soon as you reach Nebraska, actually make it any further south, you'll probably get tossed in a field and made to pick oranges, or deported..

Have to throw out a BS flag on that. A couple years back a friend of mine went as a black Jesus, afro and all for Halloween and even won the prize at one of the local bars here in Nebraska.

I for one always wanted to go as a cross dressing, pregnant nun. I thought that would be a show stopper.
