Hampton Union Local News: Boy in a Santa suit asked to quit dance

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.'
I swear I am not making this up. It's a real news story, printed by a real news agency.

Of course, you all know that Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Santa Claus, who came to wash away our sins, and drop off a few gifts while he was at it, right?

Caramba. Shoot me now.
