Separation of Church and Idiocy

A New Hampshire middle school student was kicked out of a dance by the school's principal... for wearing a Santa Claus costume.
“It was a holiday party,” Principal Fred Muscara said. “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.”
And in feable effort to cover their collective hind quarters, Superintendent James Gaylord concocted the explanation that the boy was banned because he violated the dress code for last Friday’s event, which was supposed to be a “dress-up dance.”
“I don’t want this to happen again,” said [the student's mother]. “It is unacceptable. When Bryan returned to the school, the principal said, ‘What are you doing, trying to get me fired?’”

That would be a good start. And don't get me going on that despicable Easter Bunny, who as we know, was crucified and rose from the dead in order to hide eggs every Spring.
