Child Banned From Putting a Jesus Costume into a Pagan Holiday Celebration. His Expression Against Paganism was Denied.

by @ 10:23 pm. Filed under Nuts on Parade

When I was young I learned about the historical roots of Halloween and decided at that point I no longer wished to participate. It seems one young man found a different way to express his displeasure with the pagan holiday known as Halloween and it was not well received.

Mother sues Abington district over son?s Jesus costume

An Abington Township woman and her 10-year old son have sued the Abington School District, saying that the principal at the Willow Hill Elementary School there would not allow the boy to wear a Jesus costume, complete with a paper-and-twig crown of thorns, during a Halloween parade there last fall.

Instead, the suit says, he was told that he could wear only his white robe, without the crown, and should say he was a Roman emperor. The boy wanted to wear the costume to make a statement about his Christian beliefs and his opposition to the pagan aspects of Halloween, the suit says. Other children were allowed to dress as devils and goblins, the suit says.

Once upon a time in America, churches were the builders of schools and the government would even provide some of the funds for children to attend those schools. The schools were built to help educate children to do things like read the Bible and prayer was done regularly. Now we see even a kid dressing up as Jesus on Halloween gets rejected. Satan is able to gleefully watch children parade and pretend to be forces of evil, while any resemblance of Jesus is rejected. Books about a boy going to a school of witchcraft are featured, while the Bible is often now rejected in public schools. America is losing it’s focus on God and when you turn from God there is literally hell to pay.

Dennis over at Fire & Hammer has more commentary about this mess.

Of course the good folks at the Alliance Defense Fund are all over this case.
