Pa. student suspended for wearing Santa suit "defiance of authority."

I Know Not Funny, But Odd News.



WALLINGFORD, Pa. (AP) -- A suburban Philadelphia teenager was suspended for a day for wearing a Santa Claus suit to school.

Michael Hance says he told his principal that he planned to wear the suit to Strath Haven High School in Wallingford and hand out candy canes. The 18-year-old senior says the principal told him that wasn't a good idea because it would be a distraction. But he wore the suit anyway, with regular clothes underneath.

This happened at the school where my son goes!!! Surprisingly, the kids do caroling in the hallways and even sing religious music for concerts. The administration had specifically told him not to wear the outfit so I'm sure he was suspended, not for wearing it, but for insubordination. bah humbug.
