School bars pilgrim, Indian costumes as insensitive



"After a parent complained that the costumes the children had made might be offensive, the principal told the kids to leave their construction-paper headdresses on the classroom shelves.

"Those who had opted to be pilgrims fared no better. Their paper black hats and bonnets also were banned, and for the first time in more than two decades, the 1st graders at Madison School commemorated the events of October 1621 in their school clothes." - "Are we horse whipping enough dickwads?" continued.

Maybe those events should be commemorated by going to school on Thursday and Friday.
