A middle-schooler was bounced from the school "holiday" dance in New Hampshire for wearing a Santa Claus outfit. His little friend was wearing an elf hat. No word on his fate as of yet.
Said the principal:
"It was a holiday party. 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."
Santa needs to bring that school a new administrator for Christmas.
