Boy Gets Sent From School for Jesus Costume

A middle school student from New Jersey was sent home Friday after he came to school dressed up as Jesus for Halloween.

Decked out in sandals, a robe, fake beard and thorns, 13-year-old Alex Woinski joined 500 other students at West Brook Middle School in Paramus.

"It was offensive to some students," Woinski said, when asked what school officials told him the reason for being sent home was.

Woinski has developed an interest in religion. His mother is Catholic and his father is Jewish. He recently celebrated his Bar Mitzvah and his also studying Bible scripture.

Now, by no means am I a religious person, but in a time where every teenaged girl is dressed like street walker on Halloween, where at every turn there are extreme costumes of blood and gore, I have to laugh at this, because the people who sent this boy home from school most likely, were bible thumpers themselves.
