• Pennsylvania boy sues school for banning Jesus Halloween costume

A 10-year-old boy who said he was not allowed to wear a Jesus costume during his school's Halloween activities sued the district, alleging his religious and free-speech rights were violated. The complaint, filed in federal court Tuesday, said officials at Willow Hill elementary school in Glenside, Pa., told the boy Oct. 31 he could not wear his faux crown of thorns or tell others he was dressed as Jesus.

The school has a policy against costumes of a religious nature. He wouldn't do well in Italy, either.
