Teacher disciplined for telling black student he can't dress like Santa

Cleveland High School students were given permission to dress up as their favorite Christmas character to honor the spirit of the season.

Christopher, a ninth grader from Rio Rancho who also suffers from autism, decided to come to school dressed as Santa much as many of his classmates did.

Enter the school's resident racist Grinch.

"Christopher, don't you know Santa Claus is white? Why are you wearing that?" is what the teacher told the student, according to the teen's stepdad Michael Rougier.

Perhaps Megyn "Santa just is white" KKKelly can book the teacher as a guest.

This is like all the freaks who pissed themselves when Baldur from Thor was played by Idris Elba. "He's Norse, not Black!!111" Um, Asgard isn't real. He can be any color. And still not be real.
