Principal's Panties All in a Bunch Over Halloween Costume
The principal of a New York suburban high school has banned all Halloween costumes at his school after 3 girls showed up dressed as
- Sen. Larry Craig (including potty seat and wide stance);
- Fired mom Britney Spears (panty-challenged version);
- Glambo the Hello Kitty gun-toting femme-bot; or
- The hero of a series of best-selling children's books.
If you guessed #4, you're correct! Last year, 3 girls at the school dressed as Captain Underpants, wearing beige leotards and nude stockings under white briefs and red capes to portray the superhero, who has battled such foes as talking toilets.
The principal, Nicholas Restivo, who sent the three girls home to change, said the episode solidified his sense that the school's costume tradition was disruptive.
I'm being a principal. I'm not being an ogre.
Students beg to differ. They're circulating a petition opposing the costume crackdown.
I suggest that Restivo move to Moscow. He'd feel right at home.
