Nearly an entire classroom of students has been suspended after an incident of bullying at a school in Halton region.
Friday, November 20 was Kick A Ginger Day and it appears that teenagers at Burlington Central High School participated.
A group of 25 children targeted four of their peers in the attack.
“In 2005, there was an episode of South Park where they beat up one of the red-headed kids in the school,” explained Mike D’Abramo on CityOnline.
“Now, South Park is not meant to be taken seriously,” the director of Youthography added.
“But it’s absolutely bullying.”
School officials agreed and everyone involved – from on-lookers to ringleaders – has been suspended.
Administrative staff interviewed students and their parents on Monday and Tuesday.
“Everyone has been suspended in one way or another,” Halton Region Trustee Mary Dilly said on CityOnline.
The length of the suspensions ranges from one to three days.
