A boy in northern B.C. singled out because of his red hair was bullied at school Thursday in an incident that appears to have been incited by a group on the social networking site Facebook.

The Facebook group declared Nov. 20 Canada-wide "Kick a Ginger Day" following a recent episode of the television cartoon South Park that poked fun at red-haired children, referring to them as "nasty" and "born with a disease."


A student with red hair at D.P. Todd Secondary School in Prince George was kicked in the legs and had to be sent home as a result, said Lyn Hall, chairman of the Prince George school board.


"It's absolutely ridiculous and disgusting that something like this would happen," he said.


"[What] I've been able to piece together was Kick a Ginger Day was a result of some type of a show ... that's how it all got started."


Hall said the school principal has identified the student who carried out the prank and is considering suspending the prankster.


"Anytime you have any type of bullying, you know, we don't differentiate between a joke and actual bullying," he said. "If you carry out this type of incident, we need to treat it very seriously, and we do."


Stirring up controversy and pushing buttons have been part of South Park since the satirical U.S. series debuted in 1997 and began chronicling the lives of foul-mouthed schoolchildren living in a fictional Colorado town.

haha
south park owns

Thats just crule no different from racism I agree with matt as in the kid being expelled

it wasn't just one kid it was a bunch of student's, so far they said 13 student's were suspended

this probably started off as a joke then some dumbasses took it too far...the creators are cool for it but the tards took it to far.

this is bull because sum of my m8s r ginger so y do ppl take piss outta gingers any1 can go up 2 sum 1 and summin like u gt shit on ur head ?? oh wait thts just ur hair it pissews me off

The thing is kids these days can't watch a single show on television and try to copy it. Its ridiculous. If kids all the way up to 13 and 14 years old could mature stuff like this wouldn't happen.
