Jesus Halloween Costume Leads To Illinois Teen’s Removal From Classroom - naijaswap

An Illinois high school student was reportedly pulled from the classroom on Thursday over his Halloween costume: Jesus Christ.
Angenetta Frison, the mother of Highland Park High School senior Marshon Sanders, told the Chicago Sun-Times her son was kicked out of class because some teachers found the student’s costume – consisting of a white robe, red sash, a white head scarf, a crown of thorns and a cross necklace — to be offensive.
According to the Chicago Tribune, the teen has been allowed to return to class and wear it once again after school officials confirmed he did not mean any disrespect with the costume. They had initially believed the costume could offend “religious sensibilities.”

Earlier Thursday, Sanders was forced to remove his costume before returning to the classroom at the Highland Park, Ill. school, his mother told ABC Chicago.
Highland Park is located about 20 miles north of Chicago.
The incident is not the first time a student has been removed from school for dressing as the religious figure for Halloween, In 2008, an eighth grader in New Jersey was sent home from school over his Jesus costume.

FG Lied About Releasing N100bn To Universities – ASUU

The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has alleged that none of the universities had received any money from the N100bn the Federal government claimed to have disbursed to 59 public universities to improve infrastructure.
Speaking yesterday, after leading members of the branch on a peaceful march around Makurdi town in protest of the lingering Federal Government/ASUU impasse, Chairman of the Federal University of Agriculture Makurdi branch of ASUU, Dr. Celestine Aguoru, said: “As we are talking today, government has not released one kobo out of the N100 billion they claimed they have given the universities; this goes to show the level of insincerity of the government.
“The truth is that government is paying lip service to the development of education in this country and has therefore resorted to playing politics with the education sector and the future of our children.
“It is rather unfortunate that majority of those who are leading us today went to school in their time on scholarships, but today they do not want our children to benefit from that same gesture, all because of greed.
“Today we are faced with a situation where the amount Nigerians spend yearly to educate their children in Ghana is far more than the yearly budgetary allocation to the education sector.
