Thirteen high school students in Calgary have been suspended after a red-headed teen was beaten because of the colour of his hair.

The Grade 10 boy was attacked in the locker room of St. Francis High School after gym class Thursday, students told CBC News.

The attacks came on a day promoted by a Facebook group as Kick a Ginger Day. The Facebook group urged members to kick people with red hair — referred to as ginger kids — on Nov. 20.

Hardly funny... I'm surprised something like that would be tolerated on facebook.

you see the joke could be considered funny... but what's not funny is that people are so absolutely dim****tedly dumb that they'll actually go out and do it

Red hair is an indicator of a gene which gives people a much higher pain tolerance so kicking a ginger isn't too bad since they were built to take it.

So what?

The crime is in kicking someone not in joking about it.

true... however, since we're both aware that people are bloody stupid, perhaps it's wise not to encourage that stupidity, out of a sense of kindness and responsibility?

“It does appear that redheads have a significantly different pain threshold and require less anaesthetic to block out certain pains,” Professor Ian Jackson of the Medical Research Council’s Human Genetics Unit, said.
