When Nanaimo [Vancouver Island] high school student Aaron Mishkin appeared for classes Thursday, he heard his classmates talking about “kick-a-ginger day.”
It was the first the 13-year-old redhead had heard about the online phenomenon, and initially he thought nothing of it.
“But then I left the class, and we have seven minutes to get to the next class, and I was amazed by the amount of people that kicked me along the way,” said Mishkin.
Over the course of the day, Mishkin figures he was kicked or hit about 80 times, all because of a Facebook group, apparently inspired by an episode of the satirical cartoon South Park that urged members to “kick a ginger” on Nov. 20.
In Sooke, west of Victoria, more than 20 students at Journey Middle School were suspended after shocked teachers received complaints they were kicking redheads

Re: Kick a ginger kid day
from the same page:
Nearly 5,000 people joined the online campaign which urged members to ‘get them steel toes ready’ for a day of booting this week.
“The website appears to have been inspired by a recent episode of the cartoon South Park, in which a young character called Cartman describes people with red hair as evil and soulless.
“Dozens of children left messages on the page claiming to have carried out attacks on ‘National Kick a Ginger Day’ on Thursday, and a girl in Alberta, Canada claimed that she and her 13-year-old sister were punched and kicked by pupils at their school.”
The site in question is, Yup, Facebook.
And the story is isn’t even in a Canadian newspaper.
It’s in Britain’s The Telegraph, which points out November 20 was a Canada-wide Kick a Ginger Day thanks to the South Park episode which ridicules red-headed children “Ginger kids. Children with red hair, light skin and freckles.”
