What Halloween is now is so much different than whatever evilness it had in the past. It'd be like banning Volkswagen Beetles because Hitler had a hand in creating them. Yeah, some kid dressing up as Shrek is a big point for Satan.
Okay, from the CNN link: "Schools that want to have Halloween parties are welcome to have them, she said, but only after the school day ends.
Other U.S. schools have banned Halloween festivities because some families don't celebrate it for religious reasons and other cannot afford costumes."
Well, I guess after school is better than not at all.
I still can't understand ruining everyone's fun due to a few people's religion. If some kid with religiously weird parents has to sit in his desk in his regular clothes and watch the 95% of kids having a blast, he can take solace in the fact that the heathens in pagan costumes will eventually pay the eternal price for their sinfulness, and knowing that tastes much better than a little bag of M&Ms. Wow, that's the meanest thing I've ever written.
Okay, gotta feel bad for the kids who can't afford costumes. Or should I say, the kids who can't afford costumes in addition to having NO IMAGINATION. C'mon, the best costumes are homemade. The best costume I ever saw in school was a robot. A big box and foil and paper buttons and wires. That costume probably cost less than $1.25. And it rocked.
