chool officials said students in past years have been excluded from participating because of religion and cultural beliefs.
“We believe school day activities must be inclusive for all students and we must be sensitive in regards to holidays and celebrations of religious, cultural or secular nature,” DeLoreto wrote. “Please know classroom celebrations will continue to take place however, they will be Fall themed, not Halloween.”

I'm not surprised.
Some commit crimes with guns, ban all guns.
Some say offensive things, censor speech.
Some don't wear costumes, ban all costumes.
Reminds me of the analogy of the leftist vegan that doesn't want ANYONE to eat meat.

Horsesh*t. Since when have the public schools cared about religious views? They are supposed to keep it out of schools, remember? I don't understand why everyone has to suffer because a few don't wish to participate. The solution would be to give those kids that day off instead. Win Win.

It was fun, for sure; but trick or treating was where it was at! It's also not such a long standing tradition that I personally feel very strongly about it. My parents didn't have Halloween related school activities, neither did theirs.
We can all still celebrate Halloween however we like.

Why is this viewed as a liberal thing? The only religious people I've met that are outspoken against Halloween are Christians.
