DIRTY SECRET! They are also taking everything this country stands for..........from everyone.
Don't fret, they will still vote democrat because their parents did. They was(sic) educated in a public school and can't read or comprehend what is happening to the USA..........
I’m damn tired of our culture getting gutted by the two percenters!
Muslims
Gays
Athiests
etc
RUMORS? It was a done deal, they’ve backed off on it and have looked at adding ramadan (not to be confused with the ISLAMIC holiday of Ramadan).
At ramadan children dress as porky pig and play pin the tail on the donkey. It will become a new American tradition totally unrelated to any religious culture’s holy days.
Some aspects of Halloween are good. Others are sick.
Come costumes are good and fun for kids. The candy and parties are good and fun for kids.
The fixation on death, skeletons, ghosts is sick. The slash “Freddie” movies and TV shows are sick. The fake graves on some peoples’ front lawns are sick. The bloody gruesome costumes are sick.
Not all aspects of American popular culture are good and worth saving.
It’s our fault for emphasizing the sick aspects of this yearly celebration. It’s too late to turn it into a purely fun, healthy thing.
Christmas is coming. THAT needs to be defended from the onslaught by the head-chopping savages and the atheistic left.
Gee, I’m surprised that there is consternation from so many.
Usually, around Halloween we’re inundated with missives about how it is the font of evil, it draws people to Satanism, promotes the Wiccan religion, and on, and on, and on.
I guess it’s about whose and which ox is being gorged?
We have let groups like Muslims take over our culture...we get what we deserve......glad to hear at least SOME parents are mad.
Seems pretty obvious to me that this stuff is not about being inoffensive or inclusive. It's about crushing Christianity and western traditions. Very simple.
The school school encourage classroom discussions during ramadan about why islam’s prophet mouhammad “married” a 9-year-old and whether that was appropriate, safe or moral.
Just like the Jesuits used to do. "When in the minority, ask for equality. When in the majority, demand primacy!"
It's ok to have halloween if it offends Christians but not if it offends muslims.
There’s a relatively simple solution to this; you could follow our family’s lead and boycott all of the secular holidays and by secular I mean the secularized Happy Holiday’s crap; celebrate Epiphany instead. If your a Christian refuse to buy gifts, boycott the stores; emphasise gift giving on Birthdays instead; substitute a “Christian” Holy Day for the secularized “Holidays”. Don’t exchange their stinking “Happy Holidays” non-christian greeting cards. We only exchange Christian Christmas cards with fellow Christians. Freeze ‘em out; boycott their stores!
You know, I never thought about this before. Do they actually make their small kids fast for Ramadan too? Pretty cruel on its face without sending them to school where all their friends are eating.
My son's high school serves fish every Friday during Lent.
My oldest daughter attended kindergarten at a school which still did celebrate Halloween and Christmas and Thanksgiving, etc. One of her classmates was a Jehovah's Witness, and he sat out every holiday party. There was no fuss...his mother simply came to school and sat with him during the parties.
I believe there are simple ways of solving these problems without fuss.
As I note above, the Imam around the world denounce these traditions (even the spirit of Thanksgiving) BECAUSE it is tied to America.
“At issue is whether Halloween and Christmas celebrations are insensitive to school children who are Muslim.”
If that school in anway support anything Muslims the parents needs to sue for supporting a religion. I am tired of having to set aside American culture for this foreign cult of Islam.

That says it all. If the Muzzies don't like what their kids are being exposed to in public school let them do like many other parents have done and send their kids to private parochial schools. I'm sure in a madrassa their kids will learn all the important things like intolerance of other beliefs, antisemitism, hatred of all things Western and jihad.
What about the Christians and the Jewish kids? Don't they count for anything, or is it just the Muslim kids feelings that are important?
