It sounds like we have imbeciles and idiots running our public schools today.
some kids look like they have Halloween costumes on all year
We should not encourage children to participate in a satanic celebration.
I went to school in the 60s. We never had Halloween costumes or parties at school. We were too busy being miserable with the multiplication tables.
Kids who can’t afford a costume can dress up as hobos.
They are worried about those that can’t afford to buy a costume.
Who buys costumes for young kids?
We always made our own-——not always great but they worked.

“We want to be inclusive of all families including those families who don’t celebrate Halloween......”

Using that logic, there will be no holiday celebrations or observances since not everyone observes every holiday.
At least they won’t be collecting for UNICEF.
Free Halloween costumes for every child! It is a Right!
As my kids have said, “Poor people mess everything up”. Let me explain: there use to be field trips. Wonderful field trips to battlefields, aquariums, and historic sites. No more. Why? Because the PTA couldn’t afford to give “scholarships” to the poor kids. If school X had a field trip then all the other schools in the county had to have a similar one (therefore, the “middle class” schools couldn’t go because the ratchet schools couldn’t afford it). Thus, this district’s school is now eliminating an event that all the kids looked forward to because some parents are too lazy to make one or purchase a used one.
I am not a big fan of halloween,
But I despise political correctness more!
Bring on the hobgoblins!
or find purchasing a costume a hardship,”
What nonsense! I remember my first Halloween in 1953! All I had was a fake mustache. Mom cut wrapped and pinned a white sheet around me, and dad let me put on his oversized Stetson hat. Just went to one or two houses, but had a great time.
How dare they distract people with the distraction of wearing costumes from their fall festival...?
I don’t even know what a fall festival is - or a fall festival parade? Is that some tradition in Wisconsin?
How about this: How about the school drops all the silly mini festivals and parades and does that thing - not sure what it’s called anymore. It’s what supposed to happen during that time from when the kid arrives at school and when they leave..
EDUCATION, that’s the word I was searching for. And when they’re done with their school day where they study and learn they can go home and do whatever their family chooses to do.
Gee our school went to “ story book day” so the kids could have fun dressing up
Some classes made their own costumes to tie into their reading lessons
What a shame pious uncreative adults are intimidated by snowflakes
Could be they can’t ban it for religious reasons so they have to find some other reason?
They’re afraid some smart-ass kid will dress up as Trump.
If some kids cant afford a costume, then the teachers can, over the next year, just assemble bits and pieces of costumes, and have the kids just make something up from a big box of miscellaneous stuff.
A crown here, fake nose there. A cape and a clown wig. The kids wont care. They likely will find it more fun.
Sounds like the clowns are running the show at most schools anyway.
It’s a circus and Halloween all year round.
Wanna know how to get hem back? Tell them “Thank you for supporting Christian Faith by banning this pagan ritual”. Then claim credit for its removal in the name of Christianity. Even if they don’t bring it back you will have loads of fun watching the fireworks from the left...
