It's just so weird (to me), everyone seems to have forgotten that the entire concept of freedom means someone will probably do or say something that offends you during your day. I don't like some posters on Patnet and like others, welcome to life, welcome to the world. I dislike some politicians and like others, that's my right. Just because something is said or done that OFFENDS someone - well, welcome to life. If you don't like or recognize Kwanzaa or Birthdays or Christmas or Halloween - so, who cares. Take your little hurt self and sit in the corner and pout, but to make everyone else bow to your likes and dislikes - get over yourself.

If they would just give a trophy to all dissenters, this mess would quiet down...
Halloween is no longer an appropriate event to celebrate given the diversity of their student body and those at Seth Boyden who don’t wish to participate.

So 20% don't participate(guessing Muslims)-so the remaining 80% cannot enjoy this traditional American activity?? The school ahs the gall to say this is unity and not diversity? So if one child calls in sick, the whole school can call it sick?
I would guess this is a leftie loon school?
Move over Christmas and make room for Halloween in the bin of banned holidays.
Seth Boyden Elementary School in Maplewood, New Jersey, is the latest school to give Halloween the heave-ho, banning costumes and other Halloween related festivities on campus because not all of the school’s students and families like to recognize the haunted holiday, reports the Daily Caller.
The school has traditionally celebrated Halloween with a student parade, allowing the children to show off their costumes and enjoy the spooky fun of an Autumn tradition, but according to school administrators and some PTA members, Halloween is no longer an appropriate event to celebrate given the diversity of their student body and those at Seth Boyden who don’t wish to participate.
