Schoolboard Cancels Halloween, Upsets Wiccan
PC run amok.
School officials there have designated “no Halloween, costume-free zones” to stop kids from coming to school in costume. They say ugly witch costumes, with their pointy hats and crooked noses, are insensitive to real-life practicing Wiccans.
A real-life witch who lives in nearby Tacoma agreed that the superintendent in Puyallup must be off his broomstick.
“I see Halloween more as a holiday, a fun time for them. Some of us Wiccan have a deeper meaning under it, but I don’t think we should take away from the kids,” Wiccan Marjenna Gittings said.
Unfortunately, a similar thing happened at my kid’s school where the principal – who has appeared in this journal before (see Crushing of Dissent – 2nd Grade)- decided to cancel the Halloween Parade, for fear of offending some in “our diverse community”. So instead she pisses off “most” in “our diverse community”. I’m too busy to fight this one, but dang!
