[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people are under the misapprehension that halloween has religious connotations. It simply doesn't. And if you call it a fall festival, then it's not halloween. The Jewish holiday of Purim entails costumes and treats...and nobody confuses it with halloween. Dirty little secret: [b]the real reason it is banned at some schools is because a clique of moms with eating disorders strong armed the principal into doing away with it[b] [/b](too much sugar, not healthy, isn't it offensive to people who don't celebrate it?). [/quote] That might be the case at some of the down county schools, but we're at a Focus School in Silver Spring, and I really don't think that was it. There has been no Halloween celebration since we started at the school, several years ago. [/quote]
