[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m with you on Halloween. One parent in our school had a crusade against it and now kids can’t do anything associated with the holiday. She said it was the devils holiday and only little satanists celebrate. I was shocked when she said it to my face. She was a Catholic from another country, but I’m Catholic American and I love it.

Can’t we get the satanists to come out and say they want respect for their holiday? And they too should be included? [b]I really want Halloween back.[/b] Why aren’t they a religion too? [/quote]

Halloween hasn't gone anywhere, so what do you mean by "I really want Halloween back"? [b]You want your child's class to have a Halloween party during the school day?[/b][/quote]

Yes. And the schools used to do a Halloween parade where the kids dressed in costumes used to march around the school. It was fun. Bring it back.[/quote]

Ours still does this!  In Baltimore county public.  I think they technically call it "dress like your favorite book character" but the kids just wear their halloween costumes, and its on halloween, and everyone calls it the halloween party except for the official school email which calls it a fall celebration.

Our school calls it "Fall Festival." Just ridiculous....[/quote]

Ours no longer allows class parties for Halloween even if rebranded “fall festival” parties.[/quote]
