[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do find the aversion and censoring of Halloween in MCPS elementary schools to be very odd. Getting to dress up for the day and having Halloween classroom parties was a fantastic experience for me as a kid.[/quote] It’s extremely weird. Halloween is a big part of American culture and it’s a fun part of childhood. It’s sad that MCPS is taking that away from kids. [/quote] I challenge the premise that it is. The MCPS I'm aware of are having full-on HALLOWEEN parties. There are alternative activities for the freaks and losers that don't observe it. But those kids don't get to ruin things for the majority. I know of no place where fall festivals or whatever are substituting for Halloween parties. That sounds like a trope along the lines of "everyone gets a trophy," which is not really a thing, either, despite the fist-shaking, get-off-my-lawn curmudgeons who have weird hallucinations about things that aren't happening.[/quote]
