> NEEDHAM, Mass. — > An elementary school has decided to cancel Halloween events, saying the holiday is not inclusive and can be awkward for some children.
>The principal of Mitchell Elementary School in Needham announced the change Thursday in a letter to families.
>“For many years Mitchell has celebrated Halloween with class parties and a parade of students in costume. However, Halloween is a holiday that not all families celebrate and -- for a variety of reasons -- some Mitchell families keep their children home from school on that day,” Principal Gregory Bayse wrote, adding one teacher said there was “awkwardness planning a class celebration knowing that not all of her students would be able to participate.”
>NEEDHAM (CBS) – Needham’s Mitchell Elementary School has canceled their Halloween festivities, and it’s no trick.
>Traditionally, Halloween at Mitchell has been celebrated with class parties and a parade of kids in costumes. But some families who don’t celebrate kept their kids home. This year, teachers told the principal it felt awkward planning something not everyone would enjoy.
>“I recognize that this decision will be disappointing to some who may feel like Mitchell is changing. I would agree that this represents a change, but I believe that in the long-term any change towards including all children is a positive change that will benefit our students and our community.”
>In its place, the first annual William Mitchell Day will celebrate the school community and autumn on November 9.
Replacing Halloween with a made up holiday that celebrates community.
I am fairly liberal myself and even I think that is some Marxist bullshit right there.

Halloween is pagan bullshit

>Cancelling Halloween.
They're not celebrating Samhain, or the equinox, or trying to fend off scary ghouls...kids celebrate Halloween for Candy. That's the only reason.
GUARANTEED the parent of a nut allergy kid started this tirade. What a joke.

As far as I'm concerned, a school has every right to decide what they do and don't celebrate while at s chool. As long as they're not pushing mudslime holidays and shit like that, I don't see any harm. It's not like those same kids aren't going out trick or treating later that night.
Jordan Morris
Yeah, this is bullshit. >because a few people can't or won't participate, we have to stop doing this thing that everyone else enjoys that fosters a sense of community Postmodern bullshit. Destroying the existing culture and traditions is a primary goal of the post modern movement. The "it makes some people uncomfortable" and "it doesn't include everyone" are the excuses. Notice they don't have a problem with making people uncomfortable when it comes to issues like transgender bathroom rights. Because that helps them tear down existing culture.
William Lee
Meanwhile Spanish and Polish kids demand halloween in their schools just because they think it's a fun thing.
that girl's a legit actual clown right? I wonder how many little boys whose birthday parties she's done are going to grow up to have clown fetishes now

Hilarious, just hilarious. Let it fall. Let. It. Fall.

The holiday was originally meant to protect you from the spirits roaming the earth during that brief period when the mortal-spirit world barriers weakened. Don't remember any "inclusiveness" in the holiday

Diversity is a good thing they said. Multiculturalism is a good thing they said.

Not really Marxist considering the scale and abstractness. It's pure liberal political correctness.

Well, hell then, cancel school.
Chase Bell
Is this because poor kids with no costume, or because Jews want to bitch about inclusion?
Probably both.
Samuel Price

Yes now all the kids get to stay at home and have no party Progressive is so good

I'd actually support a suspension on Halloween for maybe just a year or two if for whatever fucks might take advantage of a day to mask up en masse and use the opportunity to shit things up in the name of political outrage undetected. I don't trust the atmosphere right now. No, we can't.

a local sheriff went power mad and started hanging women and taking their land until the state Attorney General told him to knock it off or they would come kill him, not arrest and prosecute him, murder him

Niggers love Halloween. An official day dedicated to going into white neighborhoods and getting free stuff without even having to break a window.
Jose Nelson
Should be celebrating All Saints day on Nov 1st, not this pagan satanic horseshit
Jordan Rodriguez
The Teal Pumpkin Project is the latest assault on our Celtic heritage.

I always thought it was "Wickety-Wack! Into my sack!" and that it was three devils, or the devil depending on the story.
>true but it was weird and fucked up to celebrate the Salem witch trials to begin with Uh. You know Halloween isn't to celebrate the witch trials?
Living around Salem, you got plenty of people who use it as a hook, sure. Yet here and other communities it's just a holiday. It started in England anyway and came to America over a century after the trials.
Plus, in Salem, there are plenty of crazy Wiccans who make mad dough which they think of as reparations. You know, even though none of those hanged were actually pagan or Wiccan.

And there won't be any awkwardness with all the students knowing that one of the funnest days of the year has been kicked out of their school because of a handful of their peers' faggy, pussy parents?
Jonathan Cox
Me, brother, and 2 others dress up in military gear and escort my brother's son around with a riot shield and Nerf guns while tactically moving him up to the door, provide 360 degree cover, get the candy, then hastily extract him to the next house. Shit's fun as fuck.
Aaron Morales
>let's change our culture to accommodate immigrants instead of forcing them to immigrate >political correctness >not cultural Marxism Nice bait. If you actually believe this then you should consider reading a book.
Lincoln Reed
Every kid is clearly going to be fine with not celebrating like they did all the other years. Kids have a progressive bias towards accepting everyone's differences! It's Trump and his white supremacy who is the problem, not this political correctness. Halloween is a symbol of white supremacy and must be torn down just like Columbus Day
Nathaniel Harris
It never ends at the school though. It starts there and then they expand their power into your life. Also, it's guilting the kids into thinking Halloween is bad. Training them to instinctively feel shame for anything about their society.
Jose Turner

Caleb Ortiz
>Every kid is clearly going to be fine with not celebrating
It's not about kids being "fine", it's about kids being kids instead of being tools used by unhappy adults to prove some pint of "social justice" or some other bullshit.
The treatment of children and allowing them to BE children should be the Canary in the Coalmine of society.
Connor Nguyen
I was of course being sarcastic. The South Park pic is of the recent episode where the kids start rioting when they cancel Columbus Day.
Charles Thomas

Halloween is a combination of Christian (All Souls Day), European (Celtic traditions, legends), and American (Trick or Treating, promoting diabetes) traditions. If you don't like Halloween, you don't like Western culture.
Cameron Richardson
>some people weren't joining in >since one person wouldn't come and have fun we decided no one could have fun >fuck you for having fun
fuck liberals.
Ryder Martin
It's just more hypocrisy. I could see if they were more consistent, like >terrorists masquerade as refugees >ruin it for everyone >no more refugees but they use one example to ruin things for EVERYONE only when it's silly and it suits them.
