Being from Massachusetts I find these public displays of emotion rather vulgar...yet... strangely..provocative ::)

    This is borderline outrageous. I feel like my mom saying this... but things were so much simpler when I was in elementary school... We celebrated Halloween, St. Pats, Hannukah, Christmas, Easter, May Day, Groundhog day, Valentines Day etc... ALL of them. It was fun. It still is. I think trying to pass the buck to the Wiccans was rich. Perhaps it was in good faith, but I suspect it was just an excuse. I have an idea. Let kids go dressed up if they want, and just don't devote any class time to it. Let them do their thing at lunch, and give them an orange coloured treat.

I remember Halloween time in school. We watched cartoons, and safety videos. We all dressed up and teacher gave us candy and read us stories. In middle school we had big dances every year... it was awesome.

Modern Halloween is an American tradition, and it's great for the economy. We spend something like 9 billion annually on Halloween. Starting this sh** now will only serve to turn kids off from Halloween today, so that in the future, they just won't bother. That is probably their goal. If your kids attend a non-halloween school, keep 'em home, and let them have fun. They deserve it.

Sheesh you think its bad now?  Imagine if Mrs. Clinton ever becomes President.  Welcome to the liberals' world.

As ElDuderino points out, there are plenty of Christian fundamentalists who would love to ban Halloween. 

When I was a kid these issues never came up.  We had a little Halloween party with some orange-frosted devil's foodcake and other treats.  Some kids wore costumes, others didn't.  No pressure either way. 

As far as the "occult" went, we never thought of the familiar figures of Halloween as anything more than spooky figments of the imagination.

It seems certain Wiccans and certain Christians have no sense of fun regarding old myths of ghosts, witches, goblins, and vampires.  They take it all too seriously.  That's the problem with fanatics.  They take things too seriously.

The biggest controversies in my town were all the kids egging, TP-ing, shaving-creaming people's property...boy, that was fun!  There were also the years in which the town John Birchers successfully lobbied against trick-or-treating for UNICEF.  I smell a rat, a big commie rat!

Maybe Halloween culture has changed since my youth.  The idea that anyone was too poor to afford a costume was unheard of.  The best costumes were always homemade, and you could go as anything.  Heck, if you had an old sheet you could cut a few holes in it and go as a ghost.

Hats off to that school district.

I know of the discrimination and religious persecution that they are trying to avoid by cancelling Haloween.

You see, I worship Ground Hogs and consider them as the highest and most sacred form of life on earth.

Yet every year, they are defiled by the barbaric and archaic "Ground Hog Day" celebration.

The offense is unbearable.

Actually Ground Hog's Day is another Wiccan holiday only it is called Imbolc or Candlemas. Like Halloween, it is the half way point between the Solstice and the Equanox. It is a celebration of the coming of spring.

What in the name of all that is holy does Hillary have to do with this?

PS, love the little dancing man.  Puts me in mind of Lil' Georgie dancing to Cheney's tune.

"Not everyone is from Boston, John"  as Franklin said to Adams in 1776  ;)

And he would know, being from Boston ;)

That's like worshipping a squirrel. Squirrels are evil. At least the ones in Washington DC are. :P

I am going to assume this is sarcasm....

And Don Carlos, I liked your comments about my avatar, I really did.  But when I read them I had already dumped the dancing man.  Oh well, he had been there a long time, and his dance was getting annoying.

You can read that any number of ways....
