My kids' school will not allow the kids to dress up for Halloween or have a party because they say it is a religious holiday and they don't want to offend anyone else's religious beliefs. They also will not allow xmas parties anymore for the same reason. This pisses me off! They want to keep religion out of the school to keep from offending anyone, but they force our kids to say "one nation under god" in the pledge of allegiance?!?!?! What kind of double standard bullshit is that? I'm agnostic. It offends me for them to make my kids say that, but I'm not crying at the school to make them take it out.
When I was in school, we got to dress up and have a party at Halloween. We had xmas parties too. It was fun. It makes me sad that my kids don't get to do those things anymore because of these crazy religious fanatics.
