I love it when political correctness completely misses the point. I'm all for Halloween, personally. I don't understand where these people are coming from with the ban Halloween agenda. Any thoughts, OSA community.

I only thought people went crazy if Halloween fell on a Sunday.

How can a whole town ban a holiday?

Ah. The Multicultural religion monster strikes again:

In Portland, Ore., principal Brian Anderson told parents he banned Halloween because he worried that students whose culture or religion didn’t allow them to celebrate would feel excluded from the others, especially as more and more immigrants with different cultures arrive in this country.

Is halloween really any different than Easter?

On Easter you dress kids up in pretty lil dresses and suits instead of costumes. You give them a basket instead of a bag. You send em to church instead of scouring the neighborhood. You do this during the day instead of the dark. You get colored eggs, chocolate eggs, chocolate rabbits, plastic eggs filled with candy, marshmello peeps, and lotsa jelly beans.

Yet knobody cries foul on easter. I wonder why?
