Seattle Area School District Bans Halloween Celebrations

The superintendent of the Puyallup School District has banned Halloween celebrations on school time for three reasons.

  • Halloween parties and parades waste valuable classroom time.
  • Some families can’t afford costumes.
  • Halloween celebrations and children dressed in Halloween costumes might be offensive to real witches.

Some parents have expressed concern over the third reason and cite it as an example of political correctness gone too far. Read this KOMO story for more of the details on both sites of the issue.
