Seattle Elementary School Bans Halloween Costumes
A Seattle school has banned students from celebrating a new holiday this year: Halloween.
Lafayette Elementary School has decided to not allow students to dress up in costume for Halloween this year. And there is still some discrepancy between parents and the administration as to why the ban has been implemented this fall.
The decision was first reported by the district (Seattle Public Schools) as being a preventative measure in the event that Halloween costumes could offend and upset students who come from other cultures. Dozens of parents complained to the school over the measure demanding a detailed explanation.
Get over yourselves -- this Nation is a melting pot and School is the place where they should be taught this. Once you start "respecting" everyone's culture, you start dividing people into us and them and the Nation becomes weaker as a result. So what are they doing?
�I was just really sad and I had to fight back tears,� fourth-grader Leilani Nitkey told KCPQ-TV.
CBS affiliate KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reports the school announced it will be hosting a �Harvest Party� in lieu of a costume party.
Where are the adults in this world? Every person in a position of power over someone else has gone from the academic world right into their line of work. They have zero real-world experience.
Reminds me of something I wrote in a post
from March 13, 2009:
The writer Robert Anson Heinlein once said the following:
�A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects�
I have personally done sixteen of the twenty one, not just know how to do it but I have done it. How about you?
And I am now up to seventeen out of that list.
