My town made national news

[Parts]

A Connecticut school district tried to gut Halloween. Then the horror began.

Halloween — unless one’s religion deems it satanic, sinful and worthy of godly condemnation — conjures images of carefree children dressed as witches, goblins, or Elsa from “Frozen,” skipping down sidewalks amid the rustle of fall leaves, rushing to the next house where, if luck holds, a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup instead of a packet of dried-out raisins awaits.

But, in Milford, Conn., Halloween now has another association: a PC, PR catastrophe.

Last week, elementary schools in the city of 52,000 that tried to limit celebration of the holiday to protect those who might not wish to participate faced accusations that they were trying to ban Halloween. As a result, they’ve walked the restrictions back — under protest.

What wonderful things we make the news for

They succeeded here...about 6 years ago.

My SIL was one of the JW's pushing to get the Halloween parties stopped.

Now they have the more politically correct "fall celebrations" with healthy treats.

Unfortunately I wasn't a resident of the school district at the time...I could have rode my broom in protest and pelted her ass with candy corn.
