#1 "Hansen says the superintendent made the decision for three primary reasons. First, Halloween parties and parades waste valuable classroom time. In addition some families can't afford costumes.

It's the third reason some Puyallup parents are struggling with.

The district says Halloween celebrations and children dressed in Halloween costumes might be offensive to real witches."

LOL! Know many, do you?

Seattle, it's like a whole 'nuther country, lol!

#3 "God made the idiot for practice...
.. then he made he school board'

- Mark Twain

(I think I got that right.)

What does 'witches' (people who made a pact with satan) as protrayed during halloween have to do with 'wiccans' (Pagans)?

#7 This ranks right up there with the ACLU fighting any christmas displays on public property even if no public funds are expended. The Wiccans are free to practice their faith as they chose. I am just getting sick and tired of having to be solicitous to every body elses feelings. If they are that thin skinned maybe they should seek help
