Another Halloween Ban
Kohl Elementary School in Broomfield, Colorado can join the list of places where Halloween has been banned. In its place will be a vapid fall festival, to which crestfallen kids will not be allowed to wear costumes. Parents were not consulted.
The pretexts for this outrage add insult to injury. People are asked to believe that Halloween isn't fair, because some can't afford costumes; that it might make someone uncomfortable, because not everyone celebrates Halloween; and that costume accessories like rubber knives are dangerous.
Since 9/11, when totalitarian moonbats try to eradicate an aspect of American culture by decree, it usually has something to do with pandering to Muslims. Presumably they're the ones who might be uncomfortable — as in suburban Chicago.
As for the vast majority of Americans who are uncomfortable because their own culture is being banned by politically correct petty dictators — we'll just have to suffer.
On a tip from The Paperboy.

Did you see this one, Van?
I can appreciate the ADA, but come on, closing a place for kids?

Wait, haven't some extra-fundamentalist Christian groups been campaigning for years for Halloween to be banned to due its pagan, witchcrafty and devil-influenced nature? How did it suddenly come to pass all of a sudden? A Batman-dressed kid asked for despicable, non-halal jelly babies from a diabetic ACLU-card-carrying Muslim?

I must have blinked and missed it, but can someone please tell me when Colorado turned into California.

Woah, slow down, Steve! Too much coffie? (Wink)
Yes Scott, they did, but most everybody just rolled their eyes at them and groaned. It did take the MOOSELIMBS to shut down our favorite holidays.
In the Kim Possible cartoon, her pet geek was trick or treating ON-LINE! Wearing a costume, Wade would visit friends sites via web-cam and they would send him a gift card for candy by e-mail.
Soon this may be reality and the only way to preserve Halloween.

Hell-0-ween is a "fall festival" holiday anyway. Its roots are strictly pagan no matter how anyone tries to dress it up as a "all hallowed day" for saints observation or as some kiddie fest. I for one couldn't care less what they do on that day.
However, Oct 31 is traditionally known for Martin Luther's posting of the 95 theses, i.e. "Reformation day" (490 yrs. ago this year). That's what I'll celebrate.

All-Saints Day is November first.
But the "Halloween" we celbrate today is pretty much an American holiday that began in the Southern states with partys, fortune-telling, games, pranks and fancy dress/costumes. In New England, it was often a somber, subdued occasion.

I guess it's no more giving out Chick Tracts with the candy bars then... Especially that one about the moon god!

Btw, updated 'for Black audiences'... But the updates pretty much sum up what's going on in today's dhimmicratic world. Too bad they didn't include anything about exactly WHO it was that plundered African villages to capture the slaves that the evil West used on plantations... Or that the Arabic word for Negro is the same as for slave.
