CT Schools Cancel Halloween Because it Offends Muslims

[Clementine]

Jehovah Witnesses and Christians have opposed Halloween for years. Churches have often chose to celebrate a different event on that day to discourage kids from dressing as witches and ghouls. Jehovah Witnesses go door to door objecting to many things.

Never has any school given in to the Christians JWs, but for some stupid reason, some are worried about offending Muslims. What the hell makes such an intolerant group so special?

Hey, Muslims, celebrating holidays, like Halloween and Christmas, have been traditions here. You don't like it? Suck it up or leave. I promise not to go to any Muslim countries and bitch about their customs if they can respect ours and quit acting like they are being hurt by seeing Christmas trees or kids dressed in costumes on Halloween. Just don't participate.

Most schools celebrate Cinco de Mayo for some odd reason. And kids are banned from wearing American patriotic t-shirts on that day. It's always Americans who bend over so they don't offend people. Screw it.

If kids don't like Halloween, then don't join the other kids having fun.

Parents say they got letters from the principals stating that since not everyone celebrates Halloween, it should not be celebrated. When asked by one of the parents who exactly wouldn’t celebrate it, one teacher said "Muslims and Jehovah’s Witnesses" as two potential groups that "might be" offended. Lori Montano says it’s taking political correctness too far.

who gives a shit?

i'm truly surprised you didn't try to blame this on common core standards.

Fine with me. If you want to do your Halloween thing out of school, then more power to you. This is a discussion I have at work. I think businesses that decorate and all that for Halloween risk alienating many customers. Obviously stores have a reasonable reason to do it, but if you are not selling crap for Halloween, then your business should avoid it.

Connecticut seems to do some very strange things now and then.

 

[ogibillm]

the actual news article does not mention muslims or jehovah's witnesses. and yet the quoted piece on the hack website the op links to places the reference inside the story done by the local news station.

does it get scummier than that?

This is what happens when you let in millions of savages. Your culture is replaced and shit on.

Muslims will behead you, bomb you or you kill you if you offend them, Jehovah's Witnesses won't.

Since when have Christians been against Halloween?

Lots of evangelical churches are. Check out some church signs, you'll see lots advertising parties on the 31st but very few will call it a Halloween party.

Not all of them, but they don't go around bitching about being offended and expecting people to change to suit them. Many churches over the years have held events on Halloween and called them Fall Festivals or similar things. There were no monster or ghost costumes. I like that they handle it that way. Instead of trying to shut down Halloween and the "grave images" that many are against, they just do their own thing.

Muslims should just do their own thing and shut the fuck up about other traditions.

You've not shown that muslims did anything regarding Halloween at these schools. The news article doesn't even mention mudlims, that was inserted by your hack website to appear as if yhe actual news station reported it. It's a pretty unethical practice, btw.

You're an idiot. Every church I have been to has a Halloween party of some sort. You're seeing shit that you hope exists but doesn't

Christmas has been gone in schools for a number of years. Send your kid to a private school. Have a Halloween party and don't invite muslims.

It's dark, or id run down the street and grab a picture of the two churches nearby that are having what I believe they are calling a fall festival. One might be a happyween. Not sure.

Frankly I think they're dumb, just call it what it is and wuit worrying about offending the church lady

 

[S.J.]

Ok, let's ban Halloween, Christmas, and Easter from our schools. Let's also ban Black History Month, Ramadan, Kwanza, Cinco De Mayo, Earth Day, and any other celebration that appeals to only one group of people. Ban all of them or none of them.

Muslims kill people when they don't like what you are doing. They don't put it up a sign and let others participate as they please.They kill them.

Muslims are horrible fucking people. What part of that don't you understand?

At the beginning of our nation - Halloween was against the law - not permitted to be celebrated as it was known to be a Pagan holiday that worshipped and sacrificed humans to Satan - actually kidnapping / murder / human sacrifice to Satan runs from October 15 - through November 15 as Satan is stretching out his holidays these days - his time is short now - still I find it amazing that it takes Islam to do something that should have been done a long time ago. I do not believe that Halloween has any place in America. It should be banned. This nation needs to turn to God - not Satan. Enough is enough.

I do not agree with Islam on their beliefs - I believe they are totally wrong but even a broken clock is right twice a day and this time they got it right. Cancelling Halloween was a good idea. No question about it.

I'm pretty sure it isn't the church lady they are worried about offending. You have a week, post up some pictures.

By all means. Do it.
