School officials in Northboro, Massachusetts, sent a letter to parents this week stating they would be cancelling a traditional Halloween parade through school halls, WBZ reported.
Northboro has held a Halloween tradition for years that encouraged elementary school students to dress in their costumes and “parade” around the school, according to WBZ.
This year students will instead participate in a “fall-themed spirit day” to comply with the district’s “core values of equity and inclusion,” school leaders reportedly said in the letter. However, they didn’t specify how this would align with the equity and inclusion goal, the outlet reported.
“This event has always been inclusive for everybody,” one parent said, per the Boston Herald. “For some reason, we decided (to take) this step … I feel it suddenly became uninclusive.”
Comment:
Cancelling Halloween is not very inclusive.
And what is there to equitable about Halloween?
This looks more like far-left cultural intolerance.
