No problem with banning halloween from schools. Just ban all the other religious mumbo jumbo as well.

 

If the kids or their families want to celebrate halloween, christmas, nirvatri or eid outside school, thats fine but it doesn't have a place in educational institutions unless it is on the ciriculum.

I have been to numerous wiccan "festivals" and have yet to be shown anything that is even in-line with the original practices of the wiccan people to many "pretenders" for my liking.

Now you've got me interested! How do you *know* what were original Wiccan practices when the Book of Shadows, which claimed to show what these were, has been proven to be a modern piece of fiction?

Sorry this is b*llsh#t. Going to school should not be just an academic experience. School should have cultural and social aspects too.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

Fine, that's why it should be on the cirriculum. But schools are no place for religious indoctrination - especially when that (christian) indoctrination takes the form of condemnation of one of the most important pagan festivals of the year.

Halloween was invented by the Egg Marketing Board. Nobody had heard of it when I was a kid and it just seems to be an excuse for little thugs to terrorise old people in their homes.

Mind you, I'd love to see Christmas banned as well.

I said this last year and I'll repeat it now, Halloween is not an American invention.

 

When I was a kid growing up in Aberdeen, Scotland, before any of us had ever seen an American TV show or movie, we used to dress up, make lanterns from turnips and knock on neighbour's doors for treats (there was no 'trick' part). We also had Halloween parties for the kids.

 

Halloween crossed the Atlantic with all the Scots immigrants and then returned to England via American video and TV, it is a new phenomenon for English kids.

That explains it then Ian.

I first noticed Halloween when I moved to Aberdeen :)

Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be.
