Why don’t these administrators have any faith in their pupils or their parents?" They have no faith in the pupils and parents because parenting these days is seriously going down the drain. Look at the little kids costumes in the stores, they sell little girl versions of sexy Leg Avenue costumes, and little boys parents would likely buy them the scariest thing they saw. a lot of it is probably "kids parenting kids" Kids ARE growing up too quickly, and NOT in a good, mature, way. But going after Halloween doesn't fix anything.

(The school board felt it was disrespectful to the handful of Jehovah Witnesses in our school.) If we wanted to celebrate Halloween at school that day we could only do so by wearing orange and black.
