Parents start petition to bring Halloween celebrations back to Massachusetts school district

TAYLOR KNIGHT:

CANCEL CULTURE IS COMING FOR YOUR CANDY. 

HALLOWEEN HAS BEEN CALLED-OFF FOR ONE MASSACHUSETTS SCHOOL DISTRICT AND IT’S GOT SOME PEOPLE ASKING WHAT’S THE HARM IN THE HOLIDAY?

IT’S NO TRICK. HALLOWEEN CELEBRATIONS HAVE BEEN CANCELED AT ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN MELROSE.

THE DECISION IS NOT SITTING WELL WITH SOME – ONE PARENT CREATED AN ONLINE PETITION ENTITLED “KEEP HALLOWEEN FOR OUR KIDS” THAT HAS ALREADY GARNERED MORE THAN 2,000 SIGNATURES. ACCORDING TO THE SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT THE CHANGE WAS MADE TO ACCOMMODATE ALL WHO DO NOT CELEBRATE. 

PARENTS ARE NOW QUESTIONING WHETHER ITS A MOVE THAT GOES TOO FAR. 

ONE TWITTER USER WRITING ‘SICK OF SCHOOLS AND PLACES CANCELING THINGS IN THE NAME OF “INCLUSIVITY” #STOPCANCELINGCHILDHOOD . 

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT SCHOOLS NOT CELEBRATING HALLOWEEN?

LET US KNOW IN THE COMMENTS BELOW.
