Seattle School Cancels Halloween Because of ‘Equity’ and Stuff – By Jeff Charles (Red State) / Oct 13 2021
The hard left ruins everything. They ruin comedy. They ruin sports. And now, they are ruining Halloween.
An elementary school in Seattle recently announced it was canceling Halloween because of concerns regarding equity and inclusion. Seattle Public Schools justified this decision by claiming black males do not celebrate the holiday, and that students of color, in general, are marginalized by the celebration.
Conservative commentator Jason Rantz reported:
Benjamin Franklin Day Elementary (B.F. Day) in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood typically hosts Halloween festivities each year. They include a “Pumpkin Parade” where students wear costumes if they choose. But the school administration changed its focus to “foundational beliefs around equity for our students and families,” and, consequently, they’re canceling Halloween.
