Well, I think that as long as the kids can choose to go or not, it should be fine. I mean, I'm Jewish and I still go to Halloween dances and parties.  |

Well if they don't want to celebrate Halloween in schools, then they should get rid of Christmas, Easter and any other hoildays. I think that's so stupd, ya know? Of course schools should celebrate it. It's one of the best hoildays!!!  Even some churchs celebrate halloween.  |

In a way, coming from a student in school.. It should be up to the students.. if they want to dress up or not.. or celebrate Christmas or what ever holiday that comes up.. I do think it is okay for schools to celebrate Halloween.. if some one doesn't want to celebrate it fine be it  |

Most schools don't do Halloween anymore anyway... I asked Alycia if they had a party last year and she said "Oh yeah we got to do Halloween Math!" no costumes, no candy  |

I think they should. It's just for fun jeez! People need to lighten up. My son brought home a letter yesterday from his school saying that they were not allowed to wear or bring any Halloween-themed articles to school. I sort of expect this from the private christian school that my son goes to, but not from public school. We are still going trick-or-treating and dressing up at home.  |

The students need to band together and all wear costumes anyway. What will the administration do?  |

Halloween is not so bad compared to some of horrible festivals we celebrate in the UK. WE have this festival called national "Steal Wallets Day" where we sneak up behind each other and pick pocket. bob  |

We're not allowed to have Halloween partys either... so we have "Costume and Candy, non-holiday, just for fun" Partys. Oh yes, no Halloween theme at all, just random partys. LOL. It's crazy, but like my Science teacher says "Ya gotta please everyone, including those 3 people who veiw Halloween as 'evil'" *shrugs* The way the world works *sigh* Erin-  |

I dont get it....what is so evil about kids dressing up and getting candy? or carving pumpkins? I think that is they take Halloween out of the schools because of religous issues, then they should also take out Christmas, Easter and any other holiday.  |

I don't see any problem with celebrating Halloween. As long as its done in good fun and no one is trying to get these kids to worship the Devil. Nothing wrong with dressing up for little costume party. I can understand schools banning scary violent costumes though..  |
