Stupid Decisions Made By Local School Districts

The Puyallup School District has decided to ban all Halloween costumes and parties from its 31 schools this year. The District said that parties took away from learning time and the costumes could offend people who practice the Wiccan religion, you can read the full article here.

Are they serious, next thing you know they will wall up the windows because the outside world is taking away from "The Learning Time", how about you get better textbooks, get rid of the drug problems and the bullies or stop getting rid of school programs to cut money. I mean seriously have you every seen any work place that didn't throw a social event once or twice during work hours. I seriously doubt it, why because relaxed workers are more productive then stressed out one. So why do we expect our children not to need the same.

Now stop freaking worrying about offending people, everything can offend someone if you look and try hard enough. Better get rid of all the holidays, stop serving meat, no more computers, destroy all pictures, books, music and NO MORE SCHOOL MASCOTS! Because it will offends other schools.

If this trend keeps on I think will are going to fuck up our kids. Because children are being told 2 totally different ways to do things in life. The first being that you should be I workaholic robot without emotion or distraction, the second being that you should be over emotional and take everything personal.

Here is a little experiment to try: throw stick and then tell your dog to fetch and then sit at the same time (IT AIN'T GOING TO HAPPEN, so again why would you expect children to do the same.)

I know, that is so embarrasing that it happened in our state. I practice Wicca (occasionally) too. I LOVE Halloween and would never do that to kids. SHEESH

Yes, lets get together for some research.
