Burlington School District officials are canceling Halloween celebrations in the classroom in addition to a parade at Edmunds Elementary School.
quote:
This year, It started with an email from a parent and ended with school staff voting to cancel the Halloween parade at Edmunds Elementary School in Burlington.
They say the decision was made from both a safety perspective as well as concerns that the celebrations couldn't be inclusive. "For example, many people are made uncomfortable by the notion that you change your identity, you turn into someone else and those somebody else's could represent cultural appropriations," said the district's Miriam Ehtesham-Cating
quote:
In addition to the possibility of cultural appropriation, they cite families who are financially insecure and the fact that costumes can represent death and gore.
"It's not that we are teaching Halloween is a bad thing, it's that we are reflecting in our practices that we believe every celebration held in schools should be fully inclusive... there's a huge difference," said Ehtesham-Cating.

Way to prepare students for the future. News flash, being uncomfortable is part of life and learning to handle being uncomfortable is a valuable skill.

They have a great point here. Trannies need to stop appropriating the other sex. Hopefully Burlington will crack down on this epidemic of men appropriating the female body for their own benefit and vice versa. Stop appropriation! Spread awareness of the tranny menace.

I bet this idiotic board never thought about asking the kids how they felt about it. After all, it's about them. I guess this same board will be cancelling out any Christmas themed events in a couple of months.

Her last name is hyphenated so you know she's a massive see-you-nt. (edit: Why is that word censored?)
Also she's not white. She's appropriating my race by presenting as white when she's not! When will this appropriation end? Ow god the inhumanity
