ALL students in grades 4-8 are encouraged to dress up on Monday 10/31 however the costumes must adhere to the following guidelines:
-Masks are not permitted to be worn at any time
-Students are not permitted to carry accessories with their costumes
-Costumes cannot depict any form of violence, blood, or bodily injury
-Costumes cannot be offensive to other students or ethnic groups
I get the guidelines...but what's the point of dressing up if you can't be a zombie, a vampire, or anything else that is "violent or bloody"?? And how the hell do you standardize what's offensive and what's not?? What if groups are offended by soldiers?? Now you can't dress up as a GI Joe!!
So who decides what's allowed and what's not?? How do I become part of that committee?? This year Halloween will suck at any type of school!! Always worried about offending instead of expressing!!! Get with it people!!! Make it the way it's supposed to be...FUN!!!
