While not quite how I would put it, I would agree with the sentiment here. Not a fan of home schooling either, unless there are very good circumstances to do so.
Although I went to a poor albeit very good country school.

The reason given by the principal was as follows:
Quote: "The costume parade is out of our ordinary routine and can be difficult for many students. Also, the parade is not inclusive of all the students and it is our goal each and every day to ensure all student's individual differences are respected."
Don't want to make too much about this because I really do not have a clue about what makes a Halloween parade non-inclusive and what 'inclusion' even looks like when you're basically excluding everyone. Also, it seems to me that when a kid wears the costume of his or her choice they are indeed expressing they individual differences. Maybe someone can explain this one to me.
Probably pressure by Christian groups, they seem to be the ones that see satan everywhere.
