An elementary school in Washington state canceled its annual Halloween parade for 2021 after its faculty determined that the event "marginalizes students of color who do not celebrate the holiday," according to a statement from the school.
The decision of the Racial Equity Team at Benjamin Franklin Day Elementary School was the product of five years of discussion, the school district said.
"There are numerous community and neighborhood events where students and families who wish to can celebrate Halloween," a Seattle Public Schools spokeswoman said in the statement. "Historically, the Pumpkin Parade marginalizes students of color who do not celebrate the holiday. Specifically, these students have requested to be isolated on campus while the event took place."
TRUMP COSTUMES FALL OUT OF FASHION THIS HALLOWEEN
The decision had everything to do with protecting students of color and nothing to do with the pandemic, the statement read.
"In alliance with SPS's unwavering commitment to students of color, specifically African American males, the staff is committed to supplanting the Pumpkin Parade with more inclusive and educational opportunities during the school day," it said.
Halloween is a complicated issue for schools across the country, Benjamin Franklin Day Elementary School Principal Stanley Jaskot said.
"Yes, I agree this event marginalized our students of color. Several of our students historically opted for an alternate activity in the library while the pumpkin parade took place," Jaskot said. "This was an isolating situation and not consistent with our values of being an inclusive and safe place for all our students – especially students of color and those with a sensitivity to all the noise and excitement of the parade."
Parents were made aware of the decision on Oct. 8, and they were instructed not to allow their children to wear costumes to school, according to the report.
Costume parties may be uncomfortable for those students whose families are unable to afford a costume for them, and the noises that resonate from such events make some children upset, according to the newsletter sent to parents.

Instead of costume parties, students at the elementary school will partake in "inclusive" events, including "thematic units of study about the fall" and examining "autumnal artwork," the newsletter said.

1981: We need to stop Halloween celebrations because they're satanic.
2021: We need to stop Halloween celebrations because they're racist.

That's the extent of societal progress in the US over the last 40 years.

Im pretty sure this is a nigger hollyday... It should be outlawed and the irish should be beaten up in the streets for this.

This would be more shocking were it not in Washington.

Looks like Mad TV predicted it.

I'd normally try to lead off with "Name one student of color that doesn't celebrate Halloween." But then I remembered that Seattle is getting the diversity hard, so there probably are those who don't, so now everyone needs to eat shit. In any other time in the history of the USA, this would be an exercise is peer pressure and social ostracism. "Well, we could have the Pumpkin Parade, but little Jamal had to go shoot up the candy store. Everybody say 'Thank you Jamal.'"

I've been black all of my life in a blue state. I've never seen any black children not celebrate Halloween or being "too poor to afford a costume."

Isn't it amazing how EVERY SINGLE DIVERSITY POLICY hinges on the fact that black people are either poor, stupid, or incapable?

I'd go as a KKK grand wizard just to watch their stupid shitlib heads explode.

Reminds me of this classic.

My crystal ball is saying this is some Hotep shit.

Stay at home. Problem solved.

That's what I did as a kid, even got to watch movies and play videogames with my dad at home instead.

Pretty sure this is the fault of Jehovah Witnesses.

Agree, I don't know why they just don't say that. They better cancel every holiday and birthdays, too. It's like they truly do want a racial divide.

"Hey kids, you are going to do learning activities instead of going to a parade and eating candy. Why? Because we think all black kids will be offended. It's their fault."

Grew up in a poor school. Black kids want candy too. A lot of them are going to be pissed lol. Whoever’s parents are responsible just made their kid enemy # 1 with all the other students. Good job you idiot.

Pretty sure this is the fault of Jehovah Witnesses.

It could be a black JW or migrant that was smart and played the race card or more likely a white SJW making presumptions about minorities without ever talking to one. I could see an African migrant making a hissy fit about this but I knew even black Muslims born in the US that loved all the candy and horror stuff.

To be honest the only holiday I knew of that caused negative feelings was Christmas and that was because some parents were poor so couldn’t get squat. Some parents were just assholes aka white trash, ghetto trash, etc. and couldn’t lift a finger to get their kids even dollar store crap while spending all their money on themselves.

In contrast with Halloween all you need is a costume which is relatively cheap to buy or make. Hell some teens don’t even try to wear a costume and go to get the candy. It’s a great holiday for poor kids because even if you have shitty parents they are ok with letting you go out for the night to get free candy. The only people who hated Halloween were the kids of Karens who were salty at everyone else having fun while they couldn’t have any sugar.

Black people love Halloween more than anyone else, I can't even count how many videos I've seen of them shoveling entire bowls of candy into backpacks.

They love free shit

I don’t get this at ALL. Before we lived in an actual gated community, every single Halloween Escalades full of black kids would come into our neighborhood and hit all the houses. This is the first time I have ever heard that somehow, black people are anti-Halloween.

Anyway, drama club on suicide watch, Halloween is Theatre Kid Christmas.

Could always dress up as a Spanish penitent instead.

You can't appropriate culture from whites if whites have no culture. *taps head*
