  1. 🤣🤣🤣it’s funny how people are offended about simple things what’s next people getting offended over Christmas trees

  2. Thanksgiving and Christmas is next

  3. Snowflakes and cancel culture are ruining our culture. After Halloween, they'll go after Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hannukah, and Independence Day….

  4. What is with the obsession with Halloween? We can dress up in costumes WHENEVER, eat candy WHENEVER, but Halloween is not just about that the whole thing is based on fear, spookiness, death… and I can not wrap my head around WHY we celebrate that? And why we want kids to celebrate that? What is the obsession? Birthdays I get you’re celebrating life, thanksgiving you’re being thankful, Christmas you’re celebrating joy, family, giving and receiving gifts.. but Halloween serial killer movies, skeletons, spiders?

    What is the appeal? Don’t we have enough death doom and gloom everyday? Don’t we live in enough fear in this country everyday? What is the obsession? Cosplay is awesome, candy is cool, but we all know that’s not what “spooky season” is about..

    The whole thing is about fear and why we push fear so hard on our children is beyond me..

  5. Dems love their fear porn.

  6. Obama is right, socialists are a freaking buzz kill

  7. I think all the parents should keep the kids out of school for Halloween and have their own Halloween party elsewhere for the kids. Maybe that would send a message to the school if they have no children to teach I think they would notice that.

  8. So many of the comments here are just silly. Nobody is saying or trying to cancel Halloween completely. The schools are basically just saying wait until after school to put on your costumes and start your celebrations. There's no reason kids need to be in their costumes all day long and/or at school since Halloween is literally a night time celebration not an all day one.

  9. I'm glad Halloween is cancelled.

  10. Pennsylvania schools teach canceling to be proper methods of promoting inclusion. That coming from a State where open drug use, chronic homelessness and zombie like behavior are acceptable examples of societal norms.

  11. STUPID! They should leave Halloween alone! 🎃

  12. wish Halloween was more respected and celebrated more..

  13. Too much fear-mongering by the mainstream media is the real problem. The only significant danger at Halloween events is the traffic and that can easily be managed with the proper guidance.

  14. It's fucking modern day america you think that canceling Halloween will make a difference? That's bullshit

  15. I would like to unscrew these people's heads and have a look on what the hell is going on inside…What a crock of pumpkin pie!

    More and more, I think people that make these kind of decisions should be banned or cancelled..

  16. Do we start canceling Christmas because Asians and Muslins don’t celebrate?

  17. When do spooky masks start killing people

  18. Others might differ, but I am glad schools are canceling these celebrations. #ihatehalloween #halloweensucks #yay #thanks #wahooo

  19. Your schools celebrated Halloween??????

  20. What is ironic is that I grew up in the most Christian rural town ever back in the 60's, and this town went all out for Halloween. We children loved it. The final night was a costume contest in the heart of downtown. Everyone participated. It's too bad that crazy paranoia has ruined this event for children.

  21. HOW IN THE WORLD DOES ONE SECURITY INCIDENT justify cancelling everything???
    Now INCLUSIVITY? IS this a fckin massive joke???

  22. Time to call in fake school shooting alerts.

  23. I am so so SO grateful I grew up before all of this woke nonsense.
