1. Seems like an overreaction for sure.
Religious in nature. Not unlike Christmas, Easter, etc. All of which have migrated from their religious nature to young kids.
Wait, you think kids dressing up as Groot and college girls going out as slutty zombies is religious?
Pagan in nature. An anti-christian holiday originally if anything.
Halloween is all about getting as much candy as possible and your kid either eating it til he pukes or you waiting until he goes to bed so you can raid his stash, I don't think there's much more to it than that.
Because said belief system is obviously the only correct one? And Halloween has to do with the Devil, and candy is sin!
Point being, most if these belief systems aren't particularly tolerant, not least of kids "just" having fun

Pretty sure George Washington established the first Thanksgiving, but it was many decades later before Thanksgiving was made a permanent national holiday when Lincoln established it as a permanent holiday in 1863. It was not absorbed by Christians. In fact, it has been de-Christianized (I know, not a word). It was supposed to be a day of giving thanks to the almighty for taking care of America prior to the revolution and delivering the nation and its people independence. Lincoln declared it a yearly holiday and had this as part of the proclimation:
Seems we have strayed a bit from that original intent considering Thanksgiving is now about a parade, football and turkey.
And it's only going to get worse. This is the sort of thing that tells me that eventually there will be a call to have Washington and Jefferson stripped from currency because they owned slaves. It sounds nuts, but we are just keep seeing more and more of this crazy stuff happening.
GB this principal. This is the way it SHOULD be.
We still allow Halloween dressing up in high school but the no mask rule and limited make-up holds. That isn't about being PC. It's about safety. We don't want people who can't be identified in the building. Also I am surprised they still do it just because of the train wreck it causes for the office dealing with the girl's "costumes".
High school I totally understand, as with one in college and the other in HS, I'm amazed at some of the attire I saw just on a normal day. Makes some of the slutty Halloween costumes seem mild.
