by
Sara Bernard
Yes. Halloween is a harmless holiday whose drawbacks are easily addressed; children from families that don't celebrate it should be excused from the festivities.
No. Not everyone celebrates Halloween. An alternative to the traditional celebration, such as a seasonal festival, will take care to include all students and address issues of safety, attire, and health.
None of the above. (Click on Vote, then click on Comment on the results page to offer another response.)
