Not This Year, My Pretty!

In an attempt to avoid offending witches, School District Bans Halloween: "A Puyallup School District internal email dating from October 2000 warns that 'the Wiccan religion is a bona fide religion under the law, and its followers are entitled to all the protections afforded more mainstream religions. Building administrators should not tolerate such inappropriate stereotyping (images such as Witches on flying brooms, stirring cauldrons, casting spells, or with long noses and pointed hats) and instead address them as you would hurtful stereotypes of any other minority.'"

How many people think this is taking political correctness WAY too far? Raise your hands.

(thanks, fark)
