Get Lost, Goblins! Hallowe’en Ban in US Schools – More Grovelling!

Lazy few days here, no visitors due till the weekend, and no parties at all this week! Oh dear!

• So I was having a look at the local events pages on the internet to see what’s happening in Jakarta and was reminded that there are a lot of Hallowe’en party nights coming up, all over town.

This is a 90% Muslim city with an 8% Christian minority and some Buddhists and Hindus, and nobody seems to mind the spooky fun – except Islamist fanatics like Amidhan, an MUI notable we have mentioned all too often on our blog.

• Islamist ‘Scholars’ – “Don’t Complain if You’re Attacked!”

The top man with the MUI’s self-styled ‘scholars’ made clear his intolerance when he said “Don’t join in the celebrations. It’s not our culture…”    http://www.nahimunkar.com/mui-muslim-jangan-rayakan-halloween/

Hmmm..ain’t that the dread phenomenon that pinkos call ‘xenophobia?’

But in fact, spooky stuff, domestic or foreign, is immensely popular here, witness the Haunted House shows that migrate around the capital’s malls.

  Blok M Beware! New Mummy Scare! Starts Tomorrow! 

  When I worked some years ago near Blok M, in South Jakarta, my colleagues and I took a trawl through one of those, much to the amusement of the hundreds of locals milling around waiting to buy their tickets.

Like most children around the world, Indonesian kids delight in fright – there are all kinds of horrors here, unique to this amazing archipelago. Young (and many older) Jakarta residents will enjoy the scary make-believe events.

They all know it’s make-believe, so why not?

Sadly, it’s a different story in Milford, Connecticut, where the school board has banned Hallowe’en, to avoid offending uptights.

...a letter was sent home to parents last week letting them know that the school district’s annual Halloween parades are being called off, due to “numerous incidents of children being excluded from activities due to religion, cultural beliefs, etc.”

• For pity’s sakes!
• It’s not compulsory to join in, but it’s an annual American fun-fest, and most kids love it. If some don’t, or are ordered not to participate in the fun by sectarian parents, why should all the rest be thus penalised? 

Not only is the parade going, but all signs of Halloween are being prohibited. Students won’t be allowed to wear costumes to class, class activities cannot have a Halloween theme, and giving out food is “not an option.”

How pathetic!

What infantile administrators these Milford minions must be!

Hallowe’en is a hugely popular festival in the USA, more so than in the UK, whence it migrated to the Americas a long time ago. I went to school in both hemispheres and while we did ‘do’ Hallowe’en in Britain, in Canada it was a much bigger thing, same as in the United States.

And now, because people migrate there from countries without such a tradition, some arrogant immigrants expect the authorities to pander to them?

When in Rome, bud!
