Wiccans Offended by Halloween

Halloween banned - to save witches' feelings

US schools have banned Halloween because officials are worried about offending real witches.

Students who turn up in costume could be sent home from schools in Puyallup School District in Washington state.

Officials told a local TV station that followers of the Wiccan religion had complained about the way Halloween was celebrated.

Spokeswoman Karen Hansen said: "School officials have been reviewing the Halloween tradition and decided that time could be better spent.

"Schools are teaching students to be respectful and take account of the discomfort felt by others. Witches with pointy noses are not respective symbols of the Wiccan religion."

The authority was also concerned that Halloween wasted valuable class time and that the costumes were too expensive for many families.


This just in -- Wiccans are puss-bags.

"Real Witches" classifying those three kids who light candles behind the lockers and carry around 40 dollar books with unpronouncable titles.

[FS]

Oh my God. That is fucking insane. That's changing-classic-literature-to-avoid-offending-kids-who-are-allergic-to-peanuts insane.

For fuck's sake, someone set fire to all these people. Indiscriminately.

[AChimp]

Yeah. >:

They're witches, after all.

[Spectre X]

I am trying but the power of my mind alone is not enough. >:

[Emu]

You need more scented candles!

[Zap Rowsdower]

Next, Easter will be banned because it is offending to real rabbits.

the bible belt is upset its on sunday this year, so some are celebrating on saturday instead, if at all

some people don't like fun

[FS]

It's all fun and games until someone gets offended.

Seriously, that should be like the US motto now or something. On... the presidential seal. I guess.

[the_dudefather]

wiccan kids deverse to be burned at the stake or something

send the witchsmeller after them

"BLODDY MILK!"

[Anonymous]

since when does this country care about anyone but christians?

[McMock]

Oh wow. Nobody has the guts to stand up to the wiccans and say: "crazy wiccan bitches, you are all genuinely out of your minds". There are no real men left!

[kahljorn]

Isn't the day before holloween the actual evil day? Good ol stupid christians.

[executioneer]

that's bullshit, where is a quote from a wiccan saying they're offended :rolleyes

[executioneer]

more like officials are worried about offending rabid Christians but want to blame some other group :rolleyes

[Perndog]

Note: they were Wiccan community members, not Wiccan parents or children. You think a little kid calling her(him)self a witch and meaning it would survive in a public elementary school?

And... costumes were too expensive for many families

:lol

[Burger Lord]

What the fuck? are they afraid the "real" witches will put curses on them if they pretend on Halloween? So does that mean we won't have thanksgiving because it offends fat poeple? St. Patricks day because of the Irish?

[ArrowX]

lol

I just want to see a fucking Wiccan trying to cast some faggy spell on me. I'd puch him/her in the face then scream flippendo while kicking them in the troat.

[executioneer]

why, do you think they actually can cast spells? :lol

[sadie]

that's not a respective comment!

[ziggytrix]

LIGHTNING BOLT!

[Sethomas]

Yeah Perndog poor people are funny lol

And kahl, if you mean the real holiday, it's the day after Halloween. DÃ*a de los Muertos, if you will. I don't know what's actually considered evil.

[DamnthatDavid]

I was told that Halloween was created by the Protastants to mock the Catholics.

[davinxtk]

David, you're so wrong you spelled Protestant incorrectly.

And fucking Christ, school can do away with Halloween when every single kid who says "you're a fag" or "that's gay" buys themself a three-day suspension. Political correctness doesn't lead to a happier world, it leads to widespread hypocrisy and further reason for the homo with the pentagram to get his ass kicked after school.

It's one thing to actively hate on people because they're Wiccan.
It's quite another thing to dress up as a witch for Halloween.

What's next, are they going to cancel winter vacation because it never fully aligns with Chanukah? I mean, Kwanzaa's covered, so we don't have to worry about those people, but greedy jews are bound to start complaining sooner or later.
:rolleyes

[Emu]

What about the Muslims who take the whole month off? [i]HUH[i/]?

[Perndog]

Yeah Perndog poor people are funny lol

Leave it to the self-proclaimed intellectual to not figure out that anyone who can't afford to buy a costume from a store can probably still make a much better one more cheaply at home, thus making lack of money an awfully stupid reason for any child to miss out on Halloween.

And if the issue of poverty concerns you, maybe you should take that money you're planning to spend on a new bong or a bottle of absinthe and, I dunno, give it to someone who needs it?

[The One and Only...]

You could always dress up like a beggar and ask for food stamps.

[Drev]

Our college can't celebrate Chanukah because it offends Nazis. :tear
