No Halloween for the Politically Correct

The Toronto school board worries that some children will traumatized by Halloween

Many recently arrived students in our schools share absolutely none of the background cultural knowledge that is necessary to view 'trick or treating,' the commercialization of death, the Christian sexist demonization of pagan religious beliefs, as 'fun,' "

They say, "Halloween is a religious day of significance for Wiccans and therefore should be treated respectfully."

Instead of eating sweets in class, they suggest writing health warnings for all Halloween candies.

I pity those poor kids in Toronto schools being deprived of what should be a great day for kids and instead having to write why candy is bad.
Are these people nuts?

UPDATE: Halloween is booming in Europe and some Europeans don't like it. They see Halloween as an "unnecessary, bad American custom" that undermines their cultural identity.
