Holidays being cancelled, statues destroyed, men in girls bathroom, drag shows in elementary schools. BANNING HALLOWEEN? I found this article in a "Woke" Falmouth newspaper. The story begins with a controversial email that went out on October 1, 2022 to a staff digest and included the following message: “Falmouth Public Schools does not celebrate Halloween. Halloween costumes, decorations, and parties do not have a place in our schools, for the reason that Halloween is a non-inclusive holiday with religious origins. There will be a number of opportunities for celebration, decorations, and special dress days over the course of the year. Please support all of our families and colleagues by being consistent and modeling inclusivity on our campus. If you can and it’s appropriate, have a conversation with students beforehand.” When the Maine Wire first inquired about the rumored ban on Halloween, Superintendent Gretchen McNulty (she/her/hers) replied in no uncertain terms: “We absolutely have no policy along the lines of what you indicate.” Yet parents in the community were adamant that emails had circulated around Halloween 2022 advising teachers against embracing the typically fun-filled holiday. In response to a public records request seeking emails that contained the anti-Halloween language, the Maine Wire received dozens of documents that show McNulty’s Shermanesque denial of the policy didn’t exactly tell the whole story. Those emails show that a directive prohibiting the celebration was indeed sent around to Falmouth school staff after weeks of formulation. Then, when parents found out about it and began contacting board members and administrators, McNulty quickly began to spin an alternative explanation. What’s more, the emails show that banning Halloween isn’t the only crackpot progressive scheme to which the public school administrators have subjected young public school students. THE EQUITY MEETING In an October 12 email, Falmouth Childcare Director Julia Chace wrote: “Below are some notes from an equity meeting that Chelsea shared with me explaining why Falmouth no longer celebrates Halloween.” (emphasis added) That email contains an articulation of the Halloween prohibition. And it’s detailed. Chace writes that students who nonetheless dress up for Halloween will be sent to the office — but only if the costume “is cultural appropriation or offensive…” So a Power Rangers costume wouldn’t be a problem, but a Ninja might cross the line. A Disney princess would be okay, but not Mulan or Pocahontas — unless the child is Native American or Chinese. Chace’s email also ominously notes: “Christmas needs to be addressed early … and Thanksgiving for the future.” “Addressed” in this case is a euphemism meaning prohibited. “Falmouth Public Schools does not celebrate Halloween. Halloween costumes, decorations, and parties do not have a place in our schools, for the reason that Halloween is a non-inclusive holiday with religious origins. There will be a number of opportunities for celebration, decorations, and special dress days over the course of the year.
