Why? Because of complaints by fundamentalist Christian parents that 
Halloween is a pagan holiday that glorifies witches, ghosts and

Oh good grief!!!!  My family is about as Pagan and Wiccan as they come and not only are my boys going to dress up and go trick or treating, but I am planning on putting a t-shirt on one of my dogs and get out his skateboard and let him ride it through the neighborhood!!  Some people try to mean well but are too clueless.  Other people are too full of themselves.  It goes both ways.  Freedom of religion does not mean freedom so long as it is yours (or mine)!!!  The first two reasons I can buy (though I have been very very very broke and put one of my old dresses on my oldest son... I guess that explains a lot!!).  The last one goes too far!!!
