Orange and Black Day doesn't count.

so it's Halloween.. and my kindergarten aged child is not allowed to wear her Halloween costume to school.. why? "Because we have so many students who do not believe in Halloween (religious reasons) or who are not permitted to participate in Halloween, or who come from war torn countries." Umm.. so let me get this straight.. you're telling me that to protect the rights of new immigrants to MY community, you are taking away MY child's right to participate in OUR cultures holidays?! You've got to be shitting me. I was born and raised here, and so was my child, so what makes their rights take precedents over mine and my child's?  You don't celebrate Halloween, fine, don't. But don't take away someone else's right too. I understand the no guns / weapons thing. That's just common sense.. all costumes should correspond with the school's dress code.. but not allowing children to dress up at all? That's bullshit. And no, "Orange and Black Day" does not count.
