Parents and Children have been protesting outside the home of a school principal after she banned Halloween celebrations because of their pagan origins. There will be no ghosts, witches and pumpkins this year at the school in South Elgin, Illanois Illinois (slapped wrist from teacher, see comments), USA.
We are baffled - Christmas is banned because it’s too Christian and Halloween is banned because it’s too pagan. Come on, let’s just have a bit of harmless fun every now and then!
In the meantime, we suggest that the somebody puts a magic spell on the principal so that she lightens up a little and relents.

Before you criticize the schools, you could learn to spell Illinois properly.
Headteacher in Illinois by chance Steve? Come on, lighten up (at a safe distance of course, and always with adult supervision
……and in the Engerlish language, it’s criticise with an s, not a z! Oh, the irony!
Thanks Chesta for support on the subject of Illanois /Illinois… I have to admit that our spelling is not above reproach, but we do our best to get things right.
Halloween isn’t right: children are more unconsciously led into paganism which is very wrong..
