Isn't this ban only in public schools? We screwed those up decades ago but its good to see a City Mayor have priorities in order, ya know. As opposed to the whole reading, writing and actually showing up to class stuff.

Halloween is probably one of the first good experiences with using imagination for kids. Remember making your first costume? School and Halloween parties started shit for me. In the 4th grade I dressed up as a "zombie". Torn pants, great half mask half make up. Out teacher gave out costume ribbons of all types. Scariest, most creative, historical etc etc. My ribbon was "most hysterical costume" Not exactly what I was going for . The next year I dressed as "Burglar". Boots, levis, camo jacket and the topper was a pull down ski mask worn as a hat. On the way to school I was stopped by two cop cars after someone reported me as suspicious and advised to leave the ski mask in the principles office for my ol man to pick up. No ribbon that year
