The poster I responded to said Halloween is only an event. One that could be moved to another day. I looked it up and saw that going around in disguises and getting something to eat, had to be done on a certain day or the meaning is lost. Then it does become an event. Your last sentence is what I believe is behind getting rid of Hallowe’en in this school. I looked at the School board minutes and found that they are studying racial equality and how the school can make it easier for minorities to do better in school. This school area has less than 25% minorities.
Doesn't the term minority imply small subset(s) that don't belong to the majority?
