Liberals forcing schools to rename “Halloween” to “Fall Festival”

HippiePelosi.JPGLiberals have forced many schools to replace the word “Halloween” with “Fall Festival” because of “negative connotations” some see in the long-standing holiday name. However, when polled by Rasmussen, 66% of adults do not think it’s a good idea to change the name and only 19% think the same should be changed. Also from the poll, 72% of adults say public schools should allow children to wear costumes to class in celebration of the holiday. Only 18% feel children should leave their costumes at home.

Sixty-nine percent (69%) of all adults feel that children should be allowed to bring candy to school for Halloween. Twenty-three percent (23%) disagree.

However, the real fun of Halloween begins once school lets out and the sun sets. Children travel in packs from one house to the next in search of a thrill – and the best candy – and to see who can collect the most goodies. Sixty-three percent (63%) of adults plan on giving out Halloween candy this year, but 28% don’t plan to have any candy on hand even if they hear the words “Trick or Treat.”

Adults with children at home (70%) are more inclined to hand out candy than adults without children living with them (57%). Adults ages 30 to 49 are more likely to give out Halloween candy this year than any other age groups.

Compared to other years, 29% say Halloween costumes will be more fun this year, while 16% say they will be more risqué. Thirteen percent (13%) believe costumes this year will be more grotesque, and seven percent (7%) expect them to be more “politically inappropriate.” Twenty-eight percent (28%) have no opinion because they say they haven’t seen any costumes yet.
