Halloween - What are you so afraid of Des Moines?
Des Moines Public Schools are having "Fall Parties" this week in classrooms around the city. Can anyone guess what occasion this might be centered upon? Hmmm, let me think. Hallweeen, perhaps? No costumes allowed though! Are we afraid of offending all the non-devil-worshippers by celebrating a demonic holiday? When in the last, oh I don't know, 50 years at least, has this holiday been about anything other than candy and playing dress up? Why are we trying to be politically correct about that? Has the whole world gone mad? Or just stupid?
