From the politically correct crowd that sought to ban snowballs from playgrounds and replace Merry Christmas with Happy Holidays, a new target has been found in Halloween. A Toronto school board released a memo to its principals this week stating that Halloween celebrations could be disrespectful to some children, notably Wiccans. Money quote:

"Many recently arrived students in our schools share absolutely none of the background cultural knowledge that is necessary to view 'trick or treating,' the commercialization of death, the Christian sexist demonization of pagan religious beliefs, as 'fun,' "

Well there you have it. Some genius figured out that Halloween isn’t really a pagan tradition but a “Christian sexist demonization of pagan religious beliefs”. The question of course is, what’s next of the agenda of our cultural relativists. The Easter Bunny? Santa Claus himself?
