This is not a move for COVID safety, Benjamin Franklin Elementary said. No. Instead. the Halloween Celebration marginalizes people of color.
"Following five years of deliberation about the future of the school’s annual pumpkin parade, Benjamin Franklin Elementary School has decided to nix the holiday tradition this year on the advice of the school’s Racial Equity Team (The Daily Wire)."
"The spokesperson says other Seattle schools have also canceled Halloween festivities recently. She claims Black students, particularly males, do not celebrate the secular holiday. The decision was meant to protect them from feeling marginalized."
"'Historically, the Pumpkin Parade marginalizes students of color who do not celebrate the holiday,' the spokesperson claimed. 'Specifically, these students have requested to be isolated on campus while the event took place. In alliance with SPS’s unwavering commitment to students of color, specifically African American males, the staff is committed to supplanting the Pumpkin Parade with more inclusive and educational opportunities during the school day' (MyNorthwest)."

Effing the ineffable - Washington State elections sometimes have been rigged.
