Tice explained that district principals typically remind families about the guidelines for Halloween every October, adding that"no items that can be interpreted as weapons should be brought to school, such as toy swords or guns, and that costumes should not be too gory or scary so as not to scare our younger students."
Another New York school district, White Plains Public Schools, has not decided to prohibit"Squid Game"-inspired costumes. Superintendent Joseph Ricca told TODAY that banning any one type of costume"can become a true challenge." "Many of the time-honored costumes that children choose often have historical popular culture connections that transcend the holiday," he explained."We often think of pirates as a fairly common Halloween costumes — typically no concern there. However, historically and today, pirates are criminal outlaws — a role we certainly do not want our children aspiring to."
Ricca emphasized that each school district needs to approach costume guidelines in a manner that makes sense for its unique community. "I understand and respect that all communities are different and, as such, some may choose to limit the types styles of costumes children can wear," Ricca said."In the White Plains City School District we do not allow over-the-head masks, overly gory, patently offensive or inappropriate costumes. These guidelines have served us well and keep our children safe as they celebrate the spirit of the holiday.
Good. It’s a terrible message
Why are kids watching this show in the first place?!
