School districts are worried about 'potential violent messages' if students dress up as characters from 'Squid Game'

around the world this year. A few elementary schools in New York state, however, don’t want students donning the show’s track suits and white sneakers on its campuses.

School staff at Fayetteville-Manlius School District elementary schools in Manlius, N.Y., near Syracuse, recently noticed some students mimicking games from the thriller during recess, said Superintendent Craig Tice. When it came time for elementary-school principals to send around the usual reminders about inappropriate Halloween costumes — such as those with weapons or toy guns, or outfits deemed too gory — “Squid Game”-inspired ensembles joined that list.

“Because of this activity, our principals wanted to make sure our families are aware that it would be inappropriate for any student to wear to school a Halloween costume from this show because of the potential violent messages aligned with the costume,” Dr. Tice said.after making its debut on the streaming platform Sept. 17, becoming the No. 1 program in 94 countries.

The show’s depiction of children’s games perhaps creates a challenge for elementary schools and parents. The premise takes a more violent turn at the end of the first episode, when the game “red light, green light” ends in a bloodied mess as the losers are killed.

Thats alright gonna learn im right have grow up in GOP households...where CHILD MOLESTERS, PEDO PROTECTING, RAPING & GROPING are permissible. I reckon children may not listen to adults but they sure do Emulate im.

'School staff [] recently noticed some students mimicking games from the thriller during recess....' If only someone would investigate where the creators of Squid Game got their ideas, we might yet save the children.

Should even the freedom to wear clothes be taken away by capitalists?

Let them dress up in scream masks as God intended
