Trick-or-treatless in Seattle

Halloween might not be everyone’s favorite holiday, which is exactly why it’s racist, according to a Seattle school district.

This year, Benjamin Franklin Day Elementary School announced that its annual Halloween parade would be canceled due to concerns that it would “marginalize students of color who do not celebrate the holiday.” Not everyone celebrates Halloween by dressing up in costumes or trick-or-treating, the school’s “Racial Equity Team” said, and the school doesn’t want to seem noninclusive.
