Too Scary to be President

There are things scarier than goblins, and ghosts. Now according to schools in Illinois Presidents of the United States are “inappropriate” for kids 8 to 10 years old.

West Elementary School in north suburban Glencoe in Illinois has banned political figures from being Halloween outfits.

Now, when you say – “inappropriate”—does that mean ‘disrespectful to the people it depicts’, or does it ‘expose children to issues they normally wouldn’t be knowledgeable of’.

I really don’t think a mask of Bush or Nixon would be that disruptive, unnerving maybe, but not enough to ban any sort of political facial wear on Halloween.

If given a choice I would think the school would choose a mask of Bush over a sexy French Maid outfit.
