NO. Neither would any other country. If you don't like the holidays, don't celebrate, but dont expect the schools and the rest of the public places to 'hide' just to satisfy your religious beliefs. Halloween is a world-wide holiday.

I think that there is a lot wrong in our society today with people getting touchy about Halloween. There are a lot of extremists who prefer that their children don't celebrate Halloween because it is the "Devil's" holiday. Funny thing, is that Halloween was create in celebrating of the banishment of evil demons from human society. This kind of close mindedness branched out to thinks like "Harry Potter", and the "Golden Compass". Christians and especially Catholics very adamantly shun these movies first claiming that the whole Harry Potter thing is of the occult and is evil (which is down right idiotic to me), and that the Golden Compass is reeking with anti-Christian teachings. They think that these movies are created with the sole purpose to lead children away from their religions. Let me tell you something, if you are having THAT hard of a time holding your children to the religion you hold so dear, then maybe THAT is the problem your looking at, not a movie that is trying to make money. Your religion should be able to hold its own without boycotting certain media, or are you all that weak and scared that your religion might get some kind of irrefutable argument tagged onto it?
