You won't see little ghouls and goblins running around one Massachusetts elementary school this Halloween.

The Boston Herald reports that the principal has banned costumes.

The reason?

The school superintendent says Halloween is quote "problematic" for some families due to its connections to witchcraft.

It's not the only holiday on the chopping block.

The school's principal is telling teachers to be careful about celebrating Thanksgiving in their class activities.

All of this comes on the heels of her attack on Columbus Day when she told teachers they could no longer quote: "ignore the atrocities that Christopher Columbus committed against the indigenous peoples."

They were just scared someone would dress like John Lackey and bring up bad memories.

Everyone wear a Theo Epstein costume and freak out John Henry...

...but this is coming from the same state that burned women they thought were witches, right?

I'd send my kid to school in a costume then let him/her enjoy the vacation they would get

It is probably just so there aren't a lot of people dressed up like The Crow.

Wiccan do it.

I get tired of this crap. People, it's just a fun night for KIDS to dress up like something and go get candy. It's really not about Witchcraft, no matter where it started a long time ago, RIGHT now it's just a fun thing for the kids.

Had neighbors one time that made their kids sit in the house that night and watch all their friends in the neighborhood walk around having fun, getting candy. Felt bad for them.
