This is not uncommon across schools in Poland. English teachers are not allowed to speak about Halloween because of parents complaints.
that’s a polish Karen
European countries have it’s own traditions. Stop americanization.
Christmas is celebrated when it is to overlap with pagan festivities. That wound up making everyone happy — the pagans still got their winter solstice feast, and the Christians got their religious celebration.
If that’s okay with the Church, would a Christianized Halloween be acceptable?
I mean kids dressed up and running from house to house expecting candy would be weird as fuck here too.
But some school party for kids dressing up and getting candy? I see no harm in that.
>“Education serves to develop in young people a sense of love for the homeland and respect for the Polish cultural heritage…built on the Christian system of values”
I believe the world is in the karen- verse timeline.
Is Poland becoming a Theocracy? To me it seems like it is.
Based. Fuck cultural colonisation.
Let me guess, and the reason is the religiosity of the parent?
These uber religious parents who complained probably are the same who want the LGTBQ+ free zones and despise being told to be tolerant by the EU. They sound like fun /s
Halloween is contributing to child obesity in our country. Don’t just blindly follow our traditions. It’s not good for the kid’s health. I understand the power of our art and media to be spread around the western world. But you should choose and pick carefully which one you adopt in Europe.
We have a similar (probably regional) carnival tradition where I grew up called “Lütkern”. Where kids up to age 10/11 dress up and go for candy during the morning hours after primary school, which ends early that day. German carnival – kids get candy, adults get drunk.
Halloween seems like the “cool” version of that to the kids and teens. Was just a matter of time until they started copying it. Not that surprising given that it is shown in all of their shows and movies.
