The Taliban is alive and well at Maryland Elementary School in Bexley, Ohio.
Bowing to right-wing pressure lodged by dominionist parents, the school has announced plans to cancel Halloween festivities. At least one student cried upon hearing the news.
The backlash though has been significant. About 140 people have signed a petition to restore Halloween. But the Grinches Who Stole Halloween seem undeterred.
Silly me for thinking America had separation of church and state.
