ESSAY ON: Religious Freedom: Halloween in Public Schools

Number of Pages 6

This research paper: A 6 page paper assessing the case of a public elementary school actively promoting Halloween programs in the face of protests by fundamentalist Christian parents, who claim that Halloween is a pagan celebration and that they wish the principal of the school to either (1) allow their children to be insulated from what they claim is religious instruction contrary to their beliefs, or (2) allow equal time for presenting what they believe is the opposing view. The paper discusses the anti-establishment clause; Penn’s “Holy Experiment;” Good News Club v. Milford Central School; Church of the Lukumi Babalu Aye v. City of Hialeah; and the recent growth of the Wiccan movement to conclude that the principal of the school needs to remove all religious references if s/he wishes to retain any Halloween celebrations in the school. Bibliography lists 1 source.
