Apparently diversity means to do nothing different or variate anything ever.
Check this article out though, especially the paragraph on ‘shirk’, a major crime in Islam where anything other than Mohamed is equated with his imaginary friend, ‘Allah’. I think a solid understanding of this concept might help to explain many changes we see in important Western cultural and legal institutions.

“Virtually all Halloween traditions are based either in ancient pagan culture, or in Christianity. From an Islamic point of view, they all are forms of idolatry (shirk).” – about .com
Well la-de-da!
So Halloween is based on ancient pagan culture. Some Christan congregations also avoid Halloween. They are screwed a little too tight.
I do not know of a Christian component of Halloween, but consider the writer of the about.com piece.
This Muslim guy is screwed a little too tight also. When their are Halloween festivities, it is an excuse to party and to have fun. there is no praying, beseeching or asking any higher power by most people.
Just a thought here, but if anyone is planning to go out for Halloween, why not wrap up in a bed sheet for the body and a pillow case for the head and wear a name tag saying:
Hello I’m
Obama Bed Linen
Don’t let them take it away from the Schools, not even for a Year, they can have their Drum sessions out side on a different night, the problem would be re-claiming it next Year, as they would object to having it re-installed.
