Reminder about Halloween
Please ensure that your child does not bring any weapons or masks to school. In anticipation of Hallowe’en, the SCDSB has reminded us that dressing up for Halloween is fun and exciting but depending on our costume, it risks being offensive to other cultures. It is important not to inadvertently mimic culture by culturally appropriating racial, religious or ethnic groups. Some critical equity questions to reflect on about costume choices are:
- Is the costume depicting and perpetuating a stereotype or stigma associated with a particular race, culture or religion?
- Does the costume include a replication of a garment that is a significant component of a particular religion or culture with which the costume wearer does not identify with?
- Is the costume depicting a historical time period where that look/costume is now considered offensive and discriminatory?
- Does the costume represent elements of a culture or cultural practice being commoditized for consumption?
- Can a person look in the mirror and confidently say that the costume choice would not be considered offensive to a particular race, ethnic origin, gender or religion?
