NightSide - Another Halloween Cancelled

BOSTON (CBS) - Another elementary school has cancelled this year's Halloween celebrations in an effort to embrace diversity. Seth Boyden Elementary School in New Jersey has decided not to have any in-school celebrations of Halloween this year, a decision that has been met with mixed reactions. Administrators say that last year about twenty percent of kids were kept home from school or sat out of the celebrations, and that they want to encourage a more inclusive learning environment. Do you agree with this logic, or have we become too sensitive to the possibility of offending or excluding people?
