  Halloween banned - to save witches' feelings

  
  

  US schools have banned Halloween because officials are worried about offending real witches.

  
  

  Students who turn up in costume could be sent home from schools in Puyallup School District in Washington state.

  
  

  "Schools are teaching students to be respectful and take account of the discomfort felt by others. Witches with pointy noses are not respective symbols of the Wiccan religion."
