Schools & educational institutes are backbone of every society because it’s the place where the next generation is groomed and trained to lead the nation but unfortunately many prestigious schools in Pakistan are busy in promoting alien culture and days such as Halloween.
Recently many schools such as Lahore Grammar School observed ‘Halloween’day. They sent notice to parents informing them to dress students like witches, ghosts, Mummy & Monster.
The question is what message are we feeding in the minds of our children by asking them to dress like witches & monsters? Is this how we want our next generation to be?
Halloween doesn’t help in developing the personality of children and it’s not even a local cultural day or event. It’s a day which has roots from pagan society and religion with no link with our culture or religion. The question is why schools are promoting such days? Just to imitate the western world?
