Herdmans Should Be Allowed In School

Decent Essays
Every Halloween, the six Herdman kids steal candy, spray-paint other kids, and take everything that isn't nailed down. And this year promises to be the same, until the Mayor decides to up and cancel Halloween. True, that means there'd be no Herdman trouble to contend with, but that also means no candy, no costumes, and no trick-or-treating! Is it possible that the Herdmans themselves could make what looks like a horrible Halloween into the best one ever?

    In “Fact Checking Clown Purge 2016: What’s Real & What’s Not,” Necta Casiple explains how the yearly Halloween Clown Purge is a hoax. The origin of the Clown Purge post was a Facebook post from a page called Clown Hunters saying that “clowns may be ‘planning their own purge the night before Halloween.’” (Casiple, “Clown Purge”).

    Halloween is like a horror movie, except with drunk teenagers instead of axe murders. It was about two years ago, when we were still living in Germany. It was a fairly peaceful Halloween night and the sun was about to set. My friends and I were walking around the village, what Germans call a town. After about half an hour of us walking around and talking, some acne filled, tall, muscular and older, German teenagers came up to us.…

Stoneman Douglas High School becomes the fifth largest school shooting in the US on February 14th, 2018.
