        Every ideology has a level of pedantry. As a Christian, I am guilty of believing my own particulars and imposing them on others. I hope that Professor Due realizes she has created a worldview centered on avoiding racial divisiveness and editorializing how others should follow.

        So you think we ought to hang spider webs instead? Speciesist much? Spiders are sacred to many indigenous cultures around the world and you just want to carelessly "hang" their homes just so you can enjoy your cis-species privilege, eating candy of color? Disgusting.

        "Right up until the Civil War began in 1861, hanging was a type of vigilante public punishment that pretty much anyone could be subjected to, regardless of race." Because IRL violence and bigotry is too spooky for the spooky season. You're not hanging a black skeleton.

        Wrong. Halloween is the path to eternal life. Get your haunted house in order.
