Small Town Nannies Cancel Trick-or-Treat
Written by Brian Garst, Posted in The Nanny State & A Regulated Society
Drunkard Township nannies have canceled trick-or-treat. My dad always threatened to do that with Christmas…but I digress. Why such a restriction on freedom, you ask? The same excuse as always: it’s for the children!
A small community in Greene County is embroiled in controversy after local officials decided to ban trick-or-treating this year.
Instead, Bobtown will hold a four-hour Halloween party.
Supervisors in Dunkard Township say they are taking the steps for safety reasons.
Assistant Dunkard Fire Marshall Bill Chief David Pritchard is “surprised” by the uproar. Who would have thought that Americans would have a problem with nannies telling them they can’t go knock on their neighbors’ doors?
