MONTREAL -- Quebec Premier Francois Legault is taking aim at a school which has reportedly barred students from dressing up in "Squid Game" costumes this Halloween, calling the move "unacceptable."
An internal letter sent to parents by Boisé elementary school in Quebec City said the costumes “did not correspond” to the school’s values, and students wouldn’t be allowed to wear the costumes to class,During a Friday press conference, Legault pushed back on the school’s decision, recalling his own memories of Halloween as a child.
“When I was young, we dressed up as witches, as monsters, but it's not because we wanted to support witches and monsters," he said.CTV News reached out to Boisé to respond to the premier’s words, but did not immediately hear back. Even if students there can’t dress up in "Squid Game" apparel, the show is sure to be represented in Montreal this Halloween night.
