It has no pagan roots....it's a Christian holiday....That is essentially why this happened.Newton,today,is largely Jewish...and not Orthodox Jewish but,rather,"Reform" Jewish.In other words,Newton is a largely atheist city.

Virtually all holidays have pagan roots, yes, even Christian holidays.

It surely has a pagan roots. Just like Christmas, Halloween started with a Pagan celebration, but then when Christianity entered the scene, the Church fathers adopted it and gave a new meaning...

Who cares? The roots of Halloween don't matter. Kids don't care where Halloween originated, they just like dressing up once a year and getting candy. It's something to look forward to. What does matter is that celebrating Halloween is an American tradition.
It upsets me that people that are supposedly on the side of American conservatism are working toward the same ends as those that want to destroy American heritage and traditions.
