Multiple elementary schools in New York have banned Halloween costumes that depict characters from the hit Netflix show "Squid Game," citing its mature content and violence. "Squid Game," which was Netflix's biggest series launch ever, is about a group of financially struggling adults in South Korea playing deadly, gory versions of children's games in hopes of winning a cash prize.
The superintendent of the Fayetteville-Manlius School District, which includes the elementary schools Enders Road, Mott Road and Fayetteville, told CBS News in a statement that school principals "wanted to make sure our families are aware that it would be inappropriate for any student to wear to school a Halloween costume from this show because of the potential violent messages aligned with the costume."
Parents were informed of the decision in an email, a spokesperson for the school said.
