October 7, 2007 --Halloween is banned at a Brooklyn high school - and Hitler's to blame.

A year after Walter Petryk, 17, came to school in a fuhrer-style mustache and Nazi uniform, Leon M. Goldstein HS for the Sciences sent home a letter on Thursday banning Halloween costumes - and Petryk is peeved.

Petryk - a senior who has already rounded up a group of about 20 students to protest the ban by dressing up anyway - is mulling masquerading as Jesus or a Hasidic Jew this year.

"This whole ban is ridiculous and they can't enforce it," said Petryk, of Park Slope. "Obviously, it's because of me.

"I'm trying to tell as many students as possible that they can't do anything to us."

The Department of Education disagrees - and says school Principal Joseph Zaza is within his rights to ban costumes on the premises that they are "disruptive to the educational process."

The DOE doesn't have an umbrella policy on costumes.

Schools, however, can require students to remove clothing that "interferes with the learning process," and if students refuse, they can be suspended for up to 10 days.

But Petryk isn't worried in the slightest - in fact, he's looking to fan the flames.

"We're going to dress up the day before or the day after, just to annoy them," he said.

While students at the school told The Post they're split on Petryk's behavior, they're universally up in arms over the Halloween ban.

"I don't care what the guy wears," said sophomore Brian St. Jean, 15. "I just wanted to wear my 'Scream' mask at school this Halloween. Now I can't." "I'm really upset that I can't dress up," added Karina Litvinova, 15, a sophomore. "That one guy ruined it for all of us."

Oh wahhh. Poor kids can't wear costumes to school.

Then wear them after school.

No sympathy from me on this one.

i am sure that someone would ahve eventually objected ..stating this is a pagan or satanical ritual...

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

I myself find Hitler very offensive and don't consider anything about him a joke or funny :angry:

I definitely AGREE! My grandmother was born in Germany during the time of Hitler's horrid rule and even as a German little girl she had to go thru SO much and she still remembers all of it!!! I dont think its anything to joke about... TRY being in that situation when ur life is in danger and bombs all around u and see ur friends get killed! :angry::angry:maybe then they would think about dressing up as hitler or wanting ANYONE else to do it!
