Per CNY Central, one school district in New York’s Syracuse area has warned parents that Squid Game costumes will not be allowed in the area’s three elementary schools. The show’s violence is cited as a reason for this prohibition.
Children have been banned from wearing Squid Game-themed Halloween costumes in some New York schools, according to reports.
While Squid Game is mentioned by name, other violent costumes are also covered as part of the school district’s ban.
Squid Game features some scenes of graphic violence, and is rated unsuitable for children under the age of 15.
