New Haven Public Schools Call For Ban On Clown Costumes This Halloween
Halloween is approaching and a school district in Connecticut has called for a ban on clown costumes and any “symbols of terror” as the “creepy clown” phenomena has put Americans in multiple states on edge, the Associated Press (AP) reported Tuesday.
Authorities at New Haven Public Schools said Monday that principals and building leaders were urged to ban clown costumes until more information on clown-related incidents is available, according to the AP.
The development comes as investigators examine an Instagram account that posted four photos of the clowns. The photos were captioned warning several school areas to “watch out” and “wait and see.” Authorities are looking into whether the threats are authentic or fake.
