Quote:I encourage anyone to read the article before popping off.

 

Drifter makes it seem like they set up counseling specifically for those troubled by the costumes.  The counseling is available 24/7 all year long, for this and other reasons.

 

The article is actually a polite request to be sensitive to other people's beliefs.  I would imagine that means not dressing not to offend not just believers of your own religion, but others as well.  Don't dress as offensive racial stereotypes, either.

 

Essentially, the article asks students not to be jerks to one another.  Nothing snowflake about that, but good luck convincing everyone in this very mean-spirited year.

I did read the article.


As a Christian would I want to see people dressed as Satan or devil worshippers? No, I wouldn't. Would I get my panties in a wad, wring my hands and freak out and be offended? No. Why? Because other than the obvious black-face, KKK, Nazis,etc., people should be able to dress up and have fun- without malice. I guess that's one of the problems these days, too much malicious intent which puts a damper on things.
