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.

The fact that a major university is telling college kids not to dress offensively because it might bother the delicate sensitivities of other snowflakes is just embarrassing.  There was a time when part of the college experience was being exposed to different beliefs, cultures, and viewpoints.  There was a time when that was intended to expand our knowledge and take children and turn them into well rounded adults.  Now we're dealing with an entire generation of wimps who need safe spaces to avoid hearing bad words or things they don't agree with.
