College/university SNOWFLAKES
If one of these "offended snowflakes" was my kid I'd ask him/her to suck start a .357
This is an American epic fail.
College
University of Florida offers counseling for students 'troubled' by Halloween costumes
Published October 14, 2016
· FoxNews.com
The University of Florida is offering counseling to anyone who gets offended by any costumes worn this coming Halloween.
The school wrote in a blog post Monday urging students to “think about your choices of costumes and themes.”
“Some Halloween costumes reinforce stereotypes of particular races, genders, cultures, or religions. Regardless of intent, these costumes can perpetuate negative stereotypes, causing harm and offense to groups of people. Also, keep in mind that social media posts can have a long-term impact on your personal and professional reputation,” the post read.
The school reminded students that anyone who is offended or troubled by an incident or a costume, they could seek counseling at the wellness center or alert the school’s Bias Education Response Team which provides support to those who were impacted.
“If you are troubled by an incident that does occur, please know that there are many resources available. Please take advantage of the 7 day a week presence of the U Matter, We Care program at the University of Florida by emailing umatter@ufl.edu. Additionally, there is a 24/7 counselor in the Counseling and Wellness Center available to speak by phone.”
The University of Florida’s post comes days after Wisconsin-La Crosse hosted an event that attempted to educate students on not dressing like a racist. About 30 students showed up to the event, which was advertised with posters asking “Is Your Costume Racist?”
One school district in Connecticut was also cracking down on clown costumes after the “killer clown” fear that has plagued cities nationwide. The district prohibited clown costumes and any “symbols of terror” for Halloween outfits.

I hope these people choke to death on a huge gooey wad of vegan cookie mush and organic kale smoothie...
...and I hope the last thing they see is a guy in a evil clown suit
...and I hope the last thing they hear before they die is, "no way, Trump won in a landslide"

Don't they refer to those as gloryholes?

Just reading that article is embarrassing for me! Hurt feelings, cry rooms, time-out rooms for adults....
My greatest wishes are coming true. The sheep will be in their huddled masses while those of us who still possess testosterone will flourish while pillaging the countryside with impunity.
Cry away babies....

You could have left off "of vegan cookie mush and organic kale smoothie" and it would still have worked.

My kid is planning on attending college after he graduates this next year......It's sad when you really don't want your kid to get a college education because of the freak show that college has become. He wants a degree in Criminal Justice so he can be in law enforcement. He is not as quiet as me so I don't know if he can keep his mouth shut around wimpy, crybaby, pussy kids his age. Not sure if he'll last long there. Being from a real small town that doesn't have the attitude that most of these sap suckers have has kept him sane for the most part (and a Pop who doesn't baby him and give him safe places to pout!!)
luckily this young generation isn't totally lost although it seems they are out numbered!!!

Received this letter from my campus president several days ago.
I couldn't stop giggling ....
I should go down there and tell them I need a safe space having to deal with ALL the Liberals that have infested the campus.

Dear MSU Denver Community,
As an academic community we are committed to maintaining a campus environment that fosters the free exchange of diverse ideas and allows individuals to express their viewpoints in a variety of ways. In such a setting, and with the backdrop of today’s political climate, I recognize that some members of our University community feel marginalized, disrespected, and anxious, particularly when others’ expressed views demean their identity or lived experiences. I encourage each of you to actively seek out ways to have your voices heard on important issues facing our world today by engaging in respectful dialogue both in and outside of the classroom, and by continuing to seek out opportunities to learn about the issues most salient to you.
MSU Denver has a rich history of allowing for free discourse in an academic setting, while simultaneously supporting our diverse student body. We take seriously our commitment to a supportive campus climate for all students, as evidenced by several programs which provide tailored support to our diverse students. A few examples of such programs include:
· Immigrant Services
· Brother 2 Brother
· Cultivating Connections
· LGBTQ Student Resource Center
· Veteran/Military Student Center
I am also pleased to share that plans are underway to develop a new multicultural center to further support our diverse students and to serve as a hub for MSU Denver activities related to race, ethnicity, and culture. Events on a variety of relevant topics are also hosted regularly by different campus departments- check out what’s coming up on the University’s events calendar at https://www.msudenver.edu/events/.
If you are feeling anxious and uneasy about the future and the current climate in our country please be reminded that the MSU Denver Counseling Center offers students confidential services and a safe space to process and explore feelings. Please call the Counseling Center at 303-556-3132 to schedule an appointment or contact the Dean of Students Office at 303-556-3559 if you’d like assistance connecting with other resources.
Sincerely,
Stephen M. Jordan, Ph.D.
President
Metropolitan State University of Denver
