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"

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!!!

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....

So what is the end game on this? To outlaw the celebration of Halloween or the continued redefinition of racism and assault of the 1st Amendment?

The phrase "self-infantilization" rings true in this NY Times article:

According to Wikipedia, the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse has over 10,000 students. The special snowflake students in places like these are probably a tiny, albeit loud-mouthed, minority, so hopefully our youth aren't completely screwed up. The big concern are the college faculty and admin types who coddle and abet this behavior, probably because they are special snowflakes themselves who got into academia to avoid having to deal with the real world.
