Michigan State University bans ‘racially, culturally, or ethnically based’ costumes for Halloween

Students at Michigan State University are getting an education in how they can avoid offending people with culturally inappropriate Halloween costumes in what’s becoming a new tradition that undermines the university’s own identity.

The unsolicited advice on what to wear on fright night appeared on message boards in campus residences this week to help students answer the question “Is your Halloween costume racist?” according to The Morning Watch, the school’s conservative news site.

What’s become an annual reminder from MSU’s Residence Education and Housing Services spells out the difference between “cultural appropriation vs. appreciation.” When students are selecting a Halloween costume, REHS wants them to ask themselves, “do you belong to that group of people?”

The headline is incorrect as Michigan State being a public university cannot ban costumes. I guess that means the university frowns upon students who want to dress up as Greek Hoplites just like Sparty.

In short concise, to the point words in English. No Freedom of Expression. You might offend someone. Michigan University is pruducing a LOT of snowflakes.

My mother, growing up in Nazi Germany, was told by her father:”Never say anything about anyone when you are in a public place.” So many similarities now, in the “Land of the Free”.

Justin’s fault, lol.

Where do you draw the line. At first glance, animal costumes might be okay, but what if it is a Koala Bear or a Panda?

"Do you belong to that group?"

So now, only Democrats can be ghouls?

“do you belong to that group of people?”

Translation, if you're not white, you'd better realize your choices are limited.

For the co-eds, I'd suggest sexy nurse or maid.

Once again, ultimately leftists show themselves to be the NO-FUN PARTY.

[CodeToad]

Show up as a drooling moron with a sign that says ‘liberal’.

[EEGator]

So, no?...

[smvoice]

So basically, NAKED is the only acceptable costume

[OttawaFreeper]

I guess that these sorts of parties are banned as well?

[jughandle]

MSU destroyed Halloween!

[EEGator]

It wasn’t over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

[I want the USA back]

That covers everything. This is just another way to criminalize anything a White says or does, or doesn’t say or doesn’t do.

[the OlLine Rebel]

“Are you Greek?”

Also, PS, ALL non-group usage is “appropriation” (as if that’s a bad thing), and NEVER appreciation.

[AppyPappy]

Remember when colleges were the bastions of free speech?

I guess that means the university frowns upon students who want to dress up as Greek Hoplites just like Sparty.

I'd love to see someone who's not Greek brought up on charges of cultural appropriation for dressing up like a Spartan. It would be fun to see how the leftist administrators would deal with their own hypocrisy.

Which liberals applaud with raucous debaucherous enthusiasm.

Especially if one defecates openly in public.
