Halloween can be scary, but it can also be... offensive?
The University of Florida wants students to know that counseling is available for students hoping to work past any offense taken from Halloween costumes.
“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,” the school administration wrote in a blog post. “If you are troubled by an incident that does occur, please know that there are many resources available.”

I think that I would hire a mime to teach these precarious flakes on how to construct an invisible box for their ‘safe place!’ The obvious advantages are ease of use, total portability, low cost and can be used for academic credit at the CLOWN COLLEGE!

When I was a teenager growing up in Gainesville in the 70s, the Halloween Ball at UF was the place to be. Nothing was off-limits and anyone who got offended was laughed out of school.
