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.

If you are troubled by an incident that does occur, please know that there are many resources available.

Thank you for the book recommendation! I haven’t read Stephen King in years, sounds like I need to pick him back up again.
