You can go as Starsky. You can go as Hutch. But put away the Huggy Bear costume.

And what about these hos?
To: ConservativeStatement
Also prohibited are:
Witches (might be offensive to wiccans).
Mummies (might be offensive to Egyptian-Americans).
Werewolves (might be offensive to PETA).
Zombies (might be offensive to Haitian-Americans).
Dracula and Frankenstein are okay since they are both (literally) dead white males.

This guy can go as a giant dooooooshbag...except he would not even need a costume.

French Maid costumes were a big hit at school last year.

There’s certainly nothing wrong with giving students advice, and you really have to be a moron to dress in “black face” but, what a student wears at a private, off campus party , is really none of the school’s business. A kid has every right to wear an offensive costume and post the pictures on the net if he wants to. By the same token, anyone who sees it (including potential future employers), has the right to be offended- and say so! The idea the school has the right to enforce some kind of speech code or thought code or costume code on students off campus, is more offensive than any costume.

I went to a party at a local establishment two years ago in a Black Heavy Metal Wig, a Doug Flutie 22 game jersey, jeans and Spotbuilt coach’s shoes. It was me 20 years ago. However it wasn’t an original idea. A bartender there did it first.

I imagine that this will be as effective as demanding that females dress “demurely”, and do not in any way dress in a “slutty” manner, which would be offensive to slut-Americans.
Other costumes that are P.C. offensive:
ghost/Klansman
Nazi
Native American
Mexican bandito
Furry
Ninja (offensive to Orientals)
Pirate (offensive to Somalis)
Witch/Wiccan
Zombies (offensive to the voting dead)
Any copyright protected character
Anything not on this list needs pre-approval.
Approved for use: George W. Bush mask, but not Obama.
