Hey BigFurHat,
With Halloween rapidly approaching, I guess it was only a matter of time until schools started warning their students which costumes are offensive.
Valdosta looks like it may take the cake for this one, though; in addition to warning students against wearing “Indian” and “Geisha” costumes, the school instructed students to not wear “ghetto” or “Hillbilly” costumes because they might reinforce classism.
Yeah, I know, another “-ism.” Anyway, the story can be found here: http://crfrm.us/TuwGh
Thanks!

I read a story about what’s called “The Strawberry Generation” the other day. It’s a Chinese term for a generation that bruises easily, like a strawberry. Now it’s here.

All I remember about Valdosta is that is a nice little nothing city to bypass before you get to Florida…….. do they stomp on flags there…..??
And since when is what students do on their own time, away from school, any of the school’s damn business…?
Could there be a costume more offensive than a policeman’s ??
Gnomesayin?
I’m going as myself….A Big Dumb Polock
Sigh… going out as a One-Eyed, Hunchback, Diesel-Fired, Plaid Flannel lumberjack shirt-wearing, Nipple-Ringed, Transgender Dwarf is getting to be pretty passé anymore these days…
I’m going as a gay illegal alien Communist muslime politician.
In other words I dressing up as Barack Obama.
I am putting on a Glad trash bag with 2 tiny eye holes and being a Pisslamist. Maybe I can carry a home made clock.
The goat costume idea was discarded for fear of having Motards try to hump me.
Can’t go as…
Porky Pig: Offends Muslims
Captain America: Offends Those who hate America
A Ghost: Offends those have recently deceased relatives
Princess: Classist
Hobo: Same reason
Prince: Classist AND Sexist (and racist if you’re white)
Indian: Makes light of Indigenous People’s plight
Cowboy: Promotes Unhealthy Masculinity
Zombie: That’s Lifeist
Oh, but Whore-like Nuns and Evil Priests are cool
i’m sure it’s ok to dress up as an lgbt with a strapon
I threatened to go stark naked, but I would just look like an elderly StayPuft Marshmallow Man.
Just put on some roller skates and go as a fluffy pull toy…
I’m pretty sure going as an obama brown shirt would be a hit.
I wanna dress up and hit the town as a Confederate lawn jockey.
Waiting for the furries to complain.
Now here’s a poliically correct costume

The mascot of the local high school in my town is a hillbilly. I think it’s hilarious and can’t wait to buy merchandise when the time comes.
