Halloween Costumes and the Perpetually Offended

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!
