If college feminists want to stage “slut walks” that’s fine, but they better choose a politically correct Halloween costume.

University tells students to dress ‘respectfully’ for Halloween festivities

Students at the University of Minnesota (U of M) received an email last week encouraging them to be respectful in their Halloween costume choices and not wear any costume that could offend people.

“Please keep in mind that certain Halloween costumes inappropriately perpetuate racial, cultural, and gender stereotypes,” U of M Vice Provost Danita Young Brown and Vice President for Equity and Diversity Katrice A. Albert said in the email obtained by Campus Reform. “Although it may not be the intent, these costumes, and choosing to wear them, can depict identities in ways that are offensive or hurtful to others.”

The email, sent Wednesday, also warned of “social media posts” that could have a “long-term impact on [students’] reputations.” It also reminded students of the school’s “ campus climate” policy.

“I think there are a lot of people on campus, and to worry about each individual and how you dress is probably a little over the line,” Jeff Westerhaus, a U of M student, told Campus Reform.

Elizabeth Cortez, a human and industrial relations major at U of M, told Campus Reform that she wasn’t bothered by the email as it was written as more of a guideline and didn’t include any consequences. However, she said it is up to the discretion of an individual wearing the costume if they want to wear something controversial or not.

Cortez said she is half-Mexican and personally does not get offended by certain Halloween costumes, but people do need to be aware that others might.

“If I see somebody with a sombrero, or whatever, it’s fine they’re having fun. I don’t take it personally, however some people do,” she said.
