Grown up children who may never grow up. Amazingly, pretening to be “so mature” and intellectual these children prove they still are children. Unable to recognize that by believing no one should be offended they enable larger and larger groups to be OFFENDED. This is not a complicated thought process but is certainly is a thought process that should come as one matures and for these children to believe they are smart, attending one of the most “elite” academic higher education institutions in the country, is not only disheartening but disgusting and they all should be ashamed of themselves an so should their parents. How would you like to be the parent of the CHILD who said this:
The “petitioner” says, ” Freedom of expression is important but protecting people’s FEELINGS is more important.” and your “brilliant” child responds, ‘”Yeah, I agree with that.”
My disappointment would know no bounds if one of my children said that. My failure as a parent for not teaching my child HOW TO THINK rather than public education WHAT TO THINK would drive me to despair.
VIDEO: Yale students love the idea of outlawing Halloween
- At campuses around America, students have been discouraged from wearing sombreros, ninja outfits, Native American headdresses, or any other costume which assumes a culture one does not represent.
- Students at Yale and elsewhere have made it clear: they want their schools to take preemptive measures to prevent the wearing of Halloween costumes which could offend.
- Campus Reform visited Yale with a petition to outlaw Halloween; it gained signature after signature.
This year at Campus Reform, we’ve reported extensively how college students around the country have increasingly taken offense to Halloween celebrations, often accusing various costumes of being offensive and declaring students who wear them guilty of “cultural appropriation.”

“[T]his is affecting people’s lives, you’re taking narratives away…So I definitely support [the petition].” Tweet This
One prominent example of this trend came last year at Yale University, where students famously protested a professor who simply advised students to wear whatever Halloween costume they deemed appropriate.
Students at Yale and elsewhere have made it clear: they want their schools to take preemptive measures to prevent the wearing of Halloween costumes which could offend.
But would they be willing to support a more extreme measure in the hopes of limiting hurt feelings this Halloween season?
Campus Reform visited Yale with a petition to outlaw Halloween on the New Haven, Connecticut campus.
Posing as a member of the fictitious “Yale Students for An Inclusive Fall Season,” I attempted to garner support for my cause.
I had no idea how easy it would be.
After explaining that my goal was to create a more inclusive campus and limit the number of students made uncomfortable by costumes each year, I received signature after signature.
What was their rationale for signing the outrageous petition? Watch the full video to find out.
