College Insurrection Tag

The newest frontier in political correctness on college campuses is the destruction of Halloween. Certain costumes have been deemed a form of cultural appropriation, offensive to others' sensibilities, and are therefore not tolerated. When a Yale professor suggested students chill out about Halloween costumes, she and her husband were verbally abused and driven from campus. In the past, choosing the wrong costume would do little more than make you unpopular with social justice warriors but at Tufts University, it could earn you a disciplinary investigation, including possible involvement of campus police. That fear is contained in a letter the fraternity and sorority leadership at Tufts recently circulated.
