Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted October 26, 2017 I have fond memories of this upcoming weekend being opening deer hunt weekend. Taking carved pumpkins out with us to camp so the kids could set them up around camp!No trick or treaters banging on the door....well, we weren't home!!!! I came across this article and thought how out of whack we have allowed society to get and how I long for years gone by, wishing my kids could see the world I was able to grow up in and experience freedom and fun! Best of luck to tag holders this weekend......I don't have a tag..........ugh!!!By Todd Starnes/TwitterTrick or Treaters are about to descend on the fruited plain dressed as superheroes and cartoon characters and monsters of all sorts.And that has universities across the country in full crisis mode.Institutions of higher learning are gearing up to provide counseling to students who might be triggered by an offensive halloween costume.Some schools are posting guidelines about unacceptable costumes - like Mexican sombreros and Indian headdresses or any form of blackface - warning that students could be punished for politically incorrect costumes.Back in 2016 a Notre Dame residence hall told students not to wear Disney-themed costumes like Aladdin and Pocahontas."Cultures are not costumes. It is wrong to make a caricature of, enforce stereotypes, or objectify a people. Disney’s Moana, Aladdin, Pocahontas, Mulan, The Three Caballeros, The Princess and the Frog, and a few other lesser characters have raised awareness to how easy it is to reinforce stereotypes through media," one residence hall rector wrote in a memo obtained by The College Fix."More than ever, we need to be aware of how our behaviors and decisions impact other people. Our intentions may be innocent, but the impact could be devastating," the rector wrote.Heaven forbid someone offend a perpetually-offended tadpole by dressing up like a toad.And the University of Florida announced around the clock counseling for anyone who might be triggered by a sombrero-wearing Robert E. Lee costume.The other night I was watching a Halloween-themed baking competition on cable television and I noticed - one of the hosts - a person of color - was dressed in white face.I wasn't sure if i should be triggered or not.Trick or treat, America.

mattys281 Report post Posted October 26, 2017 The funniest thing in that article is the term "Institutions of higher learning". What a joke! Public schools and colleges have turned into little more that indoctrination camps where you send you kids to be brainwashed into the good little sheeple/worker bees they need to be to blend in with the slave society we are today. And these people can't understand why homeschooling is growing at an exponential rate all across this country. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted October 26, 2017 This is the one that I thought was funny!!! "More than ever, we need to be aware of how our behaviors and decisions impact other people. Our intentions may be innocent, but the impact could be devastating," the rector wrote. Devastating is when you lose a loved one......devastating is when your house burns to the ground and everything is lost......devastating is when hurricane Harvey sweeps everything you own away........how someone dresses for Halloween is not "devastating"!!! On campus counseling.........how funny is that??? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AzDiamondHeat Report post Posted October 26, 2017 I caught that "devastating" word too. How will these people survive out of college? "devastating"...lol But those very same "enlightened ones" will protest and riot when I complain about my daughter being "devastated" when "confused dude" walks in on her in the GIRLS bathroom because nobody punched him in the mouth and told him he was a BOY and should act like one! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted November 1, 2017 Had a kid come dressed as Woody to Wood shop, practically put me into a devastating anxiety attack! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chico Report post Posted November 1, 2017 Yup gone are the days when you went out the door to trick or treat with whatever your imagination could think of dressing you up as . Neighbors were neighbors and you went all over the neighborhood with not a care in the world other than filling your pillow case with candy . Non Typical hit the nail on the head---I to long for them years when being a kid was fun and full of adventure . My grandkids are experiencing a different way of life for sure .

bigorange Report post Posted November 1, 2017 WTF? Triggered by an offensive costume? I still have traumatic memories from Halloween as a kid but it was older neighbor kids scaring the crap out of us...and I like to think I turned out fine. LoL 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
