HALLOWEEN 2014: Ebola suits, straitjackets and other costumes vetoed by PC police

HALLOWEEN 2014: Ebola suits, straitjackets and other costumes vetoed by PC police
Several universities have recently admonished their students not to wear a variety of costumes for Halloween that could potentially offend people, frighten people, or reinforce stereotypes.
At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, for example, some students were warned against donning a Hannibal Lecter-inspired straightjacket costume because it’s offensive to people who struggle with a mental illness.
At the University of Southern Maine, two students wearing Ebola suits to a party prompted massive outrage, and even had the cops called on them.
And at Lehigh University, the entire Greek system has been warned not to host Halloween-themed parties on – or off – campus that could potentially upset any number of people.
