Things like marriage, family, tradition are outrageous to progressives. Now if the costume was intended for boys, they would be giddy.

So it's so offensive to you that these costumes offended some you had to post a thread? No irony there. Meanwhile, K Mart shoul be happy they still have a random shopper here and there.

Slightly less absurd than the "black face" pumpkins but no worries...still have a week or so until Halloween.

Ummm...it's not an attack on traditional marriage. It's an attack on pedophiles. I don't know that I agree with it, but that's what the problem is. Seriously, you guys are writing the book on snowflakism.

Pedophiles want to have sex with children not marry them.

https://www.rd.com/culture/banned-halloween-costumes/

For those who do not want to scroll down, the following are costumes (or parts of costumes) that schools have reportedly banned

- Disco Diva
- Genie
- Indian Chief
- Several Disney characters
- Anne Frank
- Confederate Soldier
- Geisha
- Sombreros
- Clown
- Weapons of any kind

Some are understandable, but banning clown costumes ???

Oh, and check out this "helpful" guide presented by the University of Texas-Austin!

I think it would be easier and shorter to just say what would be acceptable to the SJWs.

You would know better than I, I guess.


But that is the complaint, the treating a child as a "bride"--not the idea of a marriage.

Do you live in Australia?

Do you have a problem when a private business makes a business decision to cease selling a product?

Don’t you find it a tad off to dress a kid as a child bride?
