UNIVERSITY SEEKS TO ‘BROADEN FREE SPEECH’ BY BANNING ‘OFFENSIVE’ COSTUMES

That means dressing like Caitlyn Jenner is out

EDINBURGH, Scotland –
The Edinburgh University student union claims it was working to “broaden free speech” when it banned students recently from wearing any type of costume that might offend anyone.

Students can no longer dress up like Native Americans, Arabs, Nazis, or depict police brutality because those costumes are “based on racial or cultural stereotypes.” Students are also now prohibited from wearing any outfits that “mock or are based on stereotypes of disabled people,” or “cross-dressing for the point of humor,” Express reports.

That means dressing like Caitlyn Jenner is out, as is a Chris Brown costume, because they use “gender-based or sexual violence for the purpose of humor,” according to the news site.

  1. So, no more zombie costumes, because they might offend dead people.
