A Hispanic student group at the University of Chicago is telling students on campus not to dress up as “any type of law enforcement” for Halloween because it “can trigger or intimidate people of color.”
Ahead of the holiday, Mecha de UChicago put out a flyer titled, “How to Not Be Problematic on Halloween.”
The flyer obtained by Campus Reform includes a list of “things not to do,” including “Blackface, Browface, anyface,” dressing up as a culture that isn’t your own, wearing “anything that sexualizes an individual or group of people,” and dressing up as law enforcement.
“This definitely includes I.C.E.,” the flyer reads.
The group concludes the PSA on political correctness by saying, “Let’s make Halloween fun, not problematic.”

Halloween costume choices continue to stir debate not only on college campuses but also at high schools and even elementary schools across the country.
One elementary school in Massachusetts cancelled the holiday altogether and replaced it with “Black and Orange” spirit day to avoid any problems.
Parents in general are being advised not to let their children dress up as anyone or anything representing a culture that isn’t theirs, even if they admire that culture.
