What is wrong with people nowadays that they are so easily intimidated and terrorized that they are now trying to prohibit people from wearing certain costumes for Halloween?

The Gazette has reported that the Sturgeon School Division, as well as one St. Albert Catholic school, have reportedly banned students wearing any type of clown costume this Halloween due to “… alleged sightings of aggressive persons dressed as clowns …” even though the RCMP investigated and could find no evidence to support the allegation.

What I find offensive is the amount of people these days getting on the 'being offended bandwagon' by every little thing, and trying to control how other people behave.

As a protest this Halloween, I’m going to dress up as a black-face niqab-wearing Caitlyn Jenner geisha clown, wearing a turban with a couple of eagle feathers stuck on top.

I’ll probably offend so many people that I will likely get arrested.
