Most students, no doubt, are going to be celebrating Halloween on campus this week -- as they should be. But part of celebrating Halloween in an environment of higher learning is being mindful about the choices we make when it comes to Halloween costumes and even party themes.
Students Teaching About Racism in Society (STARS) at Ohio University have been receiving quite a bit of publicity for their "We're a culture, not a costume" campaign. The posters do a fantastic job of reminding all of us how the things we see every day -- in costume shops, in catalogs, on our friends and neighbors -- can be offensive and disrespectful. You can read more about STARS and their awareness campaign through a profile of the organization or by visiting their website directly.
