Costume: Princess Costume and Toronto Star

costume: On Monday, the Toronto Star published an op-ed from a woman who was disturbed that her child was sent home from school after a teacher called her costume offensive, according to Metro News. The little girl was wearing a Native princess costume. With Halloween just around the corner, cultural appropriation is about to be everywhere. She feels this decision was a horrible message to send to children, that it stifles imagination and denies that we share enough common humanity that we might be able, just for a day, to imagine ourselves as someone else. There is absolutely no excuse for any adult or child to dress up as a Native princess or anything depicting any race or culture. To that I say check your privilege. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
