Then ban all jeans on campus, and not just at the fancy dress parties:
Fancy dress parties are fast becoming a minefield for students, with the archetypal cowboy outfit the latest to be deemed offensive.
The University of Kent’s student union has included cattle ranchers and wranglers, with their Stetsons, jeans and boots, in a long list of unacceptable costumes.
Other banned outfits include the “crusades, Nazi uniform, priests and nuns, Native Americans, IS bomber, Israeli soldier and the Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him).” Also frowned upon are a Mexican sombrero, Harvey Weinstein, Jimmy Savile and Caitlyn Jenner, the transsexual television personality.
If that list left students a little stumped over who to dress as, there is some guidance in the “fancy dress guidelines”: cave people, aliens, the United Nations, Ancient Greeks and Romans are all fine.
Mocking cave men and Romans is fine, but almost everyone else not. Is this racist?

Decades ago my former brother and law and I showed up at Thanksgiving wearing jeans. My late mother came unglued. Jeans were for that po’ riff-raff from the other side of the tracks – which happened to be just across the street.
She grew up dirt poor, married my late father, a WWII B-17 pilot who escaped returning to the farm by taking the GI bill. Got an electrical engineering degree which led to a lucrative career.
But mom never forgot where she and he started – and made certain people knew it.
