13 year old pre teen boys are far more interested in being something funny. They're not interested in being something that their parents have been dressing them up as for the past 8+ years.

Ghost? Zombie? Vampire?

What is this, 1982?

We can make fun of terrorists in our cartoons, comics and in our daily lives. We can hate them, kill them, and racially profile muslims in this country yet we expect our pre-teens to not pick up on that?

The kid is wearing the costume as a satire. He's making fun of terrorists just like the rest of the world is.

He's 13, you think he knows what satire is? I'm curious as to whose idea the costume was.

Are you kidding me?

You REALLY underestimate 13 year old's. He's 1 year away from starting HS, if he doesn't know what a satire is then his school system has failed him.
