A public school's "gender-bender" cross-dressing event, where boys were supposed to dress as girls and girls as boys, has prompted at least dozens, perhaps hundreds, of students to flee the tax-supported institutions in Iowa.
Many of the parents apparently are members of the Christ Apostolic Temple in Des Moines, which teaches a biblically based doctrine of rejecting the world's values.
"Christ Apostolic Temple Inc. Fellowship ... is a Bible-based organization that believes one must 'come out from among them and be ye separate.' (2 Cor. 6:14-17)," the organization's website says.
That apparently includes cross-dressing, an event which has found sponsorship in other arenas from the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, which has promoted a school lesson plan for teaching boys and girls to cross-dress.
State officials in Des Moines confirmed to WND that at least 80 children whose parents were alarmed by the "Gender-Bender Day" during homecoming week at the city's East High School have moved their children from the various districts in the area into homeschooling plans. Several parents told WND that the number could be in the hundreds.
One parent, writing on a blog shortly after the cross-dressing promotion, hardly could contain the outrage.
In bold red type, the parent wrote, "TUESDAY AT ONE OF OUR LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS THEY HAD WHAT IS CALLED 'GENDER BENDER DAY!' IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT THAT IS THEN LET ME EDUCATE YOU REAL QUICK … IT IS WHERE THE BOYS DRESS LIKE GIRLS AND VICE VERSA!!"
The author continued, "THIS WAS ALLOWED AND CARRIED OUT AT OUR SCHOOLS!!! … I IMMEDIATELY PULLED MY CHILD OUT OF THE DES MOINES PUBLIC SCHOOL! WE ARE NOW HOMESCHOOLING ALONG WITH SEVERAL HUNDRED OTHER PARENTS!"

The libs don’t seem to get it. If the public schools are so bad that you have to pull your kids out of them, then you can be certain you will not be voting to increase the funding for public schools.
The school board, the Pricipal and every single teacher should be required to cross dress as well. All week. This will set the example they are looking for.
Also, all of the men should be forced to sit through an 8 hour, all day dissertation on how to cope with menstruation, proper vaginal hygene and the Marxist underpinnings of the radical feminist eco-ideology and its impact on vaginal hygene. This will be called ‘diversity training’ and they should be forced to sit through it every quarter.
Maybe that will change their minds.
HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?
This is outrageous!
More money will solve the problems of public education in America!
You say that as if that would be a punishment for them
Warping our children’s minds, with a little ed-u-ca-shun thrown in. This really is becoming a travesty.
In the big-hair band days, it looked like cross-dressing day everyday in high school. Nothing gay about it.

I understand that you’re just being sarcastic, but we do keep hearing that over and over again.
I like to ask the liberals who say this, how much would be enough?
They never have an answer.
Then I tell them that I’m going to let them in on a little secret.
No matter how much money you give the tax-funded, union-run government schools, it will never, EVER, be enough.
I’d just wear a flannel shirt and go as a lesbian.
More money means more of what we’re already getting.
LOL, so a male cross dressed as a lesbian = straight? Very funny. The sad thing is the school would likely not know the difference but the kids would get it.
Not that I would allow my children to attend.
Until parents wake up and express outrage - as did these parents who pulled their children out of the schools - nothing will change.
Our children are in water under increasing heat, slowly being cooked into accepting cross-dressing, homosexuality, big-government, entitlement, immediate gratification and complete moral and ethical relativism.
Welcome to your nightmare.
This is crazy.
In Florida kids that get pulled out of school for home or other schooling cost the school district state funds and causes administrators to wail and gnash their teeth a lot.

Christ Apostolic Temple is right. Once more the world is wrong.
In my school district I would be happy if they just forced the teachers to dress in appropriate professional business attire.
God Bless those that choose to homeschool. I have been contemplating all the radical changes taking place and that have taken place. Perhaps it is because I am becoming a Great Auntie, but I know my nephew and his wife will be challenged in 5 years regarding sending their child to a government run school.

Now if someone could tell me how to get them to enforce the law of not using my property taxes for the school...
Uh...hate to sound dumb here but why not just refuse to participate in such an “event”?
Where is the issue here? They are supporting a presidential candidate! It is and issue if they sit or stand to pee.
Because the idealogical training doesn't stop with the event!
And a school board in Des Moines == The world?
Good bye, America. We hardly knew ye.
Apparently, it bears repeating. :)

Wow, they actually believe in Biblical separation! That's great!
They have moved the country into such a dangerous moral decline that a Marxist who supports sex perversion is now the front runner for the presidency.
LMFAO!
I never would have thought this cr@p had infiltrated states like Iowa. A less civilized person might suggest that one solution would be for the school administrator’s address to be posted in the newspaper and the town hardware store put axe handles on sale.
Are you kidding? My extreme left wing SIL and her significant other just moved back to Iowa from Texas. Iowa is a progressive state doncha know.
This is breath-takingly, mind-blowingly insane!! As much as I hold public schools in disdain, I never believed them to be so incredibly arrogant and moronic as to support such an event as this.
This is, yet, another reason for either private schools or homeschooling. The public schools are nothing more than cesspools and this is further proof of it!!
I don’t see the big deal. Heck, most of the girls you see these days dress like boys anyhow, and the boys are feminized.
“Christ Apostolic Temple in Des Moines, - - - teaches a biblically based doctrine of rejecting the world’s values.”
most denominations do - to be in the world but of the world.
Huh. We did this in rural Colorado in the 70s when I was in High School. As far as I know, Powder Puff football games (and the cross dressing that went with it) had been a part of homecoming week since at least the early 60s.
But if World Nut Daily says we were all headed down the path to queerdom, who am I to argue?
24 years of marriage and 5 great kids aside.
CORRECTION:

“Julie-Annie Day”
20 years ago this would have been an activity day during spirit week. Now it’s “gender bending” and gay-related.
Another day, another reason to home school...
I was thinking the same thing. We have similar events when I was in school. No one thought anything of it.
We had them too. It was all in fun.
I think the reaction here is to be expected, since homosexuality IS thrown in our faces so much anymore, stuff like this which used to be thought of as innocent fun is now thought of as part of a gay agenda, whether it actually is intended to be or not.
See #46.
GOOD!
Maybe one of these days, home schoolers will DEMAND VOUCHERS!
Why should they pay for this garbarge?
As soon as I saw it, I thought of you ... .
Perhaps you need to move to this school district.
You constantly defend “gay” people. You don’t mind that your kids are around “gay” people. Instead of just seeing a “gay” couple, a man pretending to be a woman and a woman pretending to be a male ... parts don’t fit for sex ... have your kids experience cross dressing!
Imagine how much closer that will bring your children to your fascination with “gay” people. Come on ... let’s not be a hypocrite ... you see nothing wrong with it and want the “best” for your children ... right? So let them experience the gender bending that they see in your friends through - cross dressing. If you’re lucky maybe they’ll act on it sexually when they are older?
Gabz:
I guess I’m not “rational” in your mind. My gay friends asre neither molestrs of children or perverted, they are just different.
Then by all means support the perverted and risk your kids being molested by them. Be blind. Ignore that a disproportionate number of child molestations as compared to heterosexual molestations are happily committed by “gay” people. Be an advocate for the ungodly “different” people that are emotionally all screwed up - lovely example for the kiddies ... .

As if you’d know if your “gay” friends are molesting kids or not - LOL! They’re laughing at YOU and you don’t even know it.
The perverts, deviants, queers, and pedophiles are clearly gaining full access to kids for a purpose? Just more sexual harrassment of kids until they are essentially forced to embrace this sickening degeneracy by those that belong in cages.
