School-sponsored cross-dressing day at elementary school causes controversy (Milwaukee)
http://dailycaller.com ^ | may 28, 2013 | eric owens

Last Friday’s cross-dressing day at a Milwaukee elementary school proved contentious.

The school-sponsored event was one of the theme days during school spirit week at Tippecanoe School for the Arts and Humanities. While the themes for each of the other days were sufficiently milquetoast, Gender Bender Day — as it was originally named — raised a few parental eyebrows.

Members of the school’s student council chose the transvestite theme, reports WITI-TV. The idea was straightforward: boys were encouraged to dress like girls and girls were encouraged to dress like boys.

Deidri Hernandez, the mother a second-grader at Tippecanoe, found out about the plan and complained to the principal, reports EAGnews.org. School officials allegedly responded by saying that the school’s actions were not illegal. At the same time, officials also opted to change the themed day’s name to “Switch It Up Day.”

“I didn’t have a problem with the title. I had a problem with the activity taking place,” Hernandez told EAGnews. In her view, the notion of sponsoring a cross-dressing day at a grade school is “ridiculous” and “creepy.”

“They might as well call it ‘Transgender Day,’” the irate mother opined.

Another parent told WITI that he doesn’t want his son to attend school dressed as a girl.

“I think it’s just teaching them the wrong lesson about gender,” father Sam Ward told the local FOX affiliate. “If you’re a boy, stay a boy.”

“Members of the school’s student council chose the transvestite theme,”

Did any of you out there have a student council in grade school? BTW, under who’s auspice did the chosen theme come to be agreed upon?

Interesting that the “students came up with this” wonderful idea, but not a single one of them participated.

Can't have a Christmas pageant anymore though. Winter Solstice or "Holiday".

But change your "gender" for stuff and grins.

this is ALL about turning boys into girls!!! ...

How about Switch It Up for the teachers and principal. They wear orange jumpsuits. To make it realistic, they do this behind bars. And, to make it extremely realistic, it's not a day, but 40 years.

No parole.

It’s better for a girl to be a tomboy than a boy to be a sissy, I say.

Now there are sensitive boys, and that’s not a bad thing of itself. Being manly (in a theological view, which I unashamedly take) doesn’t mean being gratuitously crude. But it’s another thing to shy away from what makes a man a man just because of a whim.

This garbage would have gone over like a fart in a church on a hot summer day with no AC, back in the 50s and early-60s. Our parents would have strung-up everyone involved with initiating such an asinine idea and wasting a day’s worth of education. The administrators/teachers would have been unemployed within 24hrs, and the ping-pong paddles applied to the student council.

Year by year by dulling year, our society and world has been drubbed into this by people who begged the question and set up a self fulfilling prophecy by saying that it was the way of the future.

Turning large numbers of people away from this is a God sized task; we can’t accomplish that if we could yack away a hundred times more here than we do now.

Why would anyone send their children to public schools?
