Just when you think people can't get any crazier. This is the reason I could never work in a school. Laughing at parents probably wouldn't go over well.

LOL... I have never heard of such a thing but it sounds like some innocent fun to me. What did they think... that someone might discover they like cross-dressing and do it from that moment on... LOL. Something like that is probably either going to happen or not regardless of TWIRP day. I say let em have some fun!

*** shakes head **** So my question is: Why is this in the mainstream news? Giving publicity only encourages people to do this sort of stuff so that they can get their 15 minutes in the golden spotlight. blah
Bet those parents got gold stars from their fundamentalist church that week. Or maybe a bumper sticker from their kids school that says "My Kid is NOT a TWIRP (but I am)". I tend to lose my patience when having to deal with TWIRPS like this. ![]() _____________________

"for years Spurger schools hosted the day during Homecoming Week"
"It is outrageous that a school in a small town in East Texas would encourage their 4-year-olds to be cross-dressers," "It's like experimenting with drugs," "I don't think it was a liberal agenda," " it opens the door for other things to happen." "said she viewed the day not a silly Homecoming Week activity, but as an effort to push a homosexual agenda in a public school. " = "inflammatory and misleading." ???? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "replace it with "Camo Day," where students will wear camouflage clothing." BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR BIGGOT PUNKS. *spit _____________________

When I was that age, I probably would have looked damn cute in a Catholic school girl's uniform. Today, I'd just look silly.

The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 contains a little-known provision that threatens the federal funding of any school refusing to turn over all students' personal contact information to military recruiters upon demand. Students and parents have complained of multiple, harrassing phone calls from recruiters as well as uninvited recruiters who come to their houses. Written into the law is the requirement that schools must notify parents and students of their right to "opt-out". Many schools, however, are not complying with the privacy clause or are burying the privacy notice within start-of-school info packets without a thorough explanation to parents and students of the packet's contents. For more information about the recruiter access provision or to download your own "opt-out" forms, see below: http://www.afsc.org/youthmil/no-child.htm The No Child Left Behind act paves the way for the military to have unimpeded access to underage students who are ripe for solicitation for the military. This blatant contradiction of prior federal law is not only an invasion of students' privacy but an assault on their educational opportunities as well. Too many students are lulled by the siren songs of military service cooing promises of funding for higher education. Too many students have fallen between the cracks due to underfunded educational programs, underresourced schools and underpaid teachers. They are penalized in their educational opportunities for the systemic failure to put our money where our priorities ought to be: in schools. http://www.alternet.org/story/14716 Don't feel bad for these kids, it's natures way! _____________________

What's so wrong about cross dressing? Silly american rednecks...
I cross-dressed all the time when I was a kid, and so did lots of other people. It's called Mardi Gras! ![]() Some of us were too poor to rent costumes, so we cross-dressed instead. I wore my mother's clothes, my mom wore my grandpa's suit and painted a little mustache and everything, and heck, I still have a pic of my grandpa with a flower over his ear! LOL ![]() I have *ahem* very fond memories of being hit on by a guy slightly older than me who mistook me for a real girl at a Mardi Gras party ![]() Cross dressing is FUN! ![]() _____________________
