FULL TITLE: Single mother who dressed up as dad so she could go with her little girl, 6, to her father-daughter dance is BANNED from the event

A single mom dressed up like a man so that she could take her six-year-old daughter to her highly-anticipated father-daughter school dance — but the school's principal refused to let them attend.

Knowing how much her daughter, Gracie, wanted to attend the dance even though her father was out of the picture, Amy Peterson, of Henry County, Georgia, decided she'd take her daughter to the dance.

The conform to the dance's theme though, the duo decided that Amy would attend dressed up like a man.

BTW, you’re the one posting slander and lies - against this woman that you don’t even know. Totally based on ASSumption. You’ve been called out about it by other FReepers too.

But read my post 208. I think it’s silly to take side not knowing the facts, but what has been presented makes the mom look she just not all there. I don’t care less where the thread went.

Of coarse a school should let a mom or substitute attend a Daddy/Daughter dance! If she respects the tradition. I don’t see it in this case. She mocked it.

I find it interesting that you always support sluts over chaste women and attack those who advocate returning to traditional sexual morals. I would hazard to guess that reflects your own soul.

Always? First, that's a bizarre characterization of one exchange. Second, I'm following the example of my God, who repeatedly pardoned notorious sinners, and who told us to worry about the beam in our own eyes. When I'm perfect, I'll consider whether I'm worthy to condemn someone whose story I don't even know.

There’s no basis in scripture that a woman who’s lost the father of her children is obliged to give them up. Lost or ditched? Because we both know that statistically she almost certainly ditched him.

Statistically, he almost certainly ditched her. You inadvertently admitted as much yourself earlier, by pointing out that stigmatizing men doesn't work, so you prefer to focus your efforts on the "sluts."

In any case, I'm done replying directly to you. The entire reason I spoke up on this thread is that it's important to show lurkers people like you don't represent all Christians and conservatives.

How would it ruin my husband’s dance with his daughter if there’s a mom dressed as a guy dancing with her daughter?

Right?? I wasn't blessed to have children of my own, but I can't imagine any person with normal levels of empathy would think anything other than, "How sweet, that mother loves her daughter."

Do we have an ignore function on this board?

Free Republic has the best forum software I've ever seen. A twit list feature would make it darn near perfect.

I’m trying to find even one instance where Jesus did what you claim is the “Biblical” approach on the mortal sin of sexual immorality, and I’m not finding it. The harshest words and actions of Jesus were reserved for the unrepentant, holier-than-thou, hypocritical Pharisees who laid heavy burdens on the people and did nothing to help them lift it. Jesus was known as a “friend of sinners” - hated by the Pharisees because He didn’t shame and shun the whores and tax collectors but actually ate with them and acted as if they too had human dignity. And they loved Him for it, and came to salvation.

That’s the happy ending I want. And I’m going to keep trusting that Jesus knew how to do things right. You can keep emulating the Pharisees but I’ll stick with Jesus, thank you.

Amen.

Again, I find it bizarre that people like you feel you have the authority to pardon people for their sins especially when they continue in their sin. You’re not God. Jesus requires repentance before grace is given and there’s no demonstration of repentance here. A women with a child without a father needs to A) either return to the father of the child or B) acquire a new father, or C) give the kid up to a 2 parent family. Anything less is she continuing in her sin against her own children and her husband.

>Statistically, he almost certainly ditched her.

72%+ of marriages are broken up by women not men.

>You inadvertently admitted as much yourself earlier, by pointing out that stigmatizing men doesn’t work, so you prefer to focus your efforts on the “sluts.”

I prefer it because historically it’s the only system that works. Want a system where there’s very little male cheating? Make sure every women has a husband and have the death penalty for adultery.

>In any case, I’m done replying directly to you. The entire reason I spoke up on this thread is that it’s important to show lurkers people like you don’t represent all Christians and conservatives.

I’m so offended that a slut defender like yourself doesn’t like what I have to say. Oh wait, I couldn’t care less. So by all means continue on defending the modern system that creates broken children and broken families and I’ll continue on advocating the restoration of the Christian patriarchy as the best way to raise happy children in 2 parent families. We’ll see which of us God rewards.

Just...Wow.

My mom had a saying. “Be careful what you hate, for it will surely move in”. I hope none of your loved ones find themselves a single parent.

Hats off to your spouse. It can’t be easy having to wake up to your ass every day.

I wonder what they’d have done if the kid were a boy, but came to the dance in a dress. Aren’t the schools supposed to be supportive of the trans-whatever students now? Then why not the parents?

It’s one hot mess liberal political correctness has established in America.

Did you notice what words are missing from all of that person’s posts? GRACE, MERCY, LOVE, COMPASSION, FORGIVENESS, HOPE, GENEROSITY, GOODNESS, KINDNESS. All I see are: hate, condemnation, gossip, judgement, etc.

Isaiah 5:20

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

1 Corinthians 15:33
Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”

Romans 12:9
Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.

1 John 3:8
Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.

Run along little snow flakes.

Of course. Usually the ones acting all “holier than thou” are also the biggest hippocrites.

I wouldn’t take anything he has to offer up on this thread seriously.

You are making an assumption that this woman is a single mother by choice. That may not be the case at all.

Being called a snowflake doesn’t bother me, noob.

Is someone holding a gun to her head preventing her from being married? Probably not since she’s posing for this story. Therefor she’s unmarried with a child by her own choice. She could correct this problem at any time for the sake of her child. Instead she pretends to be a dad and goes to father daughter dances teaching her daughter and all the little girls that being a single mother is the way to go! Shame on her and shame on you for accepting this behavior.

>Being called a snowflake doesn’t bother me, noob.

^Top KEK, little snowflake.

What is she supposed to do? Just marry some dirt bag off of the street?

We hear all of the time about women having boyfriend’s abuse their kids and they are scorned for bringing men into their home.

You seriously need to check yourself. Her personal life is none of your business.

Huh? It says right at the end of the linked article that she will be homeschooling next year. Plus it said she wants to change things at the school “so this never happens again”. As far as I’m concerned she could have gone as a fill-in which the school allowed but it seemed freaky to dress up as a guy.

And what do you mean by “others have called me out”, of what? Nobody else replied to me here, and apologies if I didn’t read some of the 200+ comments.

Lots of eligible men out there who want to start families. There’s not a shortage or men.

Yes, which is why she should get married instead bringing random strange men home when she gets horny or shacking up.

>You seriously need to check yourself. Her personal life is none of your business.

Thank you for self identifying as a feminist. The democratic underground is that way -——————>
