What’s With The Dress, Jack?
A boy and girl play dress-up and tell stories about how the Assiniboyn, a Native-American tribe, encourage their children to wear the clothes that suit them best and play the games they most enjoy, without the limits of stereotypical gender roles.
Before the Play (Activities and/or discussion questions)
The teacher should solicit/ chart “boy’s” activities, things, and dress and then “girl’s” activities, things and dress. The teacher can then discuss all the student responses. Possible questions might include the following: Do you think boys could like some things that are on the girl’s side and vice versa? What makes us think of certain clothing, activities and things as being only for girls or only for boys?
After the Play
Discussion Questions:
The teacher should have pictures and photos of atypical gender roles both From today and in history. Examples from today might include police, fire And military women or male nurses, fashion designers, and ballet Performers. Examples from history might include men in dresses, robes, Kilts or with wigs, earrings and long hair. Why were men able to wear dresses in the past and not today? Why do you think women were not allowed to wear pants? Why did this change? Discuss hairstyles, make-up and jewelry and how it fits into gender roles. Is it all right for women to be in the military, police, etc.? Why or why not? Would it be alright if a boy wanted to play jumprope or hopscotch or if a girl wanted to play soccer and kickball? Why or why not?
Extension Activity
First chart “boy” and “girl” P.E. activities. For P.E. have the girls teach the boys how to play one “girl game” and the boy to teach the girls how to play one “boy game.” Then let them play the game for the day or week. After they have played the new game for the week, ask students if their views have changed.

That's interesting . . . I never knew the Ass-Boy Indians were such trend-setters among gays and lesbians.
How about we get the literacy rate up to 95% or so, the math and science scores ahead of the rest of the world, before we even consider spending any time cramming this down kids' throats?
I guess why we now know why the Ass-boy tribe is extinct.
"men in dresses, robes, KILTS or with wigs, earrings and long hair. Why were men able to wear dresses in the past and not today?"
Uhhh..... I am pretty sure the guys wearing the kilts don't consider them dresses!! Ever seen a guy wearing a 'dress' toss a caber??
Yeah, go ask a Highlander regiment if it's about 'gender identity.' I dare you.
Oh, for gosh sakes, just toss the toys out there and let the little kids play with whatever pleases them. It wouldn't prove ANYTHING about their sexual orientation.
A little girl has an older brother who owns some really neat cars and trucks, but won't let her touch them. What does she head for in kindergarten? The cars and trucks because she can finally play with the forbidden toys. She gets marked as having male tendencies.
A little boy's mom just had a new baby. He's been forbidden to touch the baby unless mom is present. He's wildly curious. He heads for the baby doll. Quick, put him down for a future sex change.
These people are determined to confuse as many little tykes as they can.
Exactly......

I hope the Southern Baptist Convention okays that resolution to ask Baptists to pull their kids out of public schools.
Unfortunately, this kind of stuff spreads like wildfire and more and more public schools are going to embrace it.
Given the fact that gays can't actually have children, it amazes me that their curriculum is given so much attention in schools. Where are the parents?
GLSEN is nothing shor of an efort to recruit children into sexua conduct.
What happend to the christian group getting onto the school boards? We can't just protect one child we need to protect them ALL.
BTW why not have a homeschooler mom or dad on a school board?
The parents and other meddlesome interlopers were not informed.
None of the Nancy boy libs have the cajones to wear a kilt...
and I dare anyone to tell a scotsman that he is wearing a 'dress'... the after effects are not pretty.
I did not see troy. In the illiad Ulysses was searching or Achiles. Achilles was hiding disgused with the maides in a castle. Ulyses posed as a peddler selling various goods, he spread his wares and watched. The women went for the dresses, exept one woman who went for the weapons and swords, achilles.
lesson of story? A tiger is a tiger.
Such efforts to teach boys not to be boys are doomed to cause problems.
