Transsexual chaperone fuels controversy

ST. LOUIS - The fourth-grade field trip to the state Capitol was going well: The kids gaped at the rotunda, peeked in the Senate chambers, listened politely to a lecture on how a bill becomes law.

Then someone noticed that the parent chaperone with the luxuriant hair and restrained makeup was a dad.

Most of the kids on the trip, apparently, either did not notice or did not care that a classmate's father was dressed as a woman, in jeans, a sweater and nice shoes. Most of the teachers, apparently, were equally untroubled.

I propose that all male cross dressers be required to wear burqas. Then the kids could learn all about "transgender sexuality" and "Islam" at the same time.

''We don't have the right to discriminate, and we shouldn't,'' Bennett said.

Yeah, unless some kid wants to wear the confederate flag on a Dixie Outfitters tee.......

Snort -hah ! Maybe that's what they're all REALLY hiding.

When I have a brand new hairdo
With my eyelashes all in curl
I float as the clouds on air do
I enjoy being a girl

When men say I'm cute and funny
And my teeth aren't teeth but pearl
I just lap it up like honey
I enjoy being a girl

"This guy was not a disruption"

Evidently he was.

"He didn't show up wearing a skintight leather dress and fishnet stockings."

If he had, would it have made any difference?

"We don't have the right to discriminate, and we shouldn't."

You do, and you should.

In fact, the school board should be quite discriminating about whom it allows to chaperone 4th grade field trips.

Those pesky, uptight parents again. When will they learn that the NEA knows what's best for their children?

This freak is getting his rocks off by parading around as a woman. There has to be some kind of sexual stimulation that this frootloop expriences or he would not do it, whether he enjoys the shock on his fellow citizens when they discover his little taboo, or actually gets some kind of stimulation of his "inner vagina" is irrelevent.He is now using kids as part of the audience for his perverse little freakshow and it should not be tolerated.

[SouthernFreebird]

I was'nt agreeing with their statement, I was being sarcastic.
I agree with what you said.

HeShe should have just chucked the "comfortable shoes" and gone all out...

[GirlShortstop]

Most of the kids on the trip, apparently, either did not notice or did not care that a classmate's father was dressed as a woman, in jeans, a sweater and nice shoes.

So, this "dad", as chaperone, does he help the little girls in the restroom if necessary?  Puke!   What's to keep pervs away from your kid if you eliminate one basic starter for protecting your children... normal people serve as chaperones?

Sorry Freebird-When I started my one finger keyboard pecking, you were the last poster on the thread-sometimes I just use the nearest reply box to post. Your post is dead on also, to the libs the stars and bars are a frightening sight, but they would let their kids go to a sleep-over hosted by Miceal Jackson & Pee Wee Herman. Best Regards.

Another putrid aspect of this is the writer's attempt to use the children's innocense; their lack of awareness of this freak, as some type of stamp of approval. The kids don't care, so why should we? The kids thought he was a woman, that's why they weren't upset! The damage comes later, when the awareness comes. "Remember Ms. Smith? Well, she was really a man. Some of the lessons are:

1: Trust nothing, because someone might be anything.
2: My parents and teachers don't care. It must be o.k.
3: Therefore, it's o.k. for me.

Guyz,

Recently went to the movies. Went to take a leak. I'm the only one in the men's room. I'm going about my business when in walks a woman! I say, "Do you have the right restroom?"

(S)he says, in a baritone voice, "Yes I do," walks into a stall and shuts the door.

Stunned? You bet I was!!
