Pittsylvania Co., VA - A Pittsylvania County school is being sued, accused of forcing a young boy to dress like a girl. The Twin Springs Elementary student claims school officials made him wear red fingernail polish, red lipstick and a hairbow, while attending classes.
The 5th grader says he was required to be referred to as "Mattie the new student." According to court documents, school officials deny all charges. We'll have much more on this story on the Night Team.
LOL! I have a really hard time buying this kid's story, but after reading and learning from things posted here, I would not be too surprised if it turns out to be true. We will have to wait and see. Perhaps the other students did this to him and the teachers ignored it, or he just made this up.
It's sad that you blame this little boy but not surprising.

That's hilaryous. He always looks that way. The only thing different from her natural look is her make-up. She wears flesh-tone make-up to make her look white, after all she is the first black first lady of the U.S.
That's my first thought. Does this school have a "tolerance" program? How about transgender guest speakers and one-on-one counseling to "discover the true sexual orientation" of the students? Heck... in California they are busing students to Gay parades and showing videos (essentialy soft gay porn) without parental notification.
Many here might not realize how far this agenda has progressed across the country and infiltrated the school system. I don't know if there is any truth to this particular story. But I DO know enough about what is going on to not dismiss it immediately.
If this is true, and he were my kid, I'd smack him up the side of the head for letting some jerk school official do that to him.
But I don't believe it's true. I'm sure it's all a misunderstanding. Oh, well, it will all come out in court -- kaching, kaching.
One more reason for good parents to sacrafice to be able to afford to put you child in private or home school. My ex-wife took my daughter out of private school because she claims she can't afford it. She averages 3 big vacations a year. This year they are planning to go to Hawaii and their HOUSE IS WORTH $300,000.SHE CAN'T AFFORD IT AND THIS IS AFTER I PAY $300 IN CHILD SUPPORT!!!....sorry for yelling I'm o.k. now.
Wow! For once something like this didn't happen in California.

Okay....... taking this slowly......why do you think I'm blaming the little boy and that's not surprising to you?
BTTT
yes.
People read to much into stuff. Commonsense should rule ALAYS.
More great journalism. The reporter obviously hasn't spoken with any of the parties involved in the case and took the little bit of information in the article from the court documents. It just leads to speculation and doesn't answer any questions at all.
Are you series?
nope not ?series?, but....... serious. A little time in cell block none 9 would do him good.
This doesn't sound right.
oh, wow...this is hugh!
I am skeptical. I can't even see them making a girl wear red fingernail polish, red lipstick and a hairbow. But it should not be too hard to get to the truth. If he really had to dress like this in classes, there will be quite a few witnesses
I suspect this is a tolerance program of some kind.
Last year many California schools forced kids to pretend to be Muslims for a week, read up on the Qran and Muslim prayers, and so on.
I can well imagine some nutjob telling the boys to come in on Tolerance Day in dresses, so they will understand that cross dressing is perfectly normal and that they shouldn't tease any of the LGBT students.
Whether the kid could have gotten out of this by taking the correct route, I don't know. But I really can't blame him or his parents for blowing their stacks. IF this is what happened.
There's an awful lot of this stuff around. I just happened to walk by the Harvey Milk school in NY the other day, and they have those stickers up saying this is an LGBT SAFE ZONE. And just a few days ago, I noticed that one of my colleagues at NYU has a sticker on her door saying that this is an LGBT SAFE ZONE, and that she had taken the course in sensitivity training which is required before you can put up that sticker. Bizarre. As if people were shooting down LGBT students in the street, and they could duck into these refuges to be safe.
I think I found a place for this young ma..I mean young person.
