Were 3rd-grade boys asked to dress as girls? The fashion show is off

WHEN JANINE Giandomenico's son explained his school project to her, she dismissed his worries and figured she'd have to fork out a few bucks for poster board, magazines and a glue stick or two.

Then she read the letter that accompanied the project, over and over again, and believes that her son's third-grade teacher at the Maude Wilkins Elementary School in Maple Shade, Burlington County, was asking the class, including the boys, to dress as women during a fashion show for a Women's History Month pro-ject.

This is the same school district that had a teacher teaching kids to sing songs praising President Obama.

One of the parents quoted in the article said:
“Your son is not instantly going to turn gay if he’s involved in a women’s fashion show” ...

No, they’re only planting seeds right now ~

According to the article, this also coincides with that school’s “Day of Silence,” where kids take a vow of silence to protest bullying against those with “diverse” lifestyles.

one loon pervert told me that kids are born homosexual
I said there ios no gene and guess what they are born as men and nature says that men need women in order to reproduce and keep the species alive.

she backed her claim up by saying well she know this boy who plays with dolls and wants make up

I have boys and a girl and I said well does the parents let him, she replied there is no father just a mother and yes she lets him.

There you go then, that is why he is turning into a girl, . Parents are supposed to guide their kids into becoming a man , future husband or a girl future wife.

she had no clue what to say and then I asked her do you have kids, no was her answer.

Parents who let their kids dress up and become something they were not born to be are ruining a child and that child

If they’re going to make boys wear women’s clothing to celebrate Women’s History month, why not have all the kids paint their faces black to celebrate Black History month?

what is this day of silence anyway,
do those kids not say a word all day and if so then what is the point of going to school?
What happens when a child is asked a question by a grown adult or off another child?

Anyway I thought this was supposed to be left in the bedroom, remember those days we was always told it is their own prive life and kept in the bedroom.

Well not anymore and the GOP should be talking about how the left and the homosexuals are destroying childrens lives.
I still do not understand as to why the loon left hates looking at kids as boys and girls

Yes they do plant the seeds. They know very well what they are doing under the guise of “education”. I home school my kids because I don’t want to deal with this crap.

I'm raising a nine year old boy. They know too much at his age these days. In accordance I pull no punches. If he asks a question or if I sense a question I confront it head on. "Yes, gay means two guys. No it is not ok...it is disgusting and don't let anyone tell you it isn't."

That said, I also closely monitor goings on at school and carefully review all his assigned reading. We live in a fairly liberal-voting area but I have to admit that I've not seen any messages slipping into the curriculum. In fact every year there is a project to give things to the Vets at the local hospital.

the EXCUSE comming out now is the BS about some woman’s history month.

HOWEVER the crossdressing event was on the same day as the day of silence homosexual event. IOW you submit to sexual abnomalities or stay home.

I would submit parents sent their children to school wearing red,white, and blue.

Doesn’t it say somewhere in the Bible that males should not dress as females and vice-versa? Maybe people should refuse on religious grounds.

To start with, it appears that the loony school and it’s loony 3rd grade teacher, lacking the ability and intelligence to create a true academic environment, used Women’s History Month as an excuse to have a fashion show (oh wouldn’t it be grand!!!!).

They had this at our public school, just before I pulled my kids out. The protesting students refuse to speak, even if an adult teacher speaks to them. This is supposed to symbolize how bullied individuals (code for homos) have no voice.

The schools say they are powerless to prevent this, since it is a student led protest. Ironically, it’s deemed to be “free speech.” Our courts have forced the schools to let these student groups meet on school grounds, and they come in and influence the kids, even if the parents don’t approve.

We all have our own agenda. Mine is to raise Christian kids. Since my values have been removed from the schools, I have to pay extra to have my children educated as I see fit. The same should hold for these people. If they want their “alternative” agenda taught to their own kids, they should have their own schools, and be forced to pay extra for them.

There’s another simple solution which would mitigate the damages, but it’s not perfect. All schools, both public and private, should adopt an attitude that only parents of current students have standing to request that their student groups meet on their school grounds. That requirement would be politically neutral, but would keep a lot of these groups out. Most of the people starting these groups have no skin in the fight. Many of the current organizers don’t even have kids in the schools.

Sneaky attempt to feminize American boys by the feminazis in public schools.

Sometimes I think teachers are teaching to girls, that they have lessons that are designed to appeal to girls and turn off boys. Boys don’t do as well in school, are getting more feminized, and are attending college in smaller and smaller numbers. This type of project doesn’t help. I noticed that a lot of girls were protesting that the project was cancelled because they wanted to wear their dresses that they made.

Sommers’ book “The War Against Boys” talks about this kind of stuff. There is a deliberate movement in education aimed at deprogramming boys because feminists consider maleness evil. I hope the mother in the story — as well as many others with kids in the school — decides to homeschool.

Bingo. The goal is to bring down boys. Our entire system of teaching is slanted against the learning style of boys. For example, boys learn best while moving and not while sitting still and being quiet like girls.

Also, girls learn well while working in cooperative groups, whereas, boys are more competitive and work better on their own. Today, the big thing is to place the kids into groups to work.
