An American school has been forced to axe a cross-dressing fashion show featuring eight-year-old boys in women's clothing.

Parents in New Jersey were sent letters telling them their boys must wear female clothes - suggesting cheerleader outfits and poodle skirts

The show at Maude Wilkins Elementary School was supposed to mark Women's History Month, but sparked outrage from some mums.

"My son was very upset," said Janine Giandomenico. "He said, 'Mommy, please don't make me do this.'"

Stacy Bowen, a mother of two young children, added: "I was just so outraged. I find it completely alarming that a school would do this."

In a 16-page pack sent home with students, teacher Tonya Uibel informed parents that all students in her third grade class would have to participate in the activity.

That’s funny. You were a resourceful and brave little boy. :)

It’s amazing to me that these types can’t even fathom that people would dare defy their mandates. I wouldn’t even consider dolling up my little boy to go to school, no matter what a letter from a teacher said.

Heck, I can write letters, too. It’s no big deal, really. just a piece of paper - the only force it has is the respect one would have for the author.

There’s an adult page on ebay? Really? How do you find it? Ebay is usually pretty restrictive about things like handguns and ammunition but not on adult stuff?

Our football players did the same thing 55 years ago for a Senior Assembly for a big guffaw. Balloons under sweaters and mops on heads were de regeur. But, as another poster commented, it was VOLUNTARY and the participants were older -- not impressionable 8 year olds.

Look under "everything else" on the list of Ebay catagories. There is an Adults Only sub catagory.

It's my opinion that "gay" supporters spend a lot of time ignoring just what homosexuals actually do to each other. I feel that if someone wants to be identified by their sexual desires, they should be willing to admit to what they do to themselves and others.

I spent some time researching on the Web, before my gag limit maxed out. Ebay "adults" was one of the things I found.

The Lib rationalization is that "love" doesn't hurt, guns do. I suppose that's why there is such a market for sexual toys like handcuffs and whips...

This is child abuse. Change your lives so you can escape government schooling.
