At least one Milwaukee mom won't be sending her child to school on 'Switch It Up Day'

MILWAUKEE – Deidri Hernandez’s seven-year-old son won’t be in school tomorrow, after officials at Tippecanoe School for the Arts and Humanities confirmed they’re still holding “Switch It Up Day” – a time for students to come dressed as members of the opposite sex. Hernandez tells EAGnews the day was originally billed as “Gender Bender Day,” but Tippecanoe officials made the name change after she called Principal Jeffrey Krupar to complain. The Milwaukee mother was not impressed. “I didn’t have a problem with the title. I had a problem with the activity taking place,” Hernandez says. She says it’s “ridiculous” and “creepy” to ask elementary boys to come to school dressed as girls, and vice versa, and predicts that having students dress as “transvestites” will distract from the learning process. Hernandez knows of at least one other parent who shares her concerns and plans to hold her child out of class, too. But it’s the motivation behind “Switch It Up Day” that has Hernandez most concerned. She wonders if it is being done to promote the acceptance of homosexuality to students in school, which runs from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. Hernandez thinks it’s inappropriate to expose young children to these issues, even in a light-hearted manner. “They might as well call it ‘Transgender Day,’” she says. Hernandez says young kids don’t need to know about these issues. According to Hernandez, when she called Krupar with her concerns, she was told the day was chosen by the school’s student council and is only meant to be fun. EAGnews left a message with Krupar's office late this afternoon, seeking his comments. Hernandez also complained to the superintendent’s office, but was told “by someone in the office” that the school wasn’t breaking any rules. Hernandez says she’s “never stepped out like this” to challenge school policy, but decided somebody had to. “Every time something’s bothering a liberal or an atheist, they come forward to complain. And somebody always has a problem with Easter or Christmas,” she explains. Hernandez says her son won’t mind the day off from school, but she regrets that he’s going to miss a day of learning because of the controversy.

Another reason to homeschool.

America was not born by way of the ballot box. It took a motivated minority (patriots) of one third of the population fighting the empire and another one third of the population (loyalists) while the remaining one third stood by and watched. This was not democracy acting. It was a coordinated effort of those who sought freedom.

As it stands now in America the leftists are better organized than the individualists (who by definition are not organized). Home schooling is simply burying your head in the sand. A coordinated effort to fight for freedom is the proven method.

The Tea party is a good start. Much remains to be done. Take over more of the media. Blacklist the leftist loyalists. infiltrate the realm of leftists in government and labor. It's not easy, but a coordinated effort at doing battle takes a lot of work.

Public Schools are child abuse.

Liberals have changed the curriculum to propaganda and immorality and have omitted the ABCs and 123s. Homeschooling and private schools are the only way for parents to get quality education for their child(ren).

Isn’t that what the new “sex positive” classes are telling them anyways?

They may be afraid to make trouble. The nail that sticks up gets hammered down.

I wonder what her Freeper name is?

The squeaky wheel gets the grease, though.

Gender Bender days are nothing new. We did it 8th grade the week before graduation and that was 39 years ago in a Catholic elementary school.

Remember in the 70’s when they wanted to teach in the schools and promised that they would not propagandize the kids? We let them teach and see what’s happening now. The time is here to shut them down!

[Trailer Man]

I swear they are trying to push this gay stuff on our kids. But you can’t pray in the classroom? We as a country are sooooo screwed.

[JimSEA]

Crips, is this a public school? Things have gone far enough already. We have long passed the point of “tolerance” and are rapidly approaching “domination”.

[LibLieSlayer]

Sue the school and every individual involved... drive them into bankruptcy.

Why not have the white kids paint faces and black kids do the same to Switch it Up!
School is not for education anymore, it’s for agenda!
Whatever some Teacher has in their feeble mind is what students are to be subjected to!
I guess Switch it up day could not be Navy Seals and Army Rangers Day in full Combat gear with all weapons??

[ConservativeStatement]

Instead of this, we should be teaching students, I don’t know, um, maybe how to get through a sentence without saying the word “like” so often.

If it was ‘only meant to be fun,’ does that mean they are making fun of transsexuals/gays ? I can’’t imagine that going over too well with GLBT-world.

[LibLieSlayer]

I know and now the Scouts have caved on butt piracy... I am too upset to be able to define it.

It’s actually very sad!

More and more good kids are dropping out of School and getting their GED because of crap like this. The ones I know either go to work or go to the local community colleges and work their way into the University.
