Last Friday’s cross-dressing day at a Milwaukee elementary school proved contentious.
The school-sponsored event was one of the theme days during school spirit week at Tippecanoe School for the Arts and Humanities. While the themes for each of the other days were sufficiently milquetoast, Gender Bender Day — as it was originally named — raised a few parental eyebrows.
Members of the school’s student council chose the transvestite theme, reports WITI-TV. The idea was straightforward: boys were encouraged to dress like girls and girls were encouraged to dress like boys.
Deidri Hernandez, the mother a second-grader at Tippecanoe, found out about the plan and complained to the principal, reports EAGnews.org. School officials allegedly responded by saying that the school’s actions were not illegal. At the same time, officials also opted to change the themed day’s name to “Switch It Up Day.”
“I didn’t have a problem with the title. I had a problem with the activity taking place,” Hernandez told EAGnews. In her view, the notion of sponsoring a cross-dressing day at a grade school is “ridiculous” and “creepy.”
“They might as well call it ‘Transgender Day,’” the irate mother opined.
Another parent told WITI that he doesn’t want his son to attend school dressed as a girl.
“I think it’s just teaching them the wrong lesson about gender,” father Sam Ward told the local FOX affiliate. “If you’re a boy, stay a boy.”

There are pluses and minuses. In the process of fixing the obvious problem, a lot of smaller, not so obvious problems get fixed too. Since they have learned their true identities from a purer source than the world, they may seem more restrained than the world; you won’t see wildly lusting stallions, but serious, loving men who have a quiet power about them.
Hey, she ain’t that bad looking either... but she’s clearly not a bull dyke.
100%... it looks like something you'd scrap off of your shoe

Knowing what we do, I’d say this seems to be a fool with a fool’s smirk on his face.
No, she’s a cutie and it comes shining through. Her stance doesn’t look manly though, and I think it’s safe to say it’s a lot harder for a man to wear feminine clothing and still pull of the manly stance.
She’s upholding her end of it, but I don’t see a guy wearing leg warmers and some of these sheer knit shirts these days in layers and pulling off a display of his manhood to success.
If you look at trends in men’s casual clothing, I think it’s hard to miss the decidedly feminine slant to it.
Many women seem to agree, stating they have a hard time finding the ‘real man’ like their dad was.
I do agree you don’t have to wear the lumber-jack look to be a man’s man, but this girl sure proves you can wear that look and still be a steaming hot cutie. :^)
I won't watch the video; I'll take your word for it.
I teach math in a middle school and NOTHING would convince me to come to work dressed as a woman.
In an era when so many of my students come from single-parent homes (particularly single-women homes), men in the classroom are adult role models for boys.
That a male teacher would wear a dress to school, even in the context of "school spirit" is inexcusable.
Okay. That’s good. I haven’t been around this group, so I can’t address what I’ve seen. I am glad to hear your reports.
culture war is hell.
Well, it’s not really new. Poking around www.narth.org has proven very educational to me.
Culture war is, in fact, “hell” trying to consume the work of God. (And God fighting back.)
I have been hearing of groups out there for about 15 years now. I think it’s a great idea. Boy the Left looks at them like a vampire looks at a wooden stake, silver bullet, or garlic.
100%
You can bet they do... it’s one rant that I saw in print complaining about how “horrible” NARTH is, that led me in curiosity to see what happened when I typed in www.narth.com. Bingo! The “insoluble problem” CAN be solved! If anything, I would criticize them (in love) for being too quiet about it, discussing their stuff in their own safe corner rather than getting in the world’s face. The bible mentions the Christians who overcame the evil one “by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” We need more testimony.
Some gutsy student should present a really gross depiction.
Then when challenged, simply respond:
“This IS after all, exactly what you’re promoting, isn’t it?”
‘The principal is gay.’
Like a 3 dollar bill.
Sound reasonable. I agree...
The bible has a way of telling us very wise things, if we will get its bigger picture and use it as a lamp, not a club.
