Lawyers dragged in over dress-up
By VANESSA EVERETT

It started as TWIRP Day, in which students swap gender roles, but after a mother contacted a legal organization in protest, the school did a swap of its own and changed it to Camouflage Day.

Spurger Elementary School, a pre-kindergarten through sixth-grade campus, had planned "TWIRP Day" for today as part of the week's homecoming celebration.

-snip-

Delana Davies, mother of a fourth-grader and a preschooler at Spurger Elementary, objected when she got a letter saying that girls could dress like boys and boys could dress like girls for TWIRP Day.

It's like the school was promoting cross-dressing, the 33-year-old nurse said by telephone, and she did not want her children around it.

These are the nuts that we're up against folks. Because you just know that the kids thought this was all about *cross dressing* and other transgender issues. :eyes:

And they're just lucky I'm not a parent in that district with standing, otherwise I'd sue them now over the Camo Day for promoting violence! But that's ok with this woamn... Geeez.

1. I have a problem...

...with schools implying that K-6 kids should look a certain way. So I'd be against "cross-dressing" day for that reason -- implying that there are "girls clothes" and "boys clothes."

5. Well then you really won't appreciate the "masterbation day" parade

Sigh, such a prude. You aren't even invited to the corn cob "stuffing" contest

2. So do all the little girls...

In this district otherwise only wear skirts and dresses? Shouldn't that mom be mad that they are EVER allowed to wear pants?! :eyes:

Because you know little kids think this is all about gender identity, and not the silliness of playing dress-up. Good Grief, Charlie Brown.

4. The first idea was silly, the second revolting.

Whatever.
