Note to boys in the tiny Spurger school district: Put away those high heels and pleated skirts. Instead, wear black boots and Army camouflage to school Wednesday.

A parent's concerns prompted the district 150 miles northeast of Houston to scrap its annual "TWIRP Day" -- when boys dress like girls and girls dress like boys-- in favor of "Camo Day."

(Note -- oinline article has different headline than print article, I used the print headline)

Yes, we Texans live in a very special place -- a real short yellow bus kinda place.

Ahh, the tyranny of One.

3. Hooray,

more "violence is good sexuality is bad" messages from the Right. Although the Camo Day replacement could be a very subtle message from the school.

6. one parent?

One busybody complains, and the whole thing is cancelled? Years of tradition abandoned because of one complaint?

And they replace it with "Camo Day"? One, that's boring. Two, why in super-Christian mom so happy the school is now "pushing an agenda" of violence and militarism?

9. "Cross dressing" = the blood of insurgents.

Spices up any hypocrisy. Try new Cool Ranch-style Righteous Indignation!
