from an AP story . . .

A homecoming tradition in which boys dress like girls and vice versa in a tiny Texas school district won't be held Wednesday after a parent complained about what she regarded as the event's homosexual overtones. . . .

. . . Delana Davies, 33, said she complained after reading a school notice about "TWIRP Day." Davies, whose 9-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter attend Spurger Elementary, said she viewed the day not as a silly Homecoming Week activity, but rather something related to homosexuality.

"It's like experimenting with drugs," Davies said. "You just keep playing with it and it becomes customary. ... If it's OK to dress like a girl today, then why is it not OK in the future?"

Phone: (409) 429-5152
Fax: (409) 429-3770

Spurger Independent School District (Call the school superintendent.)
Phone: (409) 429-3464

That's just sickening. They're children for Jah's love!

If it's OK to dress like a girl today, then why is it not OK in the future?

OK, I'll bite. Why the Hell not?

As a substitute for "TWIRP Day," the schools ranging from elementary to senior high decided to hold "Camo Day" -- with black boots and Army camouflage to be worn by everyone who wants to participate.

Great so instead of CDs we have little army men. And women. *shades of Hitler Youth...*

This is the same excuse for thinking that gets Halloween banned as Satanic. If it were reported that these folks rounded up all the left-handed people in their community and stoned them, well, I wouldn't be a bit surprised. Add this God-forsaken podunk to my list of places that I wouldn't get within a hundred miles of. These people would lynch Father Christmas!

Hmm! I never knew such a thing existed , although I remember our entire class crossdressed on a school camp when I was 14 , it was a lot of fun.

We have " bad hair day " , " pyjama day " , teddybear day , etc, etc in Aus schools , maybe we could take up CD day
