David Puddy Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Unfortunately, this is not a joke like the I-69 thing. http://www.nbc5.com/irresistible/3925071/detail.html Homosexuality Worries Get School To End Cross-Dressing Day POSTED: 7:54 am EST November 17, 2004 UPDATED: 10:30 am EST November 17, 2004 SPURGER, Texas -- Boys in the Spurger, Texas, school district won't be wearing dresses Wednesday and girls aren't going to be putting on men's suits. That after a parent complained about a dress-like-the-opposite-sex day -- an annual Homecoming week tradition. According to the tradition, boys and girls reverse social roles for one day during homecoming week. It lets the older girls invite boys on dates, open doors and pay for sodas. It also calls for guys to dress like girls -- and girls like guys. However one parent complains the practice has homosexual overtones. School officials call that statement "inflammatory and misleading." The Liberty Legal Institute came to the aid of parent Delana Davies, who was concerned about officially sanctioned cross-dressing. Davies said having boys dress like girls is part of an effort to push a homosexual agenda in public schools. An attorney for the tiny East Texas school district says there's no hidden agenda. He said the dress-up day was just intended to be fun for the kids. Still, the tradition is being scrapped and the district will hold "Camo Day" instead -- with black boots and Army camouflage to be worn by everyone who wants to participate.

RowdyFan42 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 (edited) So they go from Homosexuality agenda to war agenda that seems good lol Indeed. Sounds just like Texas to me. You know, I'm surprised this has happened for so long, considering that this IS Texas we're talking about. CLARIFICATION: I've always seen Texas as "the macho state"... you know, where the men are men and so are the women. That's why it strikes me as odd that a crossdressing tradition had been allowed to survive for so many years.

What is the homosexual agenda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Devil Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Hey.. don't mess with Texas <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Right on! Seriously, though, being a native Texan I remember my high school having a day like this every year and nobody having a fit about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoDevils Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 All it takes is one loon to ruin it for everyone. I see no problem with the students doing this and having fun for one day. No big deal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
