Bobby, put that blouse down.

According to CNN, a Texas mom is afeared of evil elementary school crossdressing and takes action.

TWIRP, which stands for "The Woman Is Requested to Pay," was hosted by Spurger schools for years during Homecoming Week -- to give boys and girls a chance to reverse social roles and let older girls invite boys on dates, open doors and pay for sodas.

Plano-based Liberty Legal Institute issued a news release Tuesday reporting that it "came to the aid of a concerned parent" over an "official cross-dressing day" in the school district 150 miles northeast of Houston.

"It is outrageous that a school in a small town in east Texas would encourage their 4-year-olds to be cross-dressers," Liberty Legal Institute attorney Hiram Sasser said in the release

Tanner T. Hunt Jr., the school district's attorney, called Sasser's statement "inflammatory and misleading." He said the district never planned or conducted a "cross-dressing day."

"They are a tiny little East Texas school district," Hunt said. "It never occurred to them that anyone could find anything morally reprehensible about TWIRP Day. I mean, they've been having it for years, probably for generations, and it's the first time anybody has complained."

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?"

What hijinx instead? Cant the kids have any fun?

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.

Hmmm. perhaps it is like experimenting with drugs. Do the kids sign a pre-enlistment contract?

People are constantly telling me that I am too judgemental, too critical, but damn people...

Maybe she'd like one of my new patented rodeo belt buckles*.

......All I could think of was

Except with it's actually worse....it's got this twisted backward homophobic macho morality thing....about something designed to promote understanding....incredible, the world never ceases to amaze me.

I'll bet that mom wouldn't have been so 'offended' if she hadn't been societally told to be offended by it.

Me? I'd write it off as a second Halloween, a day where you can dress up and be anything and NO ONE SHOULD CARE.

"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."

Do the kids get to bring semi-automatic weapons and hand grenades, too? After all, if they want to encourage this, the costumes should be "authentic." If it were my kid, I'd prefer the TWIRP thing over this camoflage crap. Silly.

This is a perfect example of the newly prevailing state of Conservative extremism in this country. Unabated homophobia is absolutely okay, and it is more acceptable to dress your kids as little bullet catchers than it is to have them act silly in the tradition of Milton Berle, Monty Python and J. Edgar Hoover.

What country and I living in, again? The Christian States of America, is it?

Yes--on both counts.

To put everything in perspective -

Hollywood tough guy Charles Bronson had a rather non-macho childhood. His family was so poor that he had to wear his sister's hand-me-down dresses to school.

...and he was no sissy.

Ultra conservatism suck, but the so does ultra liberalism.

I never got why the Christians get so worked up over cross dressing, most preists seem to do it. And drab ugly numbers at that. Then again have you seen some of the Vegas style Mardi gras rejects the gay pride parades get?

Sounds like this woman needs a few hours with a real man, or a rather dominat woman one.

This has been an attempt at equal time insulting. Beats the hell out of PC bullsh*t anyday.

Either way the girls can be tough and kick some Sadie Black Hawkins Down ass.

I hope they're getting those little girls out of pants and into dresses, too.

.....get drunk, make the first move, and the second, get the kids jeans off, show the big "O" face in the back seat, make a mess, and drop them off before 11 to spend the remainder of the evening playing GTA.


What could be better? Equality. What a concept.

Of her mom's stylishly practical minivan instead of her dad's showy girl-catcher sportscar/coupe?

[xoxoxoBruce]

Why are they listening to this woman? Is she speaking for a group? Fuck her, if she doesn't like it she can keep her kids home that day.

No, getting girls out of their pants is also being highly discouraged in the new theocracy. Thank you for playing, though!

Wise entrepreneurs should probably consider investing in a chastity belt business, as they are going to be all the rage real soon.
