And the continued degeneration of the world we live in continues. how this even was given the green light with out others raising complaint beggars belief and the opening statement of the article is a right Perla, a pedophiles wet dream I would imagine. . .
An American school has been forced to axe a cross-dressing fashion show featuring eight-year-old boys in women's clothing.
Boys were told they could wear clothes including skirts and high heels
Parents in New Jersey were sent letters telling them their boys must wear female clothes - suggesting cheerleader outfits and poodle skirts
:sicko
The show at Maude Wilkins Elementary School was supposed to mark Women's History Month, but sparked outrage from some mums.
"My son was very upset," said Janine Giandomenico. "He said, 'Mommy, please don't make me do this.'"
Stacy Bowen, a mother of two young children, added: "I was just so outraged. I find it completely alarming that a school would do this."
If your child is a young man, he does not have to wear a dress or skirt, as there are many time periods where women wore jeans, pants and trouser. However, each child must be able to express what time period their outfit is from.
An excerpt from the pack sent out to parents.
In a 16-page pack sent home with students, teacher Tonya Uibel informed parents that all students in her third grade class would have to participate in the activity.
The bundle included suggestions of how students may dress, including fashions from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
There were also photographs of fashion icons like Twiggy and Madonna.
"If your child is a young man, he does not have to wear a dress or skirt, as there are many time periods where women wore jeans, pants and trouser," the pack said.
"However, each child must be able to express what time period their outfit is from."
After objections students have now been asked instead to draw a picture of a person dressed in clothing from a specific era.
In a letter to parents head teacher Beth Narcia informed parents that the show, which was to be videotaped, had been cancelled.
She apologised for "any confusion or frustration" the assignment may have caused. Yeah that's going to make the whole situation better isn't it dear.
