| School's "cross-dressing" day is "too gay"
| Quote: |  | | | HOUSTON (Reuters) - Camouflage was in and cross-dressing was out at a rural East Texas school district after a Christian legal group complained a long-standing school tradition of reversing social roles for a day would promote homosexuality.
Students in Spurger, Texas were encouraged by school officials to wear camouflage hunting gear to class after they called off their annual "TWIRP Day" in which boys dressed as girls and vice versa. The cross-dressing tradition began some years back as a kind of Sadie Hawkins Day where girls ask boys to go out on dates.
TWIRP stands for "The Woman Is Requested To Pay."
But Delana Davies, who has two children in the Spurger school, complained this year that the tradition could promote homosexuality and got the Liberty Legal Institute, a right-wing Christian legal group, to take up the cause.
"It might be fun today to dress up like a little girl -- kids think it's cute and things like that. And you start playing around with it and, like drugs, you do a little here and there (and) eventually it gets you," Davies told reporters on Wednesday. "It is outrageous that a school in a small town in east Texas would encourage their 4-year-olds to be cross-dressers," institute litigation director Hiram Sasser said. | | | | | http://uk.news.yahoo.com/041118/80/f6ums.html

One of this woman's children will wake up in a few years, walk down to the garage, grab a hatchet and give her a few whacks.
What a looney!

Fitting, considering the pending time he'd spend behind bars.

In the dark ages when I was going to school we didn't even have Sadie Hawkins Day because "L'il Abner" wasn't that popular a comic strip yet. But local civic clubs could always earn a few bucks, and give us a lot of laughs, with "womanless weddings," in which men played all the roles. Maybe the school ought to explore that angle. I know it made us roll in the aisles to see the mayor make the grand entrance as a bride.
