Cross dressing and the draft....

Cross-dressing day' upsets Texas mother
Dallas, Texas

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

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.

"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.

The Plano-based Liberty Legal Institute issued a news release on Tuesday reporting that it "came to the aid of a concerned parent" over an "official cross-dressing day" in the school district 240km north-east of Houston

Nothing like a little nazism to pump up that school spirit, huh??? Preparing them for the draft perhaps?

"A homecoming tradition in which boys dress "

Maybe now an Camo dressed kid with a bloody raggy ann doll missing a leg or two would be OK in Bush's AmericaKKKK.

I'm just waiting for the day a kid who practices Santeria gets to say the prayer before some Texas high school football game.

...and a "dress up like a soldier" day was instituted in its place?

Niiiiice.

if it's more about many kids in Texas owning or having access to camos worn for hunting?

I know from teaching public school in Georgia that many kids grow up hunting and many wear camos to school. That includes rich and poor kids. In Georgia, at least, wearing camouflage doesn't make you a potential soldier any more than wearing dungarees (blue jeans) makes you a sailor.

School dress-up days also have to be organized around easily achievable themes, so you have school spirit days, Fifties days, Sixties days, Punk days, but no Hawaiian days, French Empire days, or Lederhosen days.

However, I don't get the black boots, unless they're in style there now.

Get yourself all dolled up in your most fabulous outfit, and report for duty! :D
