Awwwwwwwww. That sounds so adorable and so fun for the kids! They are so young, it’s hardly a gender thing to them.

Too bad those prude parents are making it one.

While the school stressed that the event was voluntary, when parents first received notice of the “Gender Bender Day,” they complained to the principal and the school renamed the event “Switch It Up Day.” The concept of the event, however, remained the same – females would dress like males and males would dress like females.

It seems the administration made it a gender thing, and then retreated. Disliking cross dressing in school aged children hardly seems prudish.

Of course it’s a gender thing to them. No doubt some more brainwashing our children into “anything goes”.
:rolleyes:

I think the choice of using the word “prude” in this context is a perfect example of how proponents of modern culture use language to redefine traditional social values.

From thefreedictionary.com
Word History: Being called a prude is rarely considered a compliment, but if we dig into the history of the word prude, we find that it has a noble past. The change for the worse took place in French. French prude first had a good sense, “wise woman,” but apparently a woman could be too wise or, in the eyes of some, too observant of decorum and propriety. Thus prude took on the sense in French that was brought into English along with the word, first recorded in 1704. The French word prude was a shortened form of prude femme (earlier in Old French prode femme), a word modeled on earlier preudomme, “a man of experience and integrity.” The second part of this word is, of course, homme, “man.” Old French prod, meaning “wise, prudent,” is from Vulgar Latin prdis with the same sense. Prdis in turn comes from Late Latin prde, “advantageous,” derived from the verb prdesse, “to be good.” Despite this history filled with usefulness, profit, wisdom, and integrity, prude has become a term of reproach.

What is the ‘correct’ clothing for males and the ‘correct’ clothing for females? How about a male wearing a kilt? :eek: (Don’t forget “the ladies from hell” [the Black Watch was called that during WWII]) I’ve know one woman that grow up wearing overalls. :eek: 😛 😃
 
and then these children are going to be confused later on in life - there was NO need for a “cross dressing”/“Gender bending” day!
 
Social experiment: Would people react the same way if this was a high school?

I personally don’t see much wrong with the event itself. If it was billed as promoting alternate lifestyles like some people think it was, yeah, that’d be a problem. But as described, it sounds no worse than Cross-Dress Day being a staple for Spirit Week at my high school.
 
A cross-dressing day at an elementary school? I would be astonished, but I am way past astonishment at anything the culture comes up with anymore.
 
Check this out. No offense, but I can’t say that I’ve never disliked being male.

Promoting acceptance of gender identity disorder is cute? Just NO!
 
This is 100% wrong. More agenda-pushing. More homeschooling.

Peace,

…or good private school. With public schools, you just don’t know what you are going to get I’m afraid.
 
Every time I think this country can’t sink any lower, I’m proven wrong.

Again, I feel you guys are reading too much into this. I read no mention of pushing any sort of agenda. It sounds similar to us having Cross-Dress Day in Spirit Week at high school. Just another themed dress-up day. IMO, this is promoting acceptance of GID no more than Hippie Day would promote hippie-ism.
 
Apparently the only people who participated were teachers and staff
 
If, as Catholics, we promote the belief that gender is biological, and we also believe as a matter of common sense that practically everything biological can have some kind of defect of sickness in the fallen world, then why is it so improbable that the natural processes that develop someone’s psychological gender identity can malfunction as well? It’s about as controversial of an opinion as believing that some people can be born with a penis but have two X chromosomes. It’s just another way nature backfires.
