This morning on my way to work, I heard a story on NPR that I thought merited sharing. (WARNING: Now that I’m commuting again, I suspect many future blog entries will start this way!) Essentially, there’s a school somewhere in Texas that has banned what they called a “cross-dressing day” because some local conservatives and parents felt that encouraged homosexuality. Instead, the day was replaced with “camo day,” where students dress in military garb.
By this logic, powder puff games encourage kids to switch teams in more ways than we realized … and the best way to keep your kids heterosexual is to dress them in fatigues and tell them to act like warriors.
{sigh} Sad, isn’t it? Personally, I’ll never forget the yearbook pictures of some of my (male) classmates dressed in skimpy dresses, makeup and pantyhose.
