School assembly with guys in skirts!

[KeptByTheWord]

My son texted me today a picture of their Friday assembly. He told me that there were guys in skirts with girls putting makeup on the guys!

Because of all the buzz in the news recently about schools using various means and methods of inserting transgender and homosexual roles into the schools in an effort to make it seem "normal", when I received this text, I assumed that this was happening at my children's school. (I think MTD had posted an article earlier about a school pushing lesbianism.)

It upset me so badly, that I immediately jumped in my car, and headed over to the school. I was hoping to get there in time to get in on the assembly and see what was taking place myself. I didn't make it in time. By the time I got there, the kids were all out on lunch.

So, I walked into the office, and asked the secretary if she could explain to me what the assembly had been about. She told me that because prom was coming up, they were trying to teach the kids that there were other ways to have fun, besides getting drunk, and doing drugs on prom night. Sounded innocent enough.

So then, I asked her why the guys were wearing skirts, and makeup. She looked at me in shock, and said she knew nothing about that. I told her I had received a text from my son, with a picture showing this. She was shocked, and immediately called up the person responsible for putting together the assembly.

This teacher and I had an impromptu visit behind closed doors, and I explained to her my concerns. She tried to ease my concern, by saying that it was all done "in fun". They were trying to show the kids that there were other ways to have fun instead of getting drunk, and doing dope... and this was their example of how to have fun....

I was shocked, and I did let her know exactly how I feel. She, in turn, did not understand the fact that I did not think it was funny. She quickly brushed aside my concerns, and said it was all done in fun, and she really felt no harm was done.

I'm still in shock about this, and the thoughts of the teacher that it is "just a joke".... essentially insinuating with this "joke" that instead of getting drunk or doped up, just go dress up like the opposite sex to have fun????

How would you have responded had you learned this happened at your child's school?
