School Hires Cross Dressing Substitute for 6th Grade Humanities Class
Sixth graders really didn’t know how to react when they realized the sub they had was actually a man wearing a dress, so they did exactly what you’d expect:
Students said it was obvious that their substitute teacher was a man dressed in women’s clothing and from what we understand, some of the kids had a hard time settling down because they were laughing and making jokes. Some were eventually pulled out of class.
The school said as long as the teacher wasn’t violating the dress code, meaning wearing clothes that were “too short, too tight or low cut,” there’s really no issue.
Interesting. I wonder what would happened if he showed up wearing a cross on his tie.
If you want to know why the middle east isn’t big on democracy, look no further. If one had a ad promoting democracy with such an incident as this,a reaction from muslims of ‘No, thanks’ would be understandable as confused morons considered as other than confused morons and in fact protected as having a fully equal point of view can not be considered as good will ambassadors for our culture. Why not just pick people out of the local insane asylum for teachers?
Why not just pick people out of the local insane asylum for teachers?
I think we have.
Why should the kids in that class feel constained every again to do anything they want to do.
When there are no rules, insanity IS the rule.
You know, I can remember the 50s when grade school was pretty exciting even if boringly “normal” by today’s standards, or non-standards. Most teachers were “normally” female and there was no doubts about their gender, even when the “normal” eight year old was oblivious about the meaning of “sex.” “Normally,” one didn’t encounter someone in drag until years later, until, for example, an elite college sociology class on “deviance.” Apparently today the new elite normal is a-normal, there is no deviance, but a world in which there is supposed to be no normative expectations, so one shouldn’t be surprised when things turn to shit; for our transnational elite “it’s all good.”
I remember when the biggest debate about a teacher’s clothes was whether one aged lady was wearing baggy stockings, or if it was her legs that were this wrinkled.
As a parent, I keep telling myself that moments such as this are teaching opportunities — for me. When my kids come home with stories (none as extreme as this one), I try to use them as launching pads for advancing my values. So far, I’ve been successful, but fighting against a morally corrupt dominant society is really, really tough.
Across the river in Oregon, wearing a cross would be illegal. It’s part of a 1920s KKK-backed law (and one still backed by the ACLU) that prohibits public school teachers from wearing any religious symbols. Most of the law was struck down in Society of Sisters (1924), but that part remains.
