Parents have complained that a Wisconsin elementary school is promoting homosexuality through its ‘Gender Bender’ theme day.
As part of the Milwaukee school’s ‘Spirit Week’ pupils from kindergarten to eighth grade were encouraged to dress like the opposite sex.
But parents described the voluntary event as ‘ridiculous’ and ‘creepy’, fearing it would encourage homosexuality among children.
Sam Ward, who has a child at the school, told Fox News 6<:’I think it’s just teaching them the wrong lesson about gender. If you’re a boy, stay a boy. You shouldn’t have something like that at school.’
Other parents chose to keep their children at home rather then send to Tippecanoe School for the Arts and Humanities on the theme day last Friday.
One mother, who asked not to be named, said she had no problem with teenagers having a fun day dressing like the opposite sex, but her seven-year-old son had been confused by the event.
The voluntary theme day, which features at other schools too, came in the same week as Boy Scouts of America overturned a ban on gay members.
