      his argument is the new dresscode would allow young girls to dress like that and he thinks the school should police it, instead of just raising his kids to be well adjusted and responsible. or it makes his pp hard and it makes it harder to hide that he’s a pedo when he’s in public

      The goal of people pushing agendas like this is the elimination of public education and state support for religious schools via “charter schools”. A lot of the people who run for school board who push parents rights are religious fundamentalists, real estate developers, or charter school consultants. This is at least true where I live.

      Kind of tangential but towards the end of HS we had this ongoing trend of wearing costumes to school every wednesday. Some of the class participated more often than others, some (including me) barely participated at all.

      There was one week where everyone was determined to participate though, because we had planned for boys to go dressed as girls and vice-versa. I still didn’t really care to join them but some friends of mine said they’d lend me some of their clothes and makeup so I’d have no excuse to not participate.

      What I didn’t anticipate is that they’d dress me up just like the guy in the pic, only difference being that I’m underweight, not overweight. Still looked like a fool though, but that was part of the fun, not some pseudo political statement.

      Anyways, tangent over.

            The statement was “look at how funny it is to wear clothes of the wrong gender. Isn’t it hilarious that a woman could be wearing pants?! Hahahaha”

            Yeah. No thanks

                So you’re saying in the 90s, the “let’s all crossdress at school” was all about normalizing clothing regardless of gender, being inclusive of people’s gender and clothing choices, and and destigmatizing gender non confirming people? It wasn’t because the idea of a boy in a skirt was a concept that should me mocked and thought of as a joke?

                  It was simply a fun tradition. Some people were assholes about it that way, sure, and some people were excited they could finally girlmode or boymode in public for a day, but for most of us, we were just excited for drag day or whatever we called it back then because it was a fun communal activity. Festival atmosphere. We’d plan group outfits with our besties and whatnot. It was great.

          Something awakened in that dad that night. You can see it in his eyes he enjoyed the voyeurism. Since the meeting he’s been seen working alleys and freeway off ramps for tips.

        My high school and middle school would have spirit weeks and such where every day is a different theme. They just couldn’t have pajama day because apparently “some people would take it too far”
