Christian group protests school “cross dressing” event

Good thing we have the Voice of Christian Youth America looking out for our elementary school children, because we all know that if a 4th grade boy puts on a wig he’ll immediately be INFECTED WITH THE GAY.

Students at Pineview Elementary in Reedsburg had been dressing in costume all last week as part of an annual school tradition called Wacky Week. On Friday, students were encouraged to dress either as senior citizens or as members of the opposite sex.

A local resident informed the Voice of Christian Youth America on Friday. The Milwaukee-based radio network responded by interrupting its morning programming for a special broadcast that aired on nine radio stations throughout Wisconsin. The broadcast criticized the dress-up day and accused the district of promoting alternative lifestyles.

“We believe it’s the wrong message to send to elementary students,” said Jim Schneider, the network’s program director. “Our station is one that promotes traditional family values. It concerns us when a school district strikes at the heart and core of the Biblical values. To promote this to elementary-school students is a great error.”

Schneider co-hosts “Crosstalk,” a nationally syndicated call-in Christian radio show.
After the program aired, both the school and Reedsburg School District office were flooded with calls complaining about the event.

    America the beautiful has a dark ugly side. NARROWMINDEDNESS. It’s a debilitating dis-ease and tends to inflict the middle of this country. I’m sick of the ignorance of the Christian right who demonstrate just how wrong they can be about so-called family values and promoting alternative lifestyles. One would think, love and being loving, gay,str8, whatever would be a higher calling. Instead we have to contend with their pathetic and ignorant mentality…. a a result we all suffer. Let the kids dress up and see life from another persepective. They’ll open their minds and we’ll all be better for it. Of course the socalled good christians want to keep the little ones as ignorant as they are. Grow Up!

    As a follower of Jesus, I would think that if He were in that school,He would join with the kids and have fun. His main condemnation was for the religious leaders who had to tell others what they were doing wrong. Jesus judges what is in the heart and I’m sure the hearts of the children and teachers were pure. The evil lurks in the hearts of those who see evil in most everything except what they do and believe. “Christians” like these Moral Nazis give Christianity a bad image. When are school administrators going to stand up and tell these people to jump in a lake and continue having fun. I hope and encourage the kids to continue with their Wacko Days.
