Reedsburg, WI (AHN) -- A local elementary school was bombarded with angry comments for instigating a cross-dress day that gave students the option to dress like the opposite sex. The Pineview Elementary School was criticized by the Voice of Christian Youth America, a radio network that attacked the school for telling its students to either dress as an old person or one of the opposite sex, in observance of the school's Wacky Week. The radio network reportedly blasted the school on-air for allegedly promoting alternative lifestyles in allowing students to cross-dress. In observance of Wacky Week, about 40 percent of the students came in dressed up, after notices to parents were sent out, without any complaints being sent back. The theme was reportedly also selected by the students themselves, as the school's way of mixing in "a bit of silliness with our reading, writing and arithmetic," said principal Tammy Hayes, according to the Independent Mail. District administrator Tom Benson added that the dress-up day "was not an attempt to promote cross-dressing, homosexuality or alternative gender roles." Ms. Hayes added that it would be the last cross-dress day at the school.
