Not that there is anything wrong with it...

One of the more bizarre stories I've read in a while.

REEDSBURG, Wis. (AP) - An elementary-school event in which kids were encouraged to dress as members of the opposite gender drew the ire of a Christian radio group, whose angry broadcast prompted outraged calls to the district office.

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."

Strikes at the heart and core of Biblical values? Acceptance and love? hmmmmm...

I remember a couple of Halloweens in grade school where a couple kids dressed like girls or visa-versa. There's nothing wrong with it, it's all for fun and laughs so why are (Talk-show radio) Christians going after this?

Because they're renowned for overreacting to things such as the Passion of the Christ movie, the Golden Compass movie and any other pointless pop culture reference that "supposedly" defaces God.

Here's an idea, maybe concentrate on helping others instead of worrying if a grade-schooler puts on a dress as a joke. Seriously, the thought that they'll be influenced by this in a negative light is like saying a girl will get pregnant if she kisses a guy or the sun revolves around the Earth.

Religious ignorance.
