I bet someone in the CM school system bought hundreds of copies.

Way to go. Wear a dress to school and you will not be bullied. Write your own death warrant. You'll be treated fairly in every grade. These Liberals think we live in a fairy tale world. Even the little girls would give you a good drubbin. The biggest daily decision you'll have to make is which bathroom your going to hide in at recess.

This fake controversy will end up "costing" us millions.


Just what/who is pushing this crap in our largest cesspool?

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools system in North Carolina was going to use a book about a boy who likes to wear dresses as part of a first-grade lesson on what to do when someone is bullied.

But school administrators this week pulled the book, "Jacob's New Dress," after critics complained about its content.

The book came under fire from the North Carolina Values Coalition, a conservative group that promotes "pro-family positions," according to its website.

Tami Fitzgerald, the executive director of the coalition, said that no notice was given to parents about the book and that it was sprung on teachers only days before it was supposed to be used.
