Boner Candidate #1: HEY KIDS, IT’S GENDER WARS WEEK.
A concerned father in Louisiana is speaking out about the “inappropriate” spirit week themes at his daughter’s middle school in the hopes of raising awareness regarding the style guidelines for young students. Late last week, M.J. Mouton shared an image of the “dress day guidelines” for the weeklong homecoming festivities at his 12-year-old daughter’s middle school in the town of Iowa, which included suggestions for “Stoplight Day,” during which kids were encouraged to wear stoplight-inspired colors to signify their relationship status, as well as “Boys vs. Girls Gender War” day, which encouraged children to wear pink or blue. “Monday is … Wear Red if you are taken. Wear Green if you are single. Wear Yellow if it is complicated,” Mouton wrote on Twitter, in a post that has since been liked over 147,000 times, shared 19,000 times and sparked over 4,000 comments. “She is in middle school. Totally inappropriate. Welcome to Louisiana.”
