As part of Spirit Week, students at Hastings High School in Westchester County, New York, held Cross-Dressing Day. The school administration was not thrilled, asking students to change the theme to "New York Pride Day." From The Journal News:
Cross-dressing students said their freedom of expression was violated and that the prohibition sent the wrong message to transgender students who may want to cross-dress regularly…
Josh McConchie, 16, who wore a pink skirt and high tops, said that "certain students in the school feel it's derogatory towards gays or cross-dressers because they feel we're making fun of them, but actually we're trying to make them fit in."
