The woke crowd will not be happy until everyone is miserable, so it seems. The latest stunt involves girls and their fathers in Hampton Falls.
Lincoln Akerman School’s Parent Teacher Organization canceled the annual Guys & Dolls dance due to concerns over gender inclusivity. The dance was set up so that girls could attend with their father or preferred “date.” That could be their older brother, an uncle, or a guardian.
While this event is separated by gender, it remained open to anyone. But according to the letter sent out by the PTO, they said that they were hearing from families who were “concerned the events, defined by traditional gender roles, were excluding some families.”
“We have families in town that only have two girls, two boys, something multi-gender. Those parents are feeling left out because they only get to go deep sea fishing and not to a dress-up event. The boys had a much different event than the girls did.” PTO Vice-President Candace Cimon
Parents rejected this excuse saying that the dances did not reject anyone who wanted to attend.
PARENTS STEP UP TO THE PLATE
Like a few parents in SAU16, community members began organizing a private dance to take place this year.
Those involved with the local public schools seem unwilling or unable to provide activities that bring joy back into the school year. These father/ daughter dances have provided memories that will bring joy to those who have participated, for years go come. How do I know, because my own daughter has a picture of her and my husband every year they attended the father/daughter dance. Instead of complaining about my sons and I being excluded, I understood the enormous value that the dance has had on her life.
When moms thought of a mother/son dance, it turned out that that was not something the boys really wanted. So some of the moms found other activities they could do with their sons on that same night.
Instead of canceling these events, it’s better to find alternatives.
These are special events in a girl’s life. My daughter chose a song for her father/daughter dance at her wedding, that they used to dance to at the father/daughter dances. Those memories, and that time spent with her father, gave her the love and attention all girls need in their lives.
Stop canceling these joyful events, and find ways to bring more joy into the lives of your sons and daughters. You may have to get creative, but you will create lifelong memories that they will always cherish.
