My son’s middle school holds a “twin day” for the eighth graders, part of their graduation celebration. The students dress up as twins, and the best costumes are awarded prizes. Last year, the students who won were two boys who dressed as Moms. They wore lots of ludicrous make up, large t-shirts, and held Starbucks coffee cups. Making fun of how women dress is the height of cleverness and hilarity? I don’t think so. I think that boys making fun of how women look should not be allowed, let alone rewarded. Girls in middle school are self-conscious for so many reasons: they do not the school administration adding to the list.
