I heard about this from the Radio 4 news this morning
www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-manchester-31760713
His mother was interviewed, saying that the school was wrong to ban him from the Book Fair.
I'm gob-smacked about it - what idea of moral standards does it pass on to children, what attitude towards women? Glad the school banned him though.

My GS refused to be the Boy in a Dress! Went as Bart Simpson instead.

We used to have a dressing-up disco on the last night of our school ski trips. Some of the boys dressed up and were made up as women- and a few enjoyed it so much we decided it was time to stop!!!
