Reasons for disliking 'Prey And Predator Day' At High School

Dubbed "Prey and Predator Day" , an event was scheduled this week in Crookston High School Minnesota.  As the name suggests, the festivity encouraged students to disguise in hunting camouglages and wear animal prints. Hunting apparels were worn by boys and girls draped the animal print. The concept provoked local people. They found it a disgusting idea for a festival.

After the unpleasant stir caused by the event's name idea among the residents of Minnesota, the name was changed to just “Camo Day” According to Principal Lon Jorgensen, the school’s students did not realize the name’s underlying connotations, adding, “hunting in this area is pretty popular.”

A resident Noyes described the decision as “absurd” and “appalling,” telling the Grand Forks Herald, “Really, in this day and age, you think it's OK to have the mentality of the men as predators and the women as pretty prey?”

Such festivites seem to be in vogue. As quite recently In June, Stuyvesant High School students in New York participated in “Slutty Wednesday” -- albeit not as part of any school-sponsored themed dress-up day. Rather, students of the elite New York City public school were protesting its new dress code, which -- among other things -- banned the exposure of midriffs, visible underwear, shoulders and lower backs.
