Ms. CASA is missing

CASA of Cowley County is doing an Ark City Trivia Night this month, after years of doing one just in Winfield. Normally in Oct. is the Ms. CASA pageant, roiled in controversy last year after the then-mayor of Ark City spoofed an over-the-top black women with a sexist name, and won the contest!

Apparently they've dropped the event.

CASA is a great organization and the pageant was fun and successful event. But the risks inherent in cross-dressing fundraiser probably make sense to move on to something else.

I think that any time a man dress's as a woman it is sexual harassment to some, just as portraying a racial time line would indicate harassment to others. We live in a difficult time and we have caused it mainly ourselves.
Many times as a forward observer i have seen individuals conditioned to objecting simply because an opportunity presents its self. Much of the mentality in the Midwest follows this self serving conditioning; it delivers a false value of worth and makes the individual feel as though he has power over others.
We are however still protected under the first amendment to express ourselves freely and openly, however there may be repercussions from such a venture.
CASA is not going away and the actions of Mr. Kuhn of last year were meant in fun and spirit of the action, if you were offended by that action I hope you will take a tour in Iraq or Afghanistan and see what true harassment and racial profiling is and forget the petty accusations of your Midwest mentality. Your sorrows are but a speck of lint on a camels butt compared to what real life brings

We don't live in Iraq or Afghanistan Dustin, and we should act how we are expected to. With dignity and respect.
