Earlier this year, ABC News reported that over 30 million Americans ages 16 and up were unable to read or write well. This proves what many have said for some time: Illiteracy is an epidemic that is spreading daily, claiming victims of all ages, nationalities and backgrounds.Shadow Play Entertainment, Conversations Book Club, The Write Stuff Literacy Campaign and their literary partners are excited to announce a historic event geared towards sharing the gift of reading and books across the United States under a show of united support in each state. On Saturday, November 21, 2009 between the hours of 10-6p.m., The Write Stuff founder and host Cyrus A. Webb is working with others in scheduling Reading Parties (see

**Twitter Question** (10/20/2009)- Is it acceptable or unacceptable? Men dressing up in women clothes at school, work, etc? Why?

 Tallas @HipHopGivesBack For me it’s an equality matter. It’s like if a man can walk bare chested down a street in NYC a woman should be allowed to as well, so it is kind of the same for working in a skirt or dress, if a lady does, a man should be able to as well. I am all about comfort, and if a man finds a skirt or dress comfortable all the more power to them.

 DanniGyrl @HipHopGivesBack Absolutely not. If it’s a work environment, the dress code should be enforced. That includes not offending those within the business or out. Your personal choices including wearing sheets, heels, etc. should be worn outside of the job.

Sayen_CroWolf @HipHopGivesBack it shouldn’t make a difference. People are far more complex than their clothing.

TruBella @HipHopGivesBack in some settings not appropriate. Work being one of them. yes in some ways it is. But if there are guidelines in certain settings. I.e work they should abide by it.

mskiaustin @hiphopgivesback i dont know it depends on the job. at lease there not in hideing.

Sayen_CroWolf @HipHopGivesBack I was a sales manager at a hotel that booked out a convention of cross dressers. 800 ppl. It takes a lot 2 get used 2 it

md20737 @HipHopGivesBack I think its beyond inappropriate.. its time adults start taking back control..kids dont get to make decisions..if they dont like go to another school that allows it.. simple as that.. school is for learning not pimping etc

educatedgorilla @HipHopGivesBack smh nope nope
