I'm not wearing THAT

Tomorrow is Colonial America Day in Frances' classroom. She is pretty much mortified that she and her classmates are strongly encouraged to dress up........something like this:

This is how she will dress:

I had a little rant about asking non-white children to dress up like Colonial times. Should Frances' AfAm friend dress up like a slave? Me thinks that there were no Chinese women hanging out in the colonies. A parent emailed everyone suggesting all the girls wear SHOWERCAPS as bonnets!! Frances in a showercap? At school? I don't think so!
