No, we werent really much about charity. i guess someone way back (like, late 80s) got upset that the school was doing some kinda charity for something having to do with a disease and they had asked one day at lunch if anyone would like to donate a dollar towards the cause (and you could either give them one, or they could just take it out of your lunch account). they said they put up flyers in school for the few days before, and i guess sent out a letter to the parents through the mail so parents knew.
So the way I was told, some kid did give an extra dollar, and after his mother found out she raised a fit about how the shcool was stealing her money through her child by working programming them (teachers saying it would be nice, but you dont have to) and threatened to sue for her dollar back, plus some much larger money for emotional distress caused by the situation, and i guess she took off a days work to come down (even though the hours she worked she could have worked a full day and still came down, or scheduled a later appointment) so she wanted compensated her money as a server, which she included her "thought to be gained tips".

So yeah, tl;dr, the school doesnt want the headache anymore. Now they just do internal fundraisers. PLus I think if my school did this, the guys (mostly, but some girls would as well) would take it as a challenge to either not come in tos chool, come in without pants, or come in in drag (I would have). And there was a a news story somewhat recently about someone cross dressing and he got in trouble.
