That doesn't mean it's appropriate as a high school musical.

Some teens are having sex. That doesn't mean we should celebrate and promote it at school.

So no to Grease and west side story!

They don’t have drag queens.

WSS has a tomboy.

Obviously not the same thing.

You said we should not promote sex.

Grease has sex and drugs, west side has sex and gangs.

Do you want to promote that with teens?

Our school did grease a few years ago. They skipped the pregnancy scare subject and there was no depiction of smoking.

Now that sounds reasonable! Bravo!

You’re clearly grasping at straws. Keep drag queens away from schools please.

Have any of you furious with the schools choice ever seen the show? It's actually about a shop/store that had hand made shoes forever, and when mass industrialization came along and people could get cheap shoes, they were going to go out of business. People would have lost jobs and livelihoods.

Happenstance (I think a mugging?) Leads the shoemaker to a drag queen who explains the mass produced shoes don't work for males (center of gravity is different), and the shoe store begins to make shoes that work for the drag queens. Store stays open (rather than selling the building to the highest bidder which would have made the owner rich and screwed all the long-term employees), people stay employed, drag queen get sturdy shoes [boots] where the heels don't break off as they dance. It's a win-win-win

Our former President is on trial for paying off a porn star and was convicted of sexual assault. Half of the country could care less. So I think it’s ridiculous that some boots are offending you…

Males shouldn’t be in boots with heels and dancing. Gross.

Do you think Grease is inappropriate? Or do you think teens should have sex, smoke and change their whole personality for a bit?

Are you really going to equate Grease with a play called Kinky Boots (the name alone is inappropriate) and featuring a prominent pair of hooker shoes? The raciest thing in Grease was a motorcycle jacket.

I did not say it offended me. I said it seems inappropriate for a high school and its principal. I don't know what the play is about, but a pair of obviously kinky boots, with the prominent name Kinky Boots on a sign, and the principal wearing a pair, is just plain inappropriate. Whatever the subject matter of the play, that image alone clearly endorses some things that schools don't endorse (i.e. prostitution).

I think the post was inappropriate for a principal, but I think males dancing in those boots is actually more appropriate than the principal putting them on. It suggests a whole different thing.

With a four speed on the floor they'll be waiting at the door
You know that ain't no sh!t, we'll be getting lots of tit

With new pistols, plugs, and shocks, I can get off my rocks
You know that I ain't bragging, she's a real pus$y wagon

You are supreme, the chicks'll cream for grease lightning

Prostitution? Where are you coming up with that?

They should just do Flower Drum Song or South Pacific.

I am not getting the connection between boots and prostitution either.

I'm curious if people who are upset by this have a similar reaction to Shakespeare. Romanticizing suicide and statutory rape seems like a much bigger issue than romanticizing a style of footwear.
