Yes, start your own RWNJ site please. I am sure it will be a hit! |
Funny how mature language/jokes in other shows was fine but now that it’s a show that has (not even drag queens, but one singular queen.) it’s a problem. Stripping isn’t mentioned, bondage isn’t mentioned, the only time they use the word kinky is when referring to the boots. None of the actors are dressed/ dancing provocatively. I get that some people may be misinformed because they’ve only seen the broadway version(if that…) , but a HIGH SCHOOL version of the show isn’t going to be as mature as the broadway version. Thought that was obvious. |

Cross dressing is also a key part of the the plot of several Shakespeare plays— Merchant of Venice and As You Like It spring to mind immediately— better hope no one is teaching you precious 17 year old that subversive material in AP English Lit. Also assuming you would say these are inappropriate plays to perform in high school? My TJ kid read the Handmaid’s Tale— so ritual rape. We assume that young adults and high school students approaching adulthood can responsibly and appropriately engage with more mature material. The other option being a bubble wrapped life of Christian College to Trad Wife. Your precious Larla is on the road to college and being a legal adult by the time they enter high school. At some point they, and you, need to learn to cope with mainstream books and musicals. Otherwise, they will never be able to cope outside of Liberty and Bob Jones U. Also, if you don’t want your kids near this, don’t let them attend the musical or take drama. The rest of us are tired of pearl clutchers from Mothers of Liberty thinking they can make decisions what on academic curriculum and extracurricular activities can and cannot exist for the rest of our children. Seriously, opt your kid out or send them to a religious private. The rest of us are trying to raise young adults who can function in society and deal with mature themes and ideas in a mature and appropriate manner. As for the parent of the three year old dreading FCPS— report back when your kid is 16. |
What high school? |
Ot not weird and uncomfortable if parents treat it as forbidden fruit (and weird and uncomfortable) rather than stepping back a bit and giving a kid who is headed to college in a year or 2 or 3 some credit and expecting them behave with maturity, rather than blushing and giggling. |
+10000. If you are really a feminist, there are much bigger fish to fry in 2024 than thigh high boots to show support for a drama production. Like women bleeding out in hospital parking lots. Pick a real problem for women to focus on. There aren’t a shortage. And if you know HS drama in FCPS, you know that in most cases drama club/class consists of generally well behaved, nice, creative accepting kids who often trend a bit nerdy and go on to UVA, WM, JMU, VT, SLACs and other decent colleges— where some continue with drama/acting/theater tech as a major or minor and some move on. Seriously, my kids were into band/orchestra, not drama. But, the drama kids were always a great group (and my 2 kids were in 2 different FCPS HSs). Your kid could find much, much worse peers than those putting on Kinky Boots. |
Or you pervs could stop pushing filth on the rest of us. |
key word “high school” |
assuming you actually read the comment, like they said. You don’t have to partake in it if you don’t want to. Nobody is pushing or forcing anything onto you. You are literally proving their point. Some people are more mature than others, and if you can’t handle seeing a drag queen and a couple men in boots then just don’t see the show. LGBTQ people have and will continue to exist in society for a long time, Kinky Boots and its moral of acceptance, is important not just for LGBTQ youth but youth in general. Especially when people (like some of the ones on this page.) can be so uneducated and unaccepting. Existing ≠ Pushing an agenda. |
and what does it say? That the principal knows how to use proper English? Oh noooo basic grammar so woke.!! Grow up. |
so close!! Your poor kids! |
Yeah, No. 1. Not all drag queens wear revealing clothing 2. calling drag makeup hyper-sexualized is the most palpably incorrect statement I’ve ever heard. 3. Drag queens DO NOT exaggerate/mock women, they mock the concept made by society of how women “should” behave. If you don’t get irony, you won’t get drag. And 4. Drag queens actually respect and admire women. Educate Yourself. |
Edgy and deep, just like blackface. |
Except blackface is mockery, drag isn’t. Gender and race are 2 different things. Use your brain. |
