Drag queen assembly?

| My kids school is having an assembly and the speaker is a drag queen. No idea if they will be showing up in drag, performing or just talking about their career as a drag artist but this feels inappropriate to me. Middle schoolers will be there (11-13 years old). Yes, I’m old but am planning to make sure my kid has a dentist appointment that day. I can’t be the only one who thinks this is a little odd, right? And somewhat performative? |

| No big deal. DD and I met a drag queen on the train once and they got into a conversation about books and music. DD has not become a drag queen. |

| Drag queens are so fun, I can’t believe that any of the people who freak out about them have ever met one. |

| I get the concern because there was a Kabuki demonstration at an assembly in my elementary school and it gave me nightmares. |

| Yes , drag queens are performative. That's entirely the point. What's wrong with drag queens? |

What are you actually worried about?
I’m worried about being shot at school. A drag queen won’t harm me. —teacher |

| Why on earth would they hire a burlesque dancer to speak at a school? |

My kids saw an puppet show at school once. It was totally performative. All performance arts are. Why is that an issue? |
