HS principal and kinky boots

Anonymous
The fact that this principal has put pronouns in the school's official Twitter account says a lot.

I am not sure which is funnier/sadder/more disturbing/more pathetic:

a) The people who are angry because the show has drag queens in it;
(b) The people who are angry because the principal is wearing thigh-high boots (over jeans!!!); or
(c) The people who are angry because the title of the play includes the word "kinky."

I think it's (c), but it's close, and I'm willing to consider alternatives.

Will be so glad when pronoun fad goes away. It is interesting that inanimate objects (schools) have joined the pronoun brigade. Perhaps we are at the point where we have jumped the shark.

Why are you so obsessed with introducing these things in public schools where a substantial portion of families find them inappropriate and offensive?
You are free to take your kid to drag shows if you think that's best for them, but why expose other kids to this against their families' will?


It's kind of adorable that you think that high school students are not aware of drag, are not aware of "kinky" (the word or the things). Do you not speak to your children at all? Because, I assure you, they already know about these things and (in your opinion) worse things than that.

But, more to the point, this is an OPTIONAL activity. Don't go. Don't let your kids go. But for those of us grown up enough to talk to our kids and recognize art in various forms, you can kindly stfu about and let us attend.

Your the only one obsessed.

I want my kids to know about everything in their education. It's called education. It's unimaginable that you think it's offensive but are okay with plays with teens that drink and have sex or are in a gang.

You can't erase people, if you would like to keep your kids home.

You should go see it and get educated. You sound completely uneducated.


No, you are obsessed.
If you want to give your kids far-left education because these are the values you believe in, you are free to do so.
Same as I'm free to give my kids our values as well.
But a public[u] school should be a neutral ground and not home to controversial ideologies.
What would you say if some crazy far-right weirdo principal was taking his/her photo-shoot in maga costumes? Would you then take your kid home?


NP: MAGA is a political movement, with policies that would impact both myself and my children. This is a musical that I can choose to not attend.

Most middle school students are aware of pornography. That doesn't make it okay to expose them to it. This "it's okay because they already know" argument is clearly terrible.

Also, odds are there is at least one student who isn't aware of what those words mean.

I swear the right is getting more puritan. My
school did Gypsy complete with the lead actress dropping a dress strap and blacking out the lights to depict stripping and this was in the year 1990.

Parents would absolutely protest if they were upset. Nova parents have zero qualms about speaking up on any topic. The biggest tell is that there simply isn't any mass protest or vehement objection.

No, we don’t discuss “kink” or drag queens in our home.

Was it optional when the principal was strutting around?

Was it optional when the schools started promoting it and the school community became aware of it?

Inclusivity is constantly looking for next thing to include as what was excluded becomes normal.

Kids are aware of blackface too, does that mean it’s fine if the school puts on a production of that type? Just don’t go if you like it?
