HS principal and kinky boots

[Anonymous]

Very ugly boots, and I love thigh-high boots.

If you allow Kinky Boots as a performance in a school, then you should have no issue with an administrator drumming up interest in the student-acted show.

It's a great show about acceptance... love this!

Now--after all the kids have worked so hard is the time to enjoy the performance. The principal is showing school spirit and support.

I mostly agree, but she doesn’t need to be in stripper boots to show support. Simply standing in front of the poster and saying “get your tickets” would have been fine.

Strippers don't wear boots.... you think they wear what julia roberts wore ... lol, you so silly.

Ok. It doesn’t matter. Still not appropriate for school.

This is all fine. Everyone just be cool please.

Ok, everyone should comply because you say so.

It's a free world, don't go, don't let your kids go, but don't push your small minded ideologies on everybody... especially when you support Grease and country music (which is 90% geting drunk and stalking your ex)

I should remind you that we are talking about a public school here, which should be offered to all kids, and should not discourage families because of some controversial ideologies.

So no Grease, since kids are getting pregnant and smoking?

Are you obsessed with Grease or something?

Just no to drag queens period in schools.

I'm on your side we need to ban Grease - sex/drug, west side story - gangs, Hairspray - DEI,

I'm with you girl!

What is WestPo?

This sums up the problem with this discussion. People who know nothing, with no stake in the community, fomenting right-wing culture war talking points just because a principal borrowed a costume piece for a funny photo.

Moms for Liberty et al are a bigger threat to public schools than this pic OP.

I also think a principal in stripper boots isn't appropriate either. Also cringe.

100% this. Kids don’t need to be exposed to drag queens at all. No place for it in schools.

What other groups of Americans do you think high schoolers should not be exposed to? Just for reference.

As a woman, I find drag queens offensive. They use hyper sexualized clothing and makeup to imitate and exaggerate females for humor and entertainment. It is degrading.

Please stop co-opting feminism to mask your bigotry. Thank you.

These responses are refreshing. I was holding my breath for all the “oh the horrors/FCPS sucks” responses.

Ironic that Chantilly is doing Anything Goes now -- the title song lyrics written in the early 1930s are not tame!

Cmon people -- it's good theater!

Times have changed
And we've often rewound the clock
Since the Puritans got a shock
When they landed on Plymouth Rock
If today, any shock they should try to stem
'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock
Plymouth Rock would land on them

In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
But now, God knows anything goes

Good authors too who once knew better words
Now only use four-letter words
Writing prose
Anything goes

If driving fast cars you like
If low bars you like
If old hymns you like
If bare limbs you like
If Mae West you like
Or me undressed you like
Why, nobody will oppose

When every night the set that's smart
Is intruding at nudist parties in studios
Anything goes

When the Missus Ned McLean, God bless her
Can get Russian reds to yes her
Then I suppose anything goes

When Rockefeller still can hoard enough money
To let Max Gordon produce his shows
Anything goes

The world has gone mad today
And good's bad today
And black's white today
And day's night today
And that gent today
You gave a cent today
Once had several chateaux

When folks who still can ride in jitneys
Find out Vanderbilts and Whitneys
Lack baby clothes
Anything goes

When Sam Goldwyn can with great conviction
Instruct Anna Sten in diction
Then Nana shows
Anything goes

When you hear that Lady Mendl standing up
Now does a handspring landing upon her toes
Anything goes

Just think of those shocks you've got
And those knocks you've got
And those blues you've got
From those news you've got
And those pains you've got
If any brains you've got
From those little radios

So Missus R, with all her trimmin's
Can broadcast abed from Simmons
'Cause Franklin knows
Anything goes

Calm down, Gladys.

Ugh those boots look more like bondage boots, which I guess is a form of kink.

I would be creeped out if this was my kids principal.

Pictures speak for themselves.
Some of you might be ok with it, some of you might not.

Seriously this is your complaint-get a job.
