Never been. I've also never been to a cock fight. Have you?
No I’m not interested in animals killing each other. Is that somehow related to this topic?
If they're so innocuous, why wouldn't you take your kids to one?
We have an 'educator' on here who thinks they're great entertainment. Why deprive your kids of that, unless you think there was something wrong with it?
We aren’t talking about children . We are talking about high school kids for the most part, occasionally middle school kids. You’re the one being ridiculous thinking one has anything to do with the other.
Lol. I just picture old men yelling at clouds when half of you post now. No one here is advocating taking kids. But I believe it’s up to the parents. Ya’ll want to let the parents dictate what to learn in school but not whether they can take their own kids to drag shows. Your ignorance on the topic is obvious. Maybe you can explain why Pose and RuPaul’s Drag Show have been highly rated tv shows for years? Oh right. It’s because MANY people find drag shows entertaining.
Gays are not trans - they don't use different pronouns.
It appears you are confusing the two.
Yes, you claim anyone who hasn't been to a drag show can't know what it's about, but there are many things you haven't been to that you pass judgement on.
Just typical of your thinking.
I'm talking about drag shows at schools and libraries. If parents want to take their kids to a drag show on their own, I suppose that's their business.
Stop trying to justify it.
Impossible for me to disagree more with this. There’d be liability on the school as well
Drag shows at libraries are special events the parents sign up for and choose to attend. I don’t agree with the schools and my guess is you can’t find a dozen elementary schools who have hosted them. Stop looking for things to be outraged about.
Interesting. I see you screaming like a banshee when you're typing out your response.
Is there anyway that you can quickly get a job as a waiter at that restaurant? If so, you could have some real fun at their dinner. Or at least pull some strings and get a table next to theirs?
That's all you have - a 'guess'.

A School Took Middle Schoolers to a Drag Show Without Telling Their Parents

Not me. It was the posters themselves deleting their own and a couple by one of the other authoritarians.
Just the opposite, you guys are confusing. Asexuals, for example, use different pronouns (ace often used).
As to gays, use of different pronouns goes back a long way.
Historically, queer men and women switched their use of gender pronouns so that they could openly communicate with one another in times when it was not safe to openly have same-sex relationships. This practice — sometimes called "she-ing" — has a centuries-long history around the world, including England, Peru, the Philippines, and South Africa. “Men using women’s pronouns, and women using men’s pronouns, has got an enormous time depth in American lesbian-gay English. It’s not a recent formation at all,” explains William Leap, an emeritus professor of anthropology at American University and pioneering expert on queer linguistics.

TOTALLY spot on for them. It never never neeeeeever happens, so banning it is silly.. hahahahahahaha

Why do you make such a ridiculous claim? Did you even read what I said? I said I don’t agree with drag shows in school. Please explain your comment. Or perhaps you might be the one who has lost their mind. Bit this thread turned. Old men are REALLY afraid of drag shows!!
Because he said it’s just people showing off or trying to be weird. And his response was he’s been to one of the best. Again, why do you care? I promise no one will make you go and if you see one it won’t turn you gay.
Maybe join the reading group below. Reading is my specialty . I’ve received several awards and was a master teacher.
Boy are you lost. It doesn’t bother me. What makes you think it does? I’m done conversing with you on this topic. You aren’t making sense, you don’t understand it, and once again, afraid of anything outside your circle.
This one goes out to @mcmurtry66
I wish that I knew what I know now

I’m not reading all six articles. The first one I read was after school at a high school. That’s my assumption that most of them are. Elective! At the high school. After school. Who cares?
So you didn't read the articles and assumed they only talked about 1 school per article.
Jezus, I pray for your students.

I’ll grant that that is suggestive of a link. So is Zeke’s link (are they referencing the same study?). I went over them quickly and will read further tonight. Thank you both for the links.
From what I can tell, neither supports (or documents results of) not telling parents. Instead, they suggest a finding that parents, once told, should be accepting about the issue with their children. That can’t happen, though, if the policy is not to tell them.
I cannot speak for Zeke, but for me we are very close to agreement. A lot of parents may react poorly at first being told. To me the question becomes the question, how to soften that initial reaction.
The response to the shock is often the problem. Though let's address the elephant in the room, some parents will be prejudicial about this. But I think most will, after the initial shock, will act as loving parents.
Just out of personal experience, I didn't react great when my middle quit basketball. I didn't do terrible, but I was not the after school special model dad either. That's fairly minor compared to being told one might be/is trans.
You assume all parents are something they are very unlikely to be.
I never assume all parents are anything. That would be silly. I don’t assume all, or even most. A few. Why would you say that? I give you a concrete example and you turn it into an all thing? Disappointing. Considering I worked with parents for over 30 years, I might know a little about it though.
