Is She a genius ?

A Mother showed up to a school committee meeting wearing the same outfit a drag queen performer wore on stage in front of school children, the awkward faces on the school committee members was priceless.
She asked them if the outfit was appropriate for any occasion during school.

Who is suggesting drag outfits are OK for school? Drag is a form of theater which takes place in a theater in front of an audience. Jesus.
@Graylight The School committee who allowed Drag queens to perform in front of students , that was her point.

@FreeSpirit1 Ah. Okay. I can understand that was probably a tumultuous show. But really, what of it? Men and women have been exchanging roles every halloween for 80 years. Women dressed as men in the 1920s and 30s as a fashion trend. Some men wear kilts, a few of them with no Scots background. What is so threatening to people they have to react like that woman?

And still, drag is for shows and entertainment. That's how it was presented at the school. It was the woman who used it for other than its intended purpose.
@Graylight because it was in front of school children where a man wearing a thong leotard, knee high boots, clown like makeup and a blonde wig was twerking and performing. The Mother was proving a point that there is a time and place for that and in front of school kids is not one of those times or places.
Obviously there are those like you who think it's fine so her point making would be lost on you, it wasn't lost on the school committee members, they looked like they got it. .

@FreeSpirit1 "The drag show involved dancers who volunteered to perform for the after-school event. The dancers entered the school in their tight-fitting costumes and could be seen by students at dismissal. But the owner of the entertainment company whose dancers performed said they often wear about “seven layers” of skin-colored tights and stockings beneath their costumes."

The point of drag shows isn't sex or titillation; it's a celebration of freedom, expression and gender, so you're not going to see naked people performing sex acts. Speaking of which, did you see the performance at all or you're just passing along rumor?

Reminds me of something:

Loosen up or take that frozen grip from the throat of others, because what they do is none of your business. There are restaurants dedicated to drag, nightly shows in any city you can name, normal hetero men enjoy cross-dressing for special occasions, and women and synthesized the man's traditional styles through fashion for decades. Grow up, teach your children, show them the world. And please, name for me one single crime ever caused by drag. Just one.
