The Rainbow District School Board announced this week the board has officially decided it will not be hosting a drag event that was supposed to take place at Lo-Ellen Park Secondary School on Feb. 10.
“There is agreement that the board will focus its efforts on its existing events in support of students and will not participate in the tour. The organizer is currently considering a community-based event during the evening of February 10, 2023.” “Boréal strives to be an inclusive, positive, safe space for everyone,” said an emailed statement from the college.
While he said the board putting the brakes on the show was a “slap in the face,” he was hopeful last month it would be reinstated. Mohamed said this claim is “unfounded considering there was no talk of sex in the script and all clothing to be worn was modest, the clothing being a blazer and a long dress with a cape.”
He also spoke about the board’s references to hosting and participating in upcoming conferences aimed at the 2S-LGBTQ+ community. “I was shocked and overjoyed when I heard that Collège Boréal would host the event. Actions speak louder than words.”
This is critical for the inclusion of other genders and sexuality.
Good for the schoolboard! Men dressing up as women prancing around for children sure as hell isn't education. If parents want to take their own children to drag shows go ahead but tax payers shouldn't be footing the bill for this garbage
Common sense prevails!
No. Teach my kids math and geography. Leave the unnecessary crap out.
