It sounds like its not the drag in itself that they had an issue with, given they said he could dress however he wanted. Which says to me, its been the dance routines themselves that have been the problem?

Illegal under 18 though LOL. Floundering a bit.

I think in the interview it was mentioned that the teachers,parents and other students were all on board and happy for it to go ahead. It was when a lost of acts and talents were sent to the Head teacher that the issue was raised.

because the Head is ultimately responsible and knows the rules probably! if it had gone ahead trust me there would be another parent on Good Morning griping about the age of the kid...and the school could have got in trouble for under age content, much the same as schools will only show movies that are U, rather than PG....

Actually, it seems like she lied to the parents about it being "illegal" to pass the buck (when it isn't illegal at all), and then later completely denied that she had ever said it when she was caught out in the lie.

Which is seriously worrying and unprofessional no matter what the context is. Even if she truly believes it isn't appropriate for her school... she should have the conviction to state that instead of pretending that she's consulted her "legal team" and found out that it's illegal .
