Honestly pathetic, good on his parents for being fully there supporting him and exposing the school

Boys and girls acting as the other gender is not quite the same as a drag queen act, you can't perform in a drag queen club until you are 18 so I don't think a school talent show is the place for it, I said the same when those young girls were pole dancing as an act.

Doesnt drag sexualize the whole point? its not the fact of dressing as the other gender its the fact that it shouldn't be able to show sexual stuff in schools

Rules are rules where ever or whatever you do.

Yet if a young girl dresses up as Harley Quinn for example who is an overtly sexalised character no one bats an eyelid, the issue clearly isn't it not being age appropriate.

Didn't one kid go to World Book Day as Christian Grey ffs

This poor kid had spent weeks rehearsing an act, making sure any bad language or inappropriate behaviour was removed and then got told it was banned. Let him live!

plenty bad parents around it seems

If he had been practicing the routines with family for weeks...how come the school did not refuse him doing a drag act earlier? Like, if hes been practicing for it for that long, presumably the teachers knew what he was doing (if not the other kids too), so why was it only the day before they said no

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 the two stories are different though, this one obviously came from the boy himself wanting to do it where as clearly the Christian Grey thing came from the parent, I have doubts that boy read 50 shades

And if he did, there should be even more ****ing questions asked about their parenting abilities

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....

Morgan. · 26-07-2018, 01:32 PM

Honestly I don't see the issue with the performance and think they've discouraged freedom of expression in a young child.

Do you have an issue with the Ru Paul show policy as well?

RPDR is an adult show though with adult content. I doubt this boy would have been anywhere close to as raunchy and sexualised as RDPR. For me its about the context, if the routine was sexualised and risque fair enough but if it was just a boy in female clothes and makeup dancing about then I think its a reach to compare it to adult content
