Thats why his fellow students walked out in solidarity..

Ps, school talent shows just need a brave student to walk on and show the talent, they dont need to do a dress rehersal...

..so then if they did that, they weren’t being non-judgemental, Parmy...they were very much being judgemental and that is essentially bullying behaviour which should never be condoned by a school...which is what I thought your post referred to..?...I’m seriously confused..

...ahhh, I get you now Parmy..(sorry..)..a drag queen isn’t someone who uses wigs, make-up and clothing to impersonate someone else...it’s an expression of part of themselves, they don’t ‘impersonate’ in any way as such...I can sing songs which were recorded by black singers because I feel the songs and I like to sing them..someone on a talent show can do that as well...but faces don’t have to be blacked to do it, to perform a song...there is a fundamental difference..

He impersonated rupaul dezzy..read it in black and white in the op...

You're actually wrong. It says he was inspired by Rupaul's Drag Race and it was the headteacher that said he was imitating Rupaul in order to falsely strengthen her point that it was inappropriate. He never says he wanted to appear as Rupaul.

Yes, I'm sure he was planning to rip off the outfit to reveal a sheer naked glittery bodysuit underneath... You asked for pictures, you got them. You can't try to discount them with a strawman theory because they don't suit your opinion. You can't scream fake news at things you don't want to hear.

Also finally, the teachers okayed his look and his performance, do you really think it would have taken until the night before for the head teacher to take action if his performance contained anything inappropriate? Be honest with yourself.

Rest assured, he dressed up as rupaul to lip sync his track.

That makes no sense. To perform a song you have to be dressed up as the artist? Did he have five costume changes planned so that he could also appear as each member of Little Mix and Ariana Grande to suit your strange criteria?

No..because to me it looks like he was impersonating ruapaul, impersonating little mix n ariana.

..we also know that heads don’t always make good decisions as well, Cherie...and when those decisions reach the media like this one because of their flimsy and dubious quality...then they’ve opened their school up to criticism...

Amy Jade · 26-07-2018, 06:02 PM

When I was in primary school our whole school went to theater clwyd every christmas to see a panto and I remember regularly seeing people in drag in the roles* and and none of us were confused. It's just an act.

I sort of see this kid doing his thing as similar and see no harm at all in him doing his act (which he had edited to remove risky words and apparently removed whole sections of songs to avoid anything bad being utterd. Sounds to me like the head has just banned him without seeing anything.

* not just men as women either I have seen Peter Pan as a girl and a girl playing Aladdin.

Panto is inspired by fairytales though
