Even before the recognition of \u201cPride Month\u201d and the increased visibility of grooming behavior from many LGBTQ activists, sexualized drag shows were already creeping into government education \u2014 and parents have finally had enough.<\/p>\n<p>In the span of just a few weeks, The Daily Wire reported on two separate drag queen shows held in public high schools. In reaction to the shows, Carl Trueman \u2014 professor of biblical and religious studies at Grove City College \u2014 told The Daily Wire that children are \u201cthe perfect target for groups whose purpose is the subversion of the parent-child bond.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Parents at both schools could not agree more.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I, For One, Am Fed Up\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Last month, the Genders &#038; Sexualities Alliance (GSA) club at Ankeny High School in Iowa <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/drag-queens-perform-at-iowa-high-school-give-students-pointers-on-gender-identity\">welcomed drag queens<\/a> to perform and offer advice about gender identity to students. The school district is currently conducting an investigation and stated that the event occurred without authorization from administrators.<\/p>\n<p>However, Kimberly Reicks \u2014 whose daughter attends the high school and whose three other children attend school in the district \u2014 told The Daily Wire that she was \u201cappalled\u201d and \u201cdisgusted\u201d when she saw footage of the show on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen they start using the public schools to host exotic shows for minor children, that\u2019s where I have an issue and I draw the line,\u201d she said, adding that, to her knowledge, parents were not aware of the show.<\/p>\n<p>Reicks also claimed that the school has covered up similar incidents in the past.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI, for one, am fed up. I am done with the indoctrination and sexualization they are trying to force upon our children,\u201d Reicks continued. \u201cAnd so are hundreds of parents\u2026 I will stop at nothing to ensure our schools are once again a safe environment for all students of all backgrounds to attend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I Can\u2019t Believe This Just Happened\u2019<\/p>\n<p>In April, the GSA club at Hempfield High School in Pennsylvania <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/i-cant-believe-this-just-happened-parents-furious-after-drag-queen-dancers-hosted-at-pennsylvania-high-school\">hosted multiple performers<\/a> after school without parents\u2019 knowledge, and the club\u2019s co-adviser shared the performers\u2019 Instagram accounts, all four of which include sexually suggestive content, with her students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur concern is that grown men entered our high school with or without background checks,\u201d Meridith Hilt, a mother of two children in the school district, told The Daily Wire. \u201cThey were dressed scantily and performed in a provocative, sexualized manner for minor children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Hilt, administrators have not yet clarified to parents whether the performers had clearances or background checks to allow them entry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost parents are outraged and shocked,\u201d Hilt added. \u201cParents filed a Right to Know request for details. We want to know who attended; allegedly, seventh and eighth grade children reported being present at the show. We asked for video surveillance footage and financial records for the club. The dancers were paid, and we would like to know if it was taxpayer money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, Stacy Hernandez \u2014 a parent with three children in the school district, including one son who attends the high school \u2014 told The Daily Wire that students initially thought the event \u201cwas a joke\u201d when it was announced over the loudspeaker. \u201cWhen he saw the videos of it that everybody was showing him, he was like, \u2018I can\u2019t believe this just happened in my school.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As with Ankeny High School, it appears that the drag queen show at Hempfield was not an isolated incident.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHempfield has a problem with spreading information out that should be going to people,\u201d Hernandez said. \u201cThere\u2019s been a pattern with a lot of things happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Expressive Individualism\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Carl Trueman \u2014 the author of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Rise-Triumph-Modern-Self-Individualism\/dp\/1433556332\">The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self<\/a>\u201d and an interviewee in Daily Wire commentator Matt Walsh\u2019s blockbuster documentary \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/videos\/what-is-a-woman\">What is a Woman?<\/a>\u201d \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/expressive-individualism-theologian-carl-trueman-explains-why-public-high-schools-keep-hosting-drag-shows\">explained<\/a> to The Daily Wire that the drag shows at both schools were only possible thanks to the last few hundred years of Western philosophy, even if the average American may not be consciously aware of it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis has its roots in the impact of the thought of figures such as Sigmund Freud, Wilhelm Reich, and, more recently, Michel Foucault and Judith Butler,\u201d Trueman said. \u201cBut few people read these characters \u2014 more relevant to the man or woman in the street is the way the message of a highly sexualized expressive individualism is preached by commercials, movies, soap operas, and sitcoms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ideology of these philosophers fomented a phenomenon called \u201cexpressive individualism,\u201d which \u201cintuits that the true self is that which we are inside, the inner emotions and psychological feelings that we experience,\u201d Trueman said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt also leads to the situation where society as a whole is required to affirm that person in that public performance since failure to do so is, in effect, to deny that someone is who they think they are,\u201d he<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the weekend, a gay bar in Dallas, Texas drew fire for hosting a drag show in which children tipped performers and were permitted onstage.
