Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey called for teachers to be fired or resign after Columbia Public School middle schoolers were taken to a drag performance.
"I'm calling on school boards and superintendents throughout the state to adopt resolution or a public position that drag shows have no place in curriculum in students' education," Bailey said."That needs to happen as well to demonstrate the absurdity of the Columbia Public School action and to ensure it doesn't happen elsewhere in our state."
The city's website said the event"typically features a breakfast, award presentation, artistic celebrations, and keynote addresses. The Celebration is coordinated by the City's Office of Cultural Affairs and enjoys the support of many community volunteers and sponsors." A parent posted a school permission slip for the event on Facebook, which noted that there would be"songs" and"performances," but did not mention a drag show.
Shortly after the event concluded, Missouri Senate President Pro Tem Caleb Rowden tweeted that his office had been flooded with emails and calls from parents upset by the event. He revealed that he had called for a meeting with the school superintendent and board members to voice parental concerns.
