Really...THIRD YEAR...Orlando’s Boone High School...

A “Drag and Donuts” event set to be held at a Florida school for a THIRD year has been canceled, officials said.

An LGBTQ student club at Boone High School in Orlando planned to welcome guest Jason DeShazo...He was scheduled to dress in drag and share his “story as a queer person” on Thursday, March 23, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

The annual after-school gathering wasn’t going to be a drag show but instead was an “opportunity for the students to hear a positive message of acceptance and love,” an Orange County Public Schools spokesperson told McClatchy News in an email.

This is the problem with high schools today… the kids are graduating with zero actual job skills

And this is where they’re spending time, every and resources… it’s stupidity

Parents are not parenting either - another serious issue in our country!

It’s my opinion that parents have lost their nerve to parent their kids… no one wants to say no to their kids about anything anymore.

And as a result, a huge percent of kids are completely infantilized.

I have a different "take" on this, Truth...I believe most parents have "abdicated" the responsiblity side of parenting to "the screens (large and small)". We now have a generation of what I call "weeds" - because their minds have not been "cultivated" to accept many aspects of maturation! It's very, very sad and unsettling. I find the most circumspect young people I have met in the past 25 years are those who are HOME SCHOOLED.

I agree with much of what you’re saying

just like many people failed to make their own decision about the vaccine… and just allowed the government and social media to make their decision for them about the vaccine…

But I’ve seen the dark side of homeschool too. Where the parent wasn’t doing anything with their child- they just essentially weren’t going to school/being educated… at all.

If homeschool is done well though- it’s probably far superior to the majority of public school educations now- now that schools are mainly just indoctrination to ideologies.

I can understand how "easy" it would be to "fail to follow through" on Home Schooling--but I have not been privy to those "home school" failures--only the successes. Did you know that "public" education, for the most part, throughout the early part of our country's history was started by "groups of parents" in conjunction with the pastor(s) of the town's church(es). How different things would be if that were still the case. Alas...we have "progressed" into the abyss of mediocrity.

What kind of "love" are they promoting? Sure isn't the love mentioned in Scripture--even "eros"...it doesn't qualify--it's PLAIN PERVERSION...pure and simple.

Yeah. Clear out that school. Groomers in control.

Annie, you'd have to clear out half that city: Groomers in control.

So, is there any reason anyone with half a brain can't understand the importance of clobbering the Reedy Creek Improvement District? From my perspective, there was subversive power and agenda afoot that was allowed to fester and thrive.
