So why is a private school doing this during CHAPEL services? To illustrate the idea that God loves ALL people?

I would think this would already have been taught.

If my child was enrolled at that school, she or he would be disenrolled for the next semester.
Their school their rules.

This said it does not mean everyone must agree with ridiculous rule.

Attendance should never be mandatory. Drag shows are boring. They are hardly entertaining. Not all students would enjoy those kind of shows. They should be given more freedom to choose how they want to be entertained.

It sure looks like a number of these NYC private schools for the ubermensch are simply trying to out woke each other.

I have no idea on the number of these schools but it sure looks like it is a social status thing amongst the people with literal money to burn.

Guess Im just waiting for the outrage when they have live trans sex shows with mandatory attendance.

Next time, try something original if you want to claim you are progressive.

I'm not religious, but seeing that in a church makes me furious. Seeing that at a mandatory school event makes me furious. Seeing everyone clapping and whooping and whistling, like this was the most wonderful thing they could possibly see, makes me furious.

How can anyone think this is ok?

I think drag queens absolutely are a mockery of women. They use gross exaggerations of female stereotypes, the very stereotypes feminists have fought to get rid of. Huge hair, overdone makeup, big boobs, high heels, skin tight clothes, hypersexualized. Is this the picture of womanhood we want our young girls to aspire to? It makes me furious.

If grown men get their jollies from watching fake stereotypical drag queen "women" that's bad enough. They can be perverts if they want to be. But why in the world should that disgusting mockery of women be presented to children during school???

Are our children excelling SO much in reading, math, and science, that schools simply must fill up valuable time with something as unintellectual as this?

And that would be the LAST day my child would walk through the doors and into the school of consensual enquiry. I would find a way to pay for a private tutor.

Being drag queens IS a mockery of women. Mockery of women is the whole point of being drag queens. To think that it's not a mockery of women is a bizarre perspective.

I would assume that the Rev. Hummel taught the students that "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall" (Proverbs 16:18). I also must assume that he taught them the history of the rainbow, how it was a sign of the covenant from God that He would never again destroy the Earth with water (Genesis 9:12-16). Right?

I seem to recall hearing about this school before, when they did some other woke nonsense. I have no direct experience with this place, but my sense of it is that they are willing to wear the outer trappings of religion even while failing to follow the tenets of the historical, Biblical Christian faith. If the parents want to pay good money to expose their children to this sort of nonsense, that's their choice. But I do pity the children who are being indoctrinated into believing that this stuff is normal, and even worse, that it somehow represents what Biblical Christianity is all about, since it's happening in a nominally religious school.
