A
Colorado school district has apologized to parents after hosting a drag queen
as part of a career day, according to Denver.cbslocal.com. A spokesperson for
Adams 12 Five Star schools said Rocky Top Middle School staff should have
notified parents that a drag queen would be speaking to their children before the event took place. Seems like
a reasonable assumption.
The
drag queen identifies as a woman named “Jessica L’Whor” (nice touch), and the
district confirmed it invited her to attend the school’s career day. After all,
what school would want to invite an accountant, fireman, doctor, or rocket
scientist to talk to the kiddies about their worthless, boring occupations? And
we know businessmen and policemen are persona non grata now.
L’Whor
said, “I knew it was going to be
controversial because that was nothing that would be allowed when I was in
middle school,” adding, “At the same time, it opened up a door for conversation.” I bet it did. “Ms. L’Whor,
what’s the best part about being a drag queen? And, what’s your favorite type
of underwear?”
Predictably,
district spokesperson Joe Ferdani said the staff believed L’Whor’s visit would
demonstrate their inclusiveness of all people, no matter how they prefer to
dress. He added: “The school’s
focus is to have an event that is representative of the diverse backgrounds
and careers in the community.”
One
member of the school’s staff said that the final choice of a career day speaker
was between L’Whor, Alexis Texas, the tremendously popular porn star who has
appeared in over 550 adult movies, Peter H. Gilmore, the current High Priest
and publisher of The Black Flame, the
official magazine of The Church of Satan, and Senator Diane Feinstein (D-Cal.).
