Dominick Varney, also known as 'Priscilla Poppycocks,' spoke to high schoolers on May 4

...

A Maine public high school paid a gay drag performer $1,000 to speak to minors at a workshop, according to Freedom of Access Act (FOAA) documents.

Drag performer Dominick Varney, also known as "Priscilla Poppycocks," spoke to Bangor High School students on May 4 as part of the school’s "Support, Educate, Empower" series to "empower" LGBT students.

...

The school paid Varney and another performer, whose name was redacted from the FOAA documents, $1,000 each out of the school’s $15,000 grant from the Nellie Mae Education Foundation, which aims to "advance racial equity in public education," according to its website.

...

Reflected within our ongoing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) initiatives, the Bangor School Department proudly supports students and their families in sharing their diverse and unique life experiences within the school community," Phinney told Fox News Digital.

...

Nellie Mae trusts its grantees to vet all speakers and vendors. Bangor High School applied for and received funding from the "Centering Joy: Celebrating LGBTQIA+ Youth and their Allies" grant.

...

In 2022, only 29% of Maine students were proficient in reading and 24% were proficient at math, according to the Nation's Report Card.

"Parents need to realize what is happening and step forward and demand accountability and change," McBreairty said.

Maine was once: “ the way life should be.” Something happened to destroy that. Liberalism.

Paid $1000? Talk about poor judgement and wasteful spending—most of these dancing pedophiles would speak to children for free—no doubt some would even pay if they could speak to them in private.

They are not public schools, they are government schools. And the purpose of government schools is not education.

Merriam-Webster gives us this etymology of “poppycock”:

Dutch dialect pappekak, literally, soft dung, from Dutch pap pap + kak dung

Argh ...

I look at that picture, and I start to feel the urge to grab an axe-handle and make vigorous use of it.

What's happened is the same thing that happened to Vermont. The SanFranFreako types are metastasizing from New York and Boston. Portland was a working-class port city, but now it's drugs and fern bars. Oh, and Somalis. Diverrrrsity, you know.

I have to assume that Bangor HS would feel comfortable inviting a stripper to speak to students as well. Likely lots more job openings in that field than for drag queens.

I confess, I have not! A few years ago, the local strip club had a sign out, “Now hiring Class of 2020”

Whoever was responsible for this disgusting abuse of the kids and waste of taxpayer money should not only be fired, they should lose their teaching license and go to jail.

All the parents of the kids that did NOT walk out deserve a punch in the nose and a swift kick in the crotch.
