A high school teacher has resigned from a Wisconsin school after receiving a backlash from parents when a clip of him dancing in drag for students went viral on social media.
French teacher Matt Kashdan of Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District in Wisconsin performed for students in drag as part of a 'Fine Arts Week', dancing in red-heeled boots and a sparkling blue dress.
The teacher danced to Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga’s song 'Rain on me' as part of the talent show, which had returned after a hiatus.
'People were calling me a groomer, people were calling me a pedophile, people are calling me a narcissist,' Kashdan said, branding the criticism 'homophobic'.
The drag act prompted a wave of criticism from parents who said it was ‘shameful’ and questioned why it would be part of a ‘fine arts’ performance.
A clip of the performance went viral on social media, prompting at least one parent to complain, according to Fox News.
'This is shameful and just as bad as switch genders day for spirit week back when I went to school in the 80's', said one social media user on Twitter after watching the video.
Other online sleuths wrote upon seeing the video that the school was not an appropriate venue for the performance.
'Why aren't these parents pulling their kids and suing?!?! Kids are there to be EDUCATED and the state has a responsibility to do so,' said another.
The parent whose child attends the school wrote into a local conservative radio show t say: 'What kind of educators thought this was appropriate? Drag shows are "fine arts"? If a teacher is a pole dancer or stripper, can they also perform for my children?'

“If a teacher is a pole dancer or stripper, can they also perform for my children?”
Probably “yes”. Yes, they can in today’s America.
that dress sure wasn’t flattering, Matt.
and he carries a cat in a baby sling, too.
Please tell me this flaming mo is married to a MAN, no woman deserves this.
Should not be a teacher, anywhere. Maybe prison. Prisoners may want to learn to speak Francais.
Agree. He should teach French. But French Culture is somewhat messed up. (worse than ours)
Well, that was my question too. By not listing the “wife’s” name, the author dodged that question.
If people do all this weird stuff openly in schools, imagine what they are hiding.
Evil is not an illness.
OMG! Mystery solved!!! that's where they find these angry clueless, zero people skills, emotionless, zero brain functioning rental car company a-holes!
Can you imagine the horrors that poor cat has seen. Hopefully nothing beyond just seeing it.
Has it been that long ago when “don’t ask, don’t tell” was a win for these guys? Now they just won’ shut up.
Their new demands are we can say and do anything we want anywhere we want and if you object you are a bigot.
The money quote?
“...prompting at least one parent to complain...”
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
How can people send their kids to public schools? Well, it is good to see people speaking out against the perversion and getting results.
If the pump fits...

Touché. Laffing my @$$ off at that one.
