“I’m here to wish you all a successful 2026-2027 school year and to thank all the amazing principals, teachers, and staff for your dedication to your students and their learning,” Waters said. “While we can often get caught up in the hustle and bustle, it’s so important to remember that together we rise with excellence and purpose.”

when crap like this happens, and no one bothers to open their pie holes in protest, tells me they’re never going to wake up.

What is with School’s compulsion to shove drag queens in the faces of students? Something sinister about this.

People would not have to put up with this crap if they would just show up at the next election and vote the people that support this out of office. I guess they must approve of it or they just don’t realize that elections have consequences.

I graduated a long time ago and if this clown had showed up at my school to speak at graduation seremonies, I’m pretty sure he’d have been booed off the stage. Of course, I didn’t graduate from Portland Oregon Public Schools & I’m sure that made a difference. Why the school system allowed something like that, I’m not sure.

I went to public high school in the 70s. If the students got wind of this our football team and other assorted jocks woulda insured this freak never made onto school grounds....much less inside the school.
