I wonder who put the students up to this. They did’t do it themselves.

A play based on a lie ought to be canceled.

So the play was about a gay drug dealer that was killed over drugs?

“The Laramie Project” is a play that recounts the aftermath of the murder of Matthew Shepard, a gay University of Wyoming student who was beaten and tied to a fence outside of Laramie in 1998.

Over drugs.

Who's their Drama teacher?

What's wrong with classics like Wizard of Oz? Gone with the Wind? Or Annie?

The play is by Moises Kaufman, a Tony nominated, gay, Jewish playwright.

Matthew Shepard was murdered by a former homosexual lover. HE WAS NOT MURDERED BY A CONSERVATIVE.

The sexual weirdo community knew the truth and put out and stood behind a lie because they wanted to express their hatred of white heterosexual men by ‘Jussie Smolletting’ them - a fake hate crime.

That’s how the play should be presented - as a lie by the sexual weirdo community against an innocent group of straight men.

A few years ago, a student at the high school I attended back in the 1970s, didn’t get the lead part in the annual school play.

His reaction to this was a little over the top.

He went out in his car (maybe his parents’ car, not sure) and crashed it into the brand-new library the town had recently built. He was killed as a result.

Before he did this, he made a video, blaming the chorus teacher, who had run the school play for decades, as had the chorus teacher who came before her. The student, now deceased, was a homosexual, and he blamed the chorus teacher for discriminating against him because of homophobia.

In the resulting brou-ha-ha, the chorus teacher was “placed on leave,” and hundreds of students and parents showed up at school board meetings to demand that the chorus teacher be reinstated, which she eventually was. Something like half the school board resigned.

There’s a lot more to the story, which I don’t tell here because I don’t want to identify the school.

Two of my grandsons graduated from Timber Creek, but a few years later when it was time for my granddaughter to attend high school, my son said hell no, she won’t go. Private Christian school it is.

I can remember when one of the big selling points of buying a house here was that KISD was the best around.

Sad how it only took a few years to destroy a school.

“I wonder who put the students up to this. They did’t do it themselves”

Most school plays are selected well in advance by the drama teacher because it takes time to prepare. There’s purchasing/licensing and approvals. There’s breaking down the script by the director (usually the drama teacher). There’s budgeting and scheduling. Auditions. Picking cast and crew. Rehearsals. Marketing. Building sets. Making costumes. Purchasing props.

Often plays are selected a year in advance, and there is an approval process.

The plays that high school students can do are generally selected from a pre-approved list or at least it was when I was a teacher involved with putting on plays.

Who updated the list?
