Two teachers were fired from a Christian school in Baytown, Texas, after going to a drag queen performance and posting images and videos on Facebook about the event.
TheBlaze reported that two teachers were both fired from First Baptist Academy because they violated the school’s operating policies manual. Kristi Maris reportedly went to an establishment in Houston, Texas, called Hamburger Mary’s, which frequently hosts events featuring men dressed as women. Their website boasts events such as the “SaturGay Brunch Hosted by Lady Shamu” and “Party with the Divaz.”
Maris posted photos and videos from her time at the show on Facebook, captioned “This was a blast!!!!” before being contacted by her school.
The senior pastor at the school pointed to the operating policies manual, which Maris had previously agreed to, which stated, “I will act in a godly and moral fashion at work, on Facebook and in my community.”
Despite agreeing to the clause, Maris couldn’t comprehend why attending a drag show was not seen as “godly” or “moral” and said that she felt she and her coworker “were treated like criminals” when they were contacted by the school over the phone about their jobs. Both were fired via phone call and complained that they were not able to say goodbye to coworkers or students, according to Q1077 radio.
“They’re entertainers. I would’ve never thought in a million years that this would happen. Never. We were in disbelief. We still are. We were heartbroken. We had relationships with parents and the kids, and I didn’t even get to say goodbye to a lot of the kids,” Maris said.
“For almost 20 years, I’ve taught children to love each other. I’ve talked to them and told them, ‘You have to get along. God loves us all equally.’ And that’s the way we should be,” Maris went on. “We should love everybody, and that’s what we’ve been teaching, but they’re expecting us not to do that.”
Perhaps in the future this school/church needs to make it a little more clear. FReepers want to help them out? Any sermon suggestions?
There is nothing redeeming about a drag show.
By their twisted logic, male teachers going to an “exotic dancer” club could claim that they were there for the “performance art.”
If these teachers can’t tell the difference, they don’t need to be at that school.
They sound like real MENSA members.
Later on in the article:
“Maris said that she has received hundreds of calls from public schools wanting to hire her after seeing her drag show Facebook posts. But her previous employment at a Christian school is a stumbling block.”
(Well - who is to say it DIDN’T happen!?)
“But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived..” II Timothy 3:13
Get ready

She couldn’t comprehend why attending a drag show was not godly or moral. Maybe instead of a Christian teacher, she should be a student instead.
“But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.” II Timothy 3:13”
Peter Marshall (Penny Marshall’s daddy) once said that people will accept most anything if you get them to laugh at it.
An interesting quote if you take a look around at the accepting society that surrounds us. It is yet another reason why I don’t find Monty Python or Benny Hill drag skits that amusing. Heck Tootsie and Mrs. Doubtfire is also a weird yet revealing example of Marshall’s proclamation.
It had to start someplace and it started way before the days of Noah. Modern media and broadcasting rapidly propagated the unseemlyness... and here we are. Waxing worse and living with the deceit.
These “teachers” can’t understand what is ungodly and moral about drag queens, who also want to read to children while performing lewd positions? Then the school was wholly justified in terminating their employment. They need to repent because there’s more at stake than just a paycheck.
That should be IMMORAL about drag queens.
The teachers are a befuddled disgrace. Real CHRino’s.
I didn’t even get to say goodbye
Too effin bad.
so she goes running to the friendly media to complain...disgusting.
