Pa. district ‘appalled,’ investigating after-school drag show at Gay Sexuality Alliance Club event: reports
Pennlive ^ | 30 April A.D. 2022 | Brian Linder

The Hempfield School District issued a statement Friday apologizing for what has been described by several media outlets as an after-school drag show that was held by the Gay Sexuality Alliance Club at Hempfield High earlier in the week.

The district said Friday in a message posted to its website that it was “made aware of a serious situation that took place at the high school on Monday, April 25, after school hours.”

District Statement

Hempfield School District's statement posted to its website Friday says an investigation is underway.

The event reportedly featured dancers in “tight-fitting and revealing clothing with exposed buttocks,” LancasterOnline reported.

The district said in its statement that it was made aware of photos and videos of the performance and that it immediately began an investigation.

“First and foremost, the administration team apologizes to students, parents and the community on behalf of those involved in this event,” it said. “We are appalled at what took place and in no way condone this type of activity in our schools. Neither the dress of the invited guests nor the performance was appropriate in our school setting.”

The district said that it was “taking the incident seriously.”

LancasterOnline reported that Meridith Hilt posted about the event in a community Facebook group. The site said that Hilt said that her concern had nothing to do with the sexual orientation of those involved but that said she had an issue with the performance.

“It has nothing to do with them as an LGBT community,” she told the site. “It wouldn’t make a difference to me if it was a woman doing this. It’s irrelevant that they are drag queens. It’s the type of performance at a school.”

Hilt, who reportedly has two children in the district, told LancasterOnline that the exposed buttocks and types of dances are not what she would consider appropriate for the age group.

But another parent of children in the district, Melissa Taylor, told the site she believes parents whose children were not in the group should not involve themselves with what occurred.

“All they are doing is hurting the kids in that club and the teacher,” she told LancasterOnline. “If your kids aren’t involved and you’re not giving your permission, why are you getting involved?”

The school reportedly told parents that an “unnamed individual” has been placed on administrative leave while the investigation takes place.

I know of one school district in PA where if a teacher just gives a student his/her contact info to stay in touch or for mentoring or tutoring, the local police conduct a criminal investigation. That used to be completely acceptable in my youth, (but that was some time ago...) Students are missing something when they bond with a teacher, but the teacher is afraid to get too close to them for fear of complaints.

The whole LGBTQ thing is out of hand. Schools let students change their names, but won’t tell the parents. Now we have drag shows at school. Things have gotten very weird.

“If your kids aren’t involved and you’re not giving your permission, why are you getting involved?”

Involvement and permission are fundamental rights granted to those paying the taxes used to pay the groomers in the district who are behind the indoctrination of these skulls of mush you freaking moron.

The only drags we had after school were on a straight stretch of road outside of town. How times have changed.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Uhmmmmm, because they're paying for the school through their taxes? Because their child could become a target of these groomers? Honestly, it's ignorance like this that's gotten us in trouble.

There’s also a Hempfield School District in Westmoreland County, surrounding Greensburg area. This had me confused for a minute, because I didn’t think OUR Hempfield was that woke yet. Our county voted overwhelmingly for Trump.

Gay Sexuality Alliance Club at Hempfield High

“We are appalled at what took place and in no way condone this type of activity in our schools.” The district said that it was “taking the incident seriously.”

“…her concern had nothing to do with the sexual orientation of those involved but that said she had an issue with the performance…It has nothing to do with them as an LGBT community… It’s irrelevant that they are drag queens. It’s the type of performance at a school.”

Yeah, right. What did you EXPECT would happen with this “club”? You expect young perverts to behave and act responsibly? If you are really going to take this seriously, kick the sex club out of the school like you would any other club that stepped out of bounds.

Aesop nailed it millennia ago…
