...""It doesn't matter if it was G-rated, PG-13, R or X. The drag show itself is an outward expression of a desired inward sexuality," Bailey claimed. "And it emphasizes sexual characteristics that appeal to the prurient interest. It is inherently sexual. It teaches human sexuality."
Columbia Public Schools Superintendent Brian Yearwood echoed the response of Nclusion Plus in a letter to Gov. Mike Parson last week, calling out "an unfortunate amount of misinformation being shared outside our community" regarding the performance.
"Any characterization of the 'Columbia Values Diversity' Breakfast as 'child endangerment' or having a 'sexual nature' or violating state law is categorically false," the letter read. "Although CPS was unaware what the performance by NClusion+ would entail, their program was not an 'adult' performance. This type of misrepresentation is harmful to our students, our staff, and our community."
Despite the pushback, Bailey says "all legal options are on the table."
