Parents Shouldn’t Have “Final Say” In Raising Their Own Children Says Teacher Defending Drag Queen’s Visit To School

Fact checked

A Texas high school teacher said parents should NOT have the “final say” in raising their own children after some of them complained about a drag queen visiting the school to give a talk to their children.

The teacher who defended the presence of the drag queen at school asserted that any parents who objected were “bigoted”. Those parents are now calling for the teacher to be fired.

Summit News reports: Willis High School was paid a visit by an adult drag performer by the stage name “Lynn Adonis” who spent the day with children and exchanged social media contacts with some of them.

School Principal Stephanie Hodgins defended the decision to invite Adonis after parents complained, but English teacher Anthony Lane went further, suggesting that parents should submit to the will of the “community” when it comes to raising their own kids.

“I believe that raising a child is the responsibility of the community and that parents should not have the final say,” said Lane in response to the controversy. “Let’s be honest, some of you don’t know what is best for your kids.”

Apparently, according to Lane, what’s best for the kids is to be given advice by a man who dresses as a woman and dances provocatively while people wave dollar bills like they’re in a strip club, if the video above is anything to go by.

When Lane faced a backlash from some of the parents, he doubled down, accusing them of bigotry for not wanting their children to spend personal time with a drag queen.

“Parents believe they should be able to storm the school in the name of political and religious beliefs if something happens in the school that they are morally opposed to. They forget that we make a promise to prepare their children to live in a diverse world. We are not required to protect the misguided, bigoted views of their parents,” he wrote on Facebook, before deleting the post.

Parents are now calling for Lane to be fired. It’s unclear whether “Lynn Adonis” will make a return to the school.

  1. Wasn’t there someone else who felt that the community should raise the children. Oh yes, it was Hitler. Communism and socialism want the children, so they can mold them in the way the government would like to direct them. Homeschool your children or send them to private school. If you live in a state that has free online school like Florida, that is also an option.

  2. Boy, if that’s not a face that would stop a clock. Poor kids…growing up is confusing enough without “Aunt Jack” in the picture.

  3. The bible makes this quite clear:

    Deuteronomy 28 15kjv

    15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:

    Deuteronomy 28 32-34 kjv

    32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long; and there shall be no might in thine hand.

    33 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:

    34 So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
