    Students urged to wear 'full-blown drag' for school’s Pride day.

    Parents and MPs furious over secondary school’s ‘Drag 'n' Rainbows’ themed non-uniform day

    New Mills School in the Peak District, Derbyshire, is encouraging students to wear something rainbow or colourful on its 'Pride day'

    Parents and MPs have reacted with fury after a secondary school urged children as young as 11 to wear “full-blown drag” for Pride day.

    New Mills School, in the Peak District in Derbyshire, has sparked a warning from a leading MP over its “Drag ‘n’ Rainbows” themed non-uniform day on June 16, to mark June being global Pride month.

    In a letter to all parents, shared with the Telegraph, the school said “we are encouraging all students of all genders to wear something rainbow or colourful” on what it is calling “Pride day”.

    “They may express themselves by doing something small like wearing a tutu, make-up, or painting their nails, to going all out in full blown drag,” the letter said.

    But it has sparked a backlash from parents and some staff members at the school, while the chairman of the Commons education select committee said he was “concerned” about Britain’s teachers going too far this Pride month.

    ‘Drag is an art form’

    In the letter to parents, Thomas Robertson, a senior leader in New Mills’s science department, with the backing of the headteacher Heather Watts, insisted that “drag is an art form that is fundamental to the LGBT+ community that challenges the norm as a celebration and as a form of protest”.

    He explained that a drag-themed catwalk would be staged with prizes on Pride day and “before school and during break and lunchtime, there will be free drag stations where any student of any gender can apply some glitter, eye shadow or paint their nails to fully express themselves”.

    Mr Robertson said that Sab Samuel, an author who runs Drag Queen Story Hour UK, a group that sparked parent protests in council libraries and the Tate Britain, had been invited in to “explore homophobia and mental health” with Year 9 and Year 10 students aged 13 to 15.

    The teacher added: “Please note facts and figures around homophobic bullying will be shared as will suicide data.”

    One insider at the school told the Telegraph: “Last year involved non-uniform and a few cup cakes, but this year it’s in a whole different league. They are making drag the central theme which, I feel, is quite controversial. Drag is a highly sexualised parody of women; fine on the stage, not fine in schools.”

    ‘Safeguarding has gone out of the window’
    But Tracy Shaw, from the parents’ group Safe Schools Alliance UK, said: “We are not sure where to start with this school’s celebration of Pride. Drag is a form of adult entertainment largely performed by men and its suitability for children is widely contested.

    “We are extremely concerned that a drag queen has been invited to talk to children about suicide. There are strict guidelines in place for discussing suicide and no-one without specific and rigorous safeguarding and mental health training should be talking to children about the topic.

    “Once again safeguarding has gone out of the window as the school appears to be more interested in demonstrating how ‘inclusive’ they are rather than thinking about what inclusivity means.”

    Robin Walker, the head of the Commons education select committee, told the Telegraph it was “absolutely legitimate” for schools to discuss LGBT matters, but they must be “sensitive to the views of parents” and not go “beyond what most people would see as reasonable”.

    He said: “One of the concerns we’ve heard widely is that there is a threshold but no ceiling as to what needs to get taught. It should be age-appropriate and discussed actively with parents. It sounds in this case like a school going well beyond that and of course that is a matter of concern.

    “It’s an example of why greater clarity is needed in the DfE’s guidance on relationships, health and sex education (RHSE) and that’s very much something that the select committee has been pushing for.”

    Ms Watts, the headteacher, confirmed that the school had received some “opposition [which] has been met with a tolerant and inclusive approach”, but insisted that “we have received far more correspondence in support of our day”.

    She said the school’s RHSE was “age-appropriate”, adding: “We are firmly committed to equipping all our students with the knowledge they need to confidently ask questions.”

    Students urged to wear 'full-blown drag' for school’s Pride day

    whilst 13 year old students in china are learning about quantum physics, those in the uk are being groomed by mentally ill and perverted socialists. this is child abuse, its grooming on an industrial level.

    this is nothing more than that anathema of the left, cultural appropriation, encouraging members of the dominant culture to assume the identities of the minority culture, it is the same as non blacks blacking up in order to appear black. this obsession and endless promotion of the false ideologies of racism, lgbt and net zero is slowly destroying the west.

    it wont be long before poofness, gender re assignment and donning the tutu is made compulsory in the uk and us poor heteros will be reduced to slinking around in alleyways trying to avoid being attacked by hordes of lipsticked widow twankees on the prowl.

    fuck the left and their pandering to the imaginary victims that live in their silly heads, before they utterly fuck up the world.

    During Covid the Rainbow flag was claimed by the NHS in the UK, much to the annoyance of the groomers.

    Quite why Tax is so exercised about the celebration of sexual deviation allegedly being the purlieu of the Left is puzzling not least because for over a century the Establishment’s pillars of respectability on the Right are renown for their addiction to perversions, behaviour smelted out of the crucible of their time at prep boarding schools where sado-masochism, buggery and transvestism were the order of the day.

    Didn’t Cameron fuck a pig’s head and wasn’t Thatcher’s deputy Party Chairman, Morrison, a notorious buggerer of boys he found in Soho’s toilets, a man she protected from prosecution as indeed was Sir Peter Hayman, MI6’s Berlin station head, protected from public humiliation for his participation in the Paedophile Information Exchange prosecution at the Old Bailey - he was cautioned in his false name of Henderson he used for kiddyfiddling and not prosecuted but the police leaked his true identity to Private Eye and the truth was revealed in the issue where they branded him on the front cover as the “Beast of Berlin “. The issue is archived on the internet.

    For sheer kink and immorality, look to the Right.

    that may be so, but they at least attempted to keep their activities private and not proudly celebrate them.

    It’s not about human rights at all.

    Just go be a bender without begging for everyone’s permission and acceptance. You don’t need it.

    Life will go on without the need to disgrace your parents.

    Must have been terrible at school, that Norvern Oirsh drone you were saddled with, the stigmatism that being a pikey carries. Its easy to see why you strive so to present yourself as somehow superior, but given your self confessed circumstances and the obvious lack of mental acuity that led you there you re failing miserably

    the hubris of the panty twisters railing about other people wearing whatever they want

    and talking about womens sports when all they have ever watched is beach volleyball hoping to see some labia

    why would you wail about children being encouraged to dress up when knife violence is killing and injuring more than tutus ?

    emulating seppos who think pink performers in schools are more dangerous than school shootings

    get out of the closet and go and enjoy yourselves

    Because it is disingenuous, virtue-signalling wokeism? If it was 'dress up as you feel day' and kids could turn up as super heroes or cinderella (regardless of gender) then I'd have no problem at all with it.

    The suggestion is that it is all about inclusivity. That's just a sham and I think it is worth challenging. If you were going to have an Inclusivity Day then why wouldn't you have a day when you encourage kids to turn up in wheelchairs?

    In England, in 2021, a smaller proportion but larger number of people were disabled (17.7%, 9.8 million), compared with 2011 (19.3%, 9.4 million).

    Disabled people are not only to be found in wheelchairs

    Indeed. I was just being overly casual to make a point. Disability is a huge topic, far too complex for anything similar to a 'dress up in drag day'. I feel that many teachers will delight in having pictures with their rainbow adorned students. The potential for images with students with a range of disabilities probably isn't going to be as cute on their social media. Which is I call them for being disingenuous.

    I find both those phrases disingenuous - both are used to denigrate

    showing support for the dis enfranchised of society does not have to be a cause for display , but anything that can highlight it is good

    the disabled , the darker skinned , the homosexual , those of stunted toes - have all had life times of discrimination for no healthy reason

    I can see both sides of the coin with this argument, but you have to admit that kids should not be subjected to your woodwork teacher rocking up for a class wearing Z-cup tits with nips exposed.

    They should join ranks to defeat the evil forces of social conservatism with a combined assault

    Have a Lesbian Gay and Disabled protest, celebration, safe space and street march

    Add a grey braille stripe to the LGBD rainbow flag for the disabled to be more inclusive

    If you want to teach morally recidivist conservatives about openness and inclusivity you need to lead by example
