Perhaps it’s more important to ask why a high school was having a drag show event in the first place.
FOX News reports:
Local Wisconsin paper blames Libs of TikTok for high school canceling drag show eventA local Wisconsin newspaper, The Capital Times, spotlighted the Libs of TikTok Twitter account as a factor behind the “hostile reception” and eventually cancelation of a drag show event planned at Madison East High School.Originally, the school had planned a “family friendly” drag show for Jan. 19 with the help of their Gender and Sexuality Alliance organization. By Monday afternoon, however, Madison Metropolitan School District spokesperson Tim LeMonds reported that the event had been canceled following “safety concerns for the student body.”Journalist Scott Girard covered the school’s response but also documented Libs of TikTok’s coverage of the event starting from Thursday.”On Thursday afternoon, Libs of TikTok, an account that has been suspended from Twitter multiple times for targeted harassment and other violations, sent out its own tweets about the event. The account has focused much of its energy on anti-LGBTQ messaging, often focused on schools and educators,” Girard wrote.He added, “Soon after the Libs of TikTok tweets, accounts began responding to unrelated tweets from the Madison Metropolitan School District and East High accounts, repeatedly directing the word ‘groomers’ at both.”Libs of TikTok originally shared the school newsletter publicizing the event, which featured a statement of praise from the school’s principal.”The principal of @MadisonEastHS is inviting students and their families to attend a ‘family-friendly’ drag show at school. They claim the show will celebrate and affirm LGBTQ+ students and staff and praise the work of the ‘Gender and Sexuality Alliance’ club,” the account tweeted.
