'La Cage' a folly in school (kids as young as 10 cast to play drag queens in school production)

A manhattan dad nearly choked on his Wheaties when his 14-year-old son timidly asked: "Dad, do I have to wear a dress to school?"

No joke. These conversations went on in kitchens and living rooms around the city, as a top school that educates learning-disabled and autistic children staged a student production of "La Cage aux Folles" -- a cross-dressing, limp-wristed, gay comic romp whose main characters are a pair of "married" men. (snip)

the kiddie version of "La Cage" was cooked up by the executive director of Child School, a private institution on Roosevelt Island that takes on youngsters from kindergarten through middle school.

Some 50 children as young as 10 were cast to play screaming queens, a school assistant told me.

Next: Grammar School versions of “Deep Throat” and “Debbie Does Dallas”.

The child that wins the leading role will be labeled “gay” the rest of the school term.

Rise up, parents! The Tea Party Movement showed we can be effective. Don’t take this stuff anymore! A few who stand up give courage to the others who feel the same as you.

A private institution? I find that surprising.

They will get your kids or grandkids to believe this crap is normal...if they can.

I thought this only happened during the fall of Rome.

Makes me wonder if way back then there were "conservatives" or the ancient-day tea partiers fighting the fall.

From the article: "Maari de Souza, founder and executive director of Child School /Legacy, told me she had good reason to stage the gay-themed play.

"It's a common problem with our youngsters," she said. "Children tease each other about being gay."

A private school?

I send my kids to a private school 50 miles away to get away from this garbage in public school.

Remember when kids used to dress like vegetables for school assemblies?

Now they're dressing like fruit.

I wonder if Rush and his bride plan to invite Elton and his partner to this production.

Indoctrination begins.....................

If kids were born that way, why is there a need to indoctrinate?
