Parents at a Halifax-area, Nova Scotia school are furious that Oyster Pond Academy allowed a drag queen to deliver a presentation on gender identity to kids aged 12 to 15. Some parents pulled their children from class on Friday to protest the school’s decision.
Teo Ferguson, who calls himself nonbinary and works as a drag queen, shared some of his social media pages – replete with sexualized material – with the children, the Daily Mail reported. Ferguson also works at The Youth Project, a non-profit that influences young people to transition to another gender identity or experiment with their sexual orientation. Ferguson told the Daily Mail that the school kids were instructed in how “queer-identifying people” go about expressing their gender.
