Texas teacher says parents 'should not have the final say' in school drag queen event

A Texas teacher says that parents should not be able to stop schools from hosting drag queen events.
According to news reports, Willis High School English teacher Anthony Lane took to Facebook to scold parents who were outraged that a drag queen performer had been invited to the school to instruct students how to apply make-up in a cosmetology class. In a post that has since been removed, Lane allegedly said the school's parents were beholden to "misguided, bigoted views" that were driven by their "archaic beliefs."
Faithwire obtained a screenshot of Lane's alleged post and a transcript of it can be found below:
I believe that raising a child is the responsibility of the community, and that parents should not have the final say. Let's be honest, some of you don't know what is best for your kids.
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.
If you want your children educated with your values, find a private school that will do it. The public education system is not here to serve your archaic beliefs.
Lane also spoke in favor of the event at a school hearing on the matter where he reportedly tied objections to the drag queen's appearance to homophobia. "I think as a district we need to make an initiative to teach our kids to be tolerant and respectful," he said.
The controversy began when a teacher invited a drag queen named Lynn Adonis-Deveaux to address a cosmetology class at Willis High School, according to Community Impact Newspaper.
"I've got a problem when somebody with a false name enters a school and has advertised himself as an adult exotic dancer for men … Nobody would be allowed in a school under those circumstances," Inman added, while noting Adonis-Deveaux is free to do what he wants in his personal life. "As a parent, I have a right to know who's in that school building," he said.
Community Impact Newspaper also reported the school included the "Drag Queen/Makeup Class" event in its monthly calendar. However, it is unclear if Adonis-Deveaux is a licensed cosmetologist.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Remember these people are the same ones that said if you don't like what's on the TV just change the channel. Seems it doesn't work the other way.

People pay for the schools and teacher salaries.

The most important thing to consider here is that liberals are perfectly willing to surrender their parenting rights of their own kids in service to their ideology.
Just imagine what they would be willing to do to yours

Spoiler alert, if your son is in cosmetology class, you already made him gay.

Let's be honest, this guy would have to go. THIS is a Stalinist view of child rearing if there ever was one, the state having more say than the parents.
The parents should storm the next school board meeting and either he goes, or they do.

She forgets who pays for the school and her salary.
