Letter: Leave issues of sexuality and gender to the parents
On April 5, Eagle County School District determined that the best use of taxpayer funds and educational time was to take 8-, 9-, and 10-year-old children to the Vilar Performing Arts Center so they could watch a performance depicting a male transitioning to a female, complete with tutus and makeup (mixed in with some excellent acrobatics). The show culminated in a provocatively dressed, full-grown man dancing in a sexual manner in front of children. All of this happened without parental knowledge or consent. By Superintendent Phil Qualman’s own admission during his public apology, the performance hurt children.

"The show concludes with a drag queen on a trapeze, depicting the idea of how to be in love with who you are."
Overall, the troupe hopes to remind adults how to play and have fun.
