ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) — A school district has apologized to parents, after hosting a drag queen as part of a career day. A spokesperson for Adams 12 Five Star schools said Rocky Top Middle School staff should have notified parents a drag queen would be speaking to their children, before allowing the speech to happen.
Students at Rocky Top range from 6th to 8th grade. The drag queen, identified as a woman who goes by “Jessica L’Whor,†is a relative of one student. The district confirmed she was invited to attend career day.
“I knew it was going to be controversial because that was nothing that would be allowed when I was in middle school,†L’Whor said. “At the same time, it opened up a door for conversation.â€
