Week long ‘Drag-tastic Summer Camp’ for ages 12-18 help find ‘personas’, ends with ‘private showcase’
An entire one week summer camp is being held in Seattle, Washington devoted to teaching children ages 12-19 how to dress in drag. Titled “Drag-tastic Summer Camp: The Art of Drag”, the camp is being hosted by the Museum of Pop Culture.
The event is being described as giving the young individuals the chance to “investigate drag history” while figuring out their own drag “personas.” Throughout the week, the children will choose their respective drag name, learn “hair and makeup techniques” and develop “your character’s stage presence.”
“Calling all current and future kings and queens! Explore self-expression in MoPOP’s week-long, drag-tastic summer camp!” the description reads. “You’ll choose your name, explore hair and makeup techniques, and develop your character’s stage presence.” It adds the children will “work together with local artists to create your own personas.”
Any local artist signing up to “work” with children on how to become the opposite under the guise of exploring “self-expression” should be monitored and background checked.
The cost to attend is only $370 for the week, until May 31 after which the price increases to $400 for late additions. At the conclusion of the week, participants will “celebrate” their new “drag personas with a private showcase.”
After Department of Education Secretary Miguel Cardona vowed to shut down Grand Canyon University (GCU), the largest Christian university in the U.S., GCU officials are pushing back, telling Fox News Digital the crackdown stems from “deeply held bias.”
In response to Cardona’s comment about shutting down universities like GCU, a GCU spokesperson told Fox News Digital that “officials continue to make derogatory and inflammatory public statements that are legally and factually incorrect and not shared by any of the other 26 regulatory and accrediting bodies that oversee GCU.”
“The Secretary’s comments to the House Appropriations Committee were so reckless that GCU is demanding an immediate retraction, as they do not reflect the factual record in this case. He is either confused, misinformed or does not understand the actions taken by his own agency,” the spokesperson added.
The president of GCU previously expressed to Fox News Digital sentiments of being “unfairly targeted.”
Grand Canyon University President Brian Mueller told FOX News Digital in October why he believes the university is being targeted by the Department of Education.
Cardona made comments during a House Appropriations Committee hearing about cracking down on GCU and other universities like it on April 10.
Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., asked Cardona how the administration is working to shut down GCU, which she called “a predatory for-profit school.”
Cardona openly embraced their enforcement methods, declaring “we are cracking down not only to shut them down, but to send a message to not prey on students.”
“Last year, your Department took action against Grand Canyon University, a predatory for-profit college, over the school’s failure to accurately disclose its cost to students, driving up the true cost for those students requiring for them to pay for continuation courses before they would graduate – scam courses added about $10,000 or more to the cost of education to these kids,” DeLauro said.
“Going after predatory schools preying on first generation students. They have flashy marketing materials, but the product is not worth the paper it is printed on. Increased enforcement budget to go after these folks and crack down. Levied largest fine in history against a school that lied about costs and terminated a school from Title IV. We are cracking down not only to shut them down, but to send a message not to prey on students,” Cardona responded.
GCU appealed a $37.7 million fine imposed by the department in November on allegations that the Arizona-based higher learning institution misled students about the cost of its doctoral programs over several years.

Wake up, America and look around you – 1984 has already happened and very few noticed, and even fewer cared. These events are only the tip of the iceberg. Believe me, there will be more to come.

Children as young as 12 years old?
The organizers should be arrested and locked up for child abuse. And the parents of these children should be put on a register just like pedophiles and rapists. They could hurt children in their own neighborhoods.
Let children be children rather than be pawns in some extremist agenda.

This is EVIL pure and simple. It’s organized child sexual abuse. I’m praying that this event fails miserably and no one shows up.
