Parents and MPs have reacted with fury after a secondary school urged children as young as 11 to wear “full-blown drag” for Pride day.
New Mills School, in the Peak District in Derbyshire, has sparked a warning from a leading MP over its “Drag ‘n’ Rainbows” themed non-uniform day on June 16, to mark June being global Pride month.
In a letter to all parents, shared with the Telegraph, the school said “we are encouraging all students of all genders to wear something rainbow or colourful” on what it is calling “Pride day”.
“They may express themselves by doing something small like wearing a tutu, make-up, or painting their nails, to going all out in full blown drag,” the letter said.
But it has sparked a backlash from parents and some staff members at the school, while the chairman of the Commons education select committee said he was “concerned” about Britain’s teachers going too far this Pride month.
