This Teacher Dresses in Costume in Class. Montana Law Might Consider That 'Drag'

Corcoran sued city and state officials, alleging that the new law was “a breathtakingly ambiguous and overbroad bill” that is an unconstitutional and “draconian” breach of free speech. Other plaintiffs include organizations that host all-ages drag events and an independent theater that receives state funding, which worries that some of its films and live performances could be caught in the law’s broad net.

The bill’s main author, Republican Rep. Braxton Mitchell, said in an email to TIME that “this bill is meant to keep hyper sexualized events out of taxpayer funded schools and libraries.” He said that the legislation “is not going to affect what Rachel thinks it’s going to affect.

It’s totally false. I have never considered myself to be drag queen or king. Neither have my students. If dressing up in a costume counts as that, it’s sort of like the Pictionary version of the actual art form—a very gross, crude version of drag, which entails real art, beauty, and wonderfulness.It’s not something I do all the time. But there’s a big celebration around homecoming where we have different dress-up days. That’s fun to participate in because students see a different side of you.

I have a kiddo who dressed up as Gandalf because he listened to the Lord of the Rings audiobook; just knowing, that counts, and that’s reading, and you’re doing great. Just any of those ways to celebrate a student’s success are important and I really hope that other teachers will continue to find ways to connect and support their students.
