An Iowa mother attended a school board meeting dressed up in the costume of a drag performer who had performed for students at the local high school. Kimberly Reiks went to the Ankeny School Board meeting wearing a black, high cut body suit, with one shoulder showing, and tall black boots.

Reiks' purpose was to show the school board what was being permitted at local schools, and to show that this was not at all acceptable for school-sponsored entertainment. Reiks, who is a founder of the local Mama Bears, demanded that the board apologize and pass a resolution "to make sure that this doesn't happen again on school grounds," the Des Moines Register reports.

Bloody well good for her. I don’t really care what other “alignments” she has, I don’t need to agree with any of them, but this one she is 100% correct and should be applauded.

@Quartz2208 so often I look at the people I'm seemingly aligned with and I have to really question have I missed something massive? Like am I on the wrong side?

I don’t think I hate a word at the moment more than “align”.

FFS.

Whereas I support what she did here I am not sure that the aims of Iowa Mama Bear is necessarily something I would want to be aligned with

Not all sheroes wear capes.

Crazy that the most effective way for a woman to get her serious point across is to STILL to dress like a man while she’s making it (only now that means dressing as a man wearing sexy-female-sterotype-clothing, rather than the traditional Thatcher style power suit) but here we are.
