Is a drag show free speech.

Indeed. Drag shows are not age appropriate for school children.

The parents were not advised.

Being a socially conservative "economic socialist," I also "feel" that drag shows are not the first call, go to choice for children's entertainment.
On the other hand, neither would I consider them especially harmful.
If nothing else, they provide opportunity for parent-child discussion.

In the early 1950s, popular TV personality Milton Berle did a drag schtick that was considered hilarious even in those relatively puritanically times.
I'm sure that Frank or Eagle could confirm.

Much has been made nationally about drag shows targeting children, so we asked if readers think parents should be allowed to take their kids to sexually explicit events.

Here is a sample of the responses we received.

“It is child abuse so parents shouldn’t initiate it by taking their kids to these shows.” – Rachel Salajean

“If parents think that they should be allowed to take their innocent children to a drag queen show THEY ARE NOT FIT TO BE PARENTS!! I absolutely believe in a parents right for most things like the choice for vaccines and school choice, but this is so perverted, the parents AND the queens need to be stopped!” – Christine Gerval

“While I don’t like parents taking them to explicit drag shows, it is their right, no matter how stupid or morally wrong it is. We must find a way to stop the school districts and some churches from holding these events.” – Charles Webb

“We are required by law to protect our children by buckling them into seatbelts, so why should be not be required to protect them from predators?” – Charlene Roberson

“Chapter 43 of the Texas Penal Code criminalizes the presentation of drag shows to minors. If the material presented is ‘patently offensive to prevailing standards in the adult community as a whole with respect to what is suitable for minors.’ The problem is, THIS trash is apparently now within acceptable standards, which is a shining example of our society’s overall moral decay. The root of the problem is deeper than laws.” – Travis Gundelach

“Drag queens have no good reasons to bring their perverse grotesquerie to children, and that is to corrupt and/or abuse them. I though corruption of a minor or indecency with minors was a crime? When did it become legitimate or something any sane person would promote?” – Madeleine

Flip Wilson also dressed in drag, it was a very popular skit and considered family entertainment. I remember Milton Berle’s drag character.

Texas, imo to its detriment but that's not important, is not LA or NY. Opinion there might vary. We are not a monolithic nation.

So, what is your opinion? Why are these shows inappropriate?

What law?
Why should taking kids to this "drag show" be against the law?

If "this trash is apparently now within acceptable standards" how is it "patently offensive to prevailing standards in the adult community as a whole", sounds to me like you made a case that it is not against that law.

That's Travis' opinion, the fact that it is against the law in Texas is not an opinion.

Travis is lamenting the fact that the far left loons think it is within acceptable standards. Good grief.

Cease with the intentional obtuseness...or perhaps it is not intentional.

I did not ask about the value, I asked why it would not be appropriate?

You just answered your own question... it's not appropriate ...or necessary...for a school activity... unless you can answer the question I asked oroginally...what value would it be?
