Dana Nessel: “A Drag Queen for Every School”
Lansing, Mich., June 15, 2022 – Attorney General Dana Nessel said today that she supports “a drag queen for every school” in Michigan.
Nessel made the statement at the Michigan Department of Civil Rights 2022 Civil Rights Summit in Lansing, Craig Mauger reports:
Barbara Bellinger also reported on another statement Nessel made at the summit that supports drag queens in schools:
While Nessel is actively supporting drag queens for every school, students across Michigan are struggling academically. In 2021, Michigan’s M-STEP scores dropped amidst the pandemic. Students also showed no learning growth this past fall.
“Dana Nessel has the wrong priorities. Instead of supporting students that have failing test scores due to COVID lockdowns, she wants ‘a drag queen for every school’ in Michigan,” said Eric Ventimiglia, Executive Director for Michigan Rising Action. Ventimiglia continued, “Bringing drag queens to schools is not a solution to the many students that suffer from low test scores and low reading levels.”
