The award winning playwright for The Little Red Warrior and His Lawyer, Kevin Loring, has released a statement following the viral incident at Regina’s Globe Theatre where several schools walked out of the student matinee when the production featured an unexpected drag queen pole dance. “It's been quite a week for Little Red Warrior and His Lawyer team and the Globe Theatre in Regina. There have been a lot of lies and disinformation being spread in the media about the show. For context, there was a school matinee this week where in the middle of the show some of the schools in attendance felt that the material was "too adult" for their students and opted to leave. They were provided every opportunity to read the play as it is published, and a script was offered for them to read. Also an email was sent to each school outlining the nature of the work and the content in it. Despite this, the show became too much for the teachers and they opted to leave with their students. Which is fine. I understand that the school that stayed, enjoyed the work very much. However, someone from the audience took a video of the performance and posted it online accompanied with lies about the nature of the performance and with embellishments about the conduct of the actors. Since then, right wing media from around the world has taken it up and spread lies and disinformation about the play. All of them targeting the artist playing Lizzy, The Queen for their disparagement and disinformation. Based on the nature of the remarks and criticism it is clear that none of the "journalists" read the play or have seen the work. In fact The National Post published an opinion piece about the play by Jamie Sarkonak where she states. "I haven't seen the play, but I don't have to." Because of course. However her description of Lizzy- "... where a drag queen plays a gyrating, rump thrusting, boob-jiggling version of Queen Elizabeth II in an underbust corset." might make into my pitch package when I try to sell more productions of the show down the road. These articles, mostly from the right wing media, have of course caused a flood of online hate and disinformation directed towards the artist from across the country and around the world. Many articles make it seem as though the scene is their doing rather than the product of a creative process lead by me. The schools were informed ahead of time of the content and at no time do any of the actors do anything to any members of the audience, other than make them laugh and hopefully think. Satire is meant to be tough, and funny. This play, I dare say, is both. I stand by the work. I stand shoulder to shoulder with the brave artists who are killing it everyday on those boards. I am so proud of them and I am proud of this production. I am grateful for the Leadership of The Globe Theatre for their support during this controversy. Sometimes theatre challenges and challenging theatre needs leadership to stand their ground in the face of backlash. Audiences continue to enjoy the work. Sales are good. However we have had to put security measures in place for the artists and have cancelled the upcoming student matinee that was previously scheduled for next week. If those students want to see the show they will now have to pay full price for a ticket instead of the discounted school rate. If you know any of the artists in the show please send them your love. Especially our brave Queen. We are all wrapping our arms around them right now. Be brave. humleth shnookshnookwas Kwookstayup K”

'It was horrible to watch': Saskatchewan students speak out on explicit drag field trip The corrupt, lazy mainstream media sold Little Red Warrior and His Lawyer at the Globe Theatre as a 'trickster fable' to the public. If the permission slips that went home to Saskatchewan parents for an end-of-year field trip were accurate, they would have said: Do you give your permission for your child to attend a production that contains subject matter not appropriate for public consumption? The production included scenes depicting: -Explicit, sexually graphic content -Glorification of violence -Promotion of hatred against an identified group Explicitly sexualized themes, including simulations of intercourse, straddling, fisting, dry humping, grinding, extra marital affairs, threesomes, pregnancy as a result of the threesome, cuckholding, foot worship, bondage and dominance, erotic dancing, nymphomania and fetishism, pregnancy degradation, and implied physical child abuse of an infant -Objectification of women, including white women, female lawyers, Premier Danielle Smith and Queen Elizabeth II as deviant sexual objects Glorification of Binge drinking, roofying, and psychedelics -Anti-development, anti-oil, anti-western culture sentiments -But that's not what the permission slip said. Not even close. The corrupt, lazy mainstream media sold Little Red Warrior and His Lawyer at the Globe Theatre as a "trickster fable" to the public. Regina Public Schools and the Globe Theatre now blame each other while simultaneously claiming to have done nothing wrong. Now, as always, Rebel News is pleased to tell the other side of the story — including insights from five of the brightest, most thoughtful and engaged young people from Saskatchewan. They're a good sampling of the 400-some students from 14 classrooms who were exposed — without their or their parents' consent or knowledge — to the drag queen field trip. Although they're all 18, in order to safeguard their dignity and privacy — something Regina Public Schools couldn't manage — as well as due to the sensitivity of the subject matter, Rebel News has obscured their identities. What they and 395 of their classmates did was extraordinary. They turned what was supposed to be an innocent field trip into an international media event. Close to 400 brand new baby independent journalists were born that day; that's something to be proud of. They reveal everything. Not only do they lay waste to the official statements offered by Regina Public Schools and the Globe Theatre, but they add much-needed context to the 10-second drag queen video we all saw last week They were intelligent, intuitive, and thoughtful beyond their years, describing the field trip, the play and the worldwide attention as they experienced it.

This principal got a text from another school after a hockey game and was expecting the worst. Turns out a woman had fallen and one of his students helped her out. More schools should highlight the good their students do.

🚨Texas schools refuse to remove violent, disruptive students. Andrew Meismer was stabbed to death by Aundre Matthews, a student who bragged about his rap sheet and had been reported by dozens of teachers, parents and other students. The refusal to remove students with multiple offenses stems from a bloated Texas administrative system that puts the burden on teachers to manage hellish scenarios because every student has a price tag attached to them.

🚨BREAKING –– Footage from Marietta High School in GA this morning shows hundreds of students being physically blocked by administrators from engaging in a student-organized walkout in defense of immigrants and all people being terrorized by ICE. Reportedly the superintendent of the Marietta Schools system attempted to physically restrain students as students demanded to assert their constitutionally protected first amendment rights to assemble and peacefully protest. This despicable behavior of intimidation and harassment of students by school administrators should be condemned by all and they will be held accountable! We stand with the thousands of students across Georgia courageously walking out of classes today in protest of the racist mass deportation machine!
