Albuquerque principal is removed and some employees on leave after prom drag show

Quick Glance: Controversy Surrounding Prom Drag Show in Albuquerque

The principal of a high school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, has been replaced, and several employees have been placed on administrative leave while an investigation examines a drag queen show during the prom.

The head of Albuquerque Public Schools, Channell Segura, communicated to parents via a letter that the performance occurred during the prom on April 20, with an investigation aimed at clarifying the sequence of events and how it impacted students. Segura was not reachable for comments on Friday.

The drag queen show at the prom stirred controversy and criticism from individuals expressing their dismay and dissatisfaction on the school's official Facebook page, while the district refrained from divulging further information regarding the investigation.

Tennessee governor plans to sign bill that would let teachers carry guns in schools

nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/tennessee-governor-plans-sign-bill-let-teachers-carry-guns-schools-rcna149457

Quick Glance: Tennessee Lawmakers Pass Bill Criminalizing Adults Aiding Minors in Gender-Affirming Care

Tennessee's GOP-controlled Statehouse approved a bill criminalizing adults who help minors receive gender-affirming care without parental consent.

The bill closely resembles language from an anti-abortion trafficking proposal approved by Tennessee Republican lawmakers the day before.

Critics caution about the broad application of the law, ranging from discussing care options with adolescents to aiding in travel to states with looser gender-affirming care restrictions.

Tennessee has enacted more anti-LGBTQ+ laws than any other state since 2015, as identified by the Human Rights Campaign, calling it a staggering assault on their constituents.
