A recent drag queen workshop for seventh graders in Sutton, Massachusetts has raised questions about why schools aren’t conducting mandatory background checks on the controversial performers.
Maureen Graves, a local police dispatcher and one of many residents who have publicly opposed the workshops, said at a recent school board meeting that the Sutton superintendent confirmed to her that the hired drag queen “Diva D” did not undergo the state’s CORI check required for any adult working around children.
