Ron DeSantis Deems Drag Show 'Inappropriate,' Considers Investigating Parents
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is considering using child protective services to investigate parents who bring their children to see drag performances.
During a Wednesday press conference, DeSantis said he’d consider investigating parents, just as Florida Rep. Anthony Sabatini (R) proposed, to “terminate the parental rights” of an adult and hit them with a felony charge if they bring their children to watch drag shows.
“We have child protective statutes on the books,” DeSantis said.
“We have laws against child endangerment. It used to be kids would be off-limits. Used to be everybody agreed with that. Now it just seems like there’s a concerted effort to be exposing kids more and more to things that are not age appropriate,” he added.
DeSantis added that a video from the show in Dallas was “totally inappropriate” and “not something children should be exposed to.”
