SCOOP: MN middle school invites students on a "Q-quest" field trip to attend and perform in a drag show

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Libs of TikTok’s latest repeat offender. Hopkins Public School District in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was featured on LoTT in early 2023 because a “Health Mentor” within the district offered students chest binders and LGBTQ counseling without parental consent. (Go read about it- it’s seriously disturbing!) 

Another concerned parent from the same district reached out to us regarding an LGBTQ field trip being offered to students at Hopkins West Junior High School. Ms. Sami Peterson, a 7th-grade science teacher and Gender and Sexuality Alliance advisor (whatever that is) sent a flyer to parents offering to take their “scholar” on a “Q-Quest.” What’s a Q-Quest? Are they trying to sound like groomers at this point? 

Q-Quest is a two-day “youth pride” event hosted by the Minnesota School Outreach Coalition (MNSOC) that will take place on November 15th & 16th. I’d tell you to guess what’s on the agenda, but you already know. 

That’s right, drag queens! And drag kings. It even looks like they are having youth participate in the same shows as the adult drag performers. I can only imagine the sick content these children will be exposed to. On top of that, MNSOC has set aside time in the schedule for the kids to meet and speak with the drag performers. 

This event is being offered to middle school children, some being as young as eleven years old. Who in their right mind would want a child to be exposed to this display of sexual perversion, let alone skip school to celebrate it?

MNSOC has a sparse website, but they describe themselves as “a coalition of Minnesota students, educators, families, community members, and organizations working within the broad context of schools to address the issues of sexual orientation and gender identity/expression.” 

Other events offered through MNSOC include a Queer Youth Prom, which was held in April of this year.

Hopkins Public School District must be held accountable for overstepping its bounds by offering such a grossly inappropriate event to young children. The majority of taxpayers would be outraged to see their money going to teachers who want to take time off from teaching Math and Science to bring children to a two-day drag show.

The concerned parent added, “While most people are tolerant of an individual who falls into these [LGBTQ]  categories, I wish the school was more focused on educational performance as opposed to the far-left agenda that has overtaken Hopkins schools the past several years.”

Hopkins West Junior High School did not respond to our request for comment.
