When Liberals Attack! Drag Queen Teachers Unite!
NEA Recognizes Drag Queen Group
It shouldn't be a surprise, then, that the NEA has recognized a drag queen caucus at their recent national convention. Headed by Peter J. Konrath (whose picture on Facebook is included here), the group doesn't appear to be advocating for specific drag queen teacher causes, like naming elementary schools for Kathy Griffin, but seems more interested in raising money for scholarships. It is unclear how many caucus members are actually teachers.
According to his Facebook page, Konrath runs The Ricardo Correa Scholarship Foundation, named for Konrath's partner who died in 2004 after what Konrath describes as "a roller coaster of a relationship." The foundation gives out scholarships to gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered (GLBT) students.
Headquartered out of Milwaukee (the center of the drag queen teacher universe), the NEA Drag Queen Caucus holds several "Ric-Fest" events to raise funds, including beer pong tournaments at local Milwaukee gay bars. They also sell trading cards of local gay bartenders and drag queens. $1 will get you a bartender trading card, while $3 will buy you a "shirtless or risqué picture" trading card of a bartender.
The drag queen caucus had a booth at the NEA national convention, and plans to expand their scholarship program nationwide next year.

You have GOT to be kidding. Don't even get me started. The NEA should be investigated for their ultra-liberal agendas...but that wouldn't be "politically correct," would it?
