On June 30, I attended the 2018 Summer Performing Arts Academy's "Blown Away Broadway" production. All of the children were darling, singers amazing, and the performance was fun — until, at the end of a performance of "Officer Krupke" from "West Side Story," when the children/cast put their fists in the air and shouted, "Trump you, Officer Krupke."
Is that the left's watered down way of saying, " F*** you, Officer Krupke?" I don't believe any of the children were mature enough to understand what this was intended for. The easiest people to brainwash or hypnotize are students and children.
The left is pushing its agenda at most colleges, at high schools (Parkland was a good example, as no teenagers could have organized so quickly), and now at a children's performance. I realize the "arts" can be very liberal, but using children for a political statement was very tacky!
