A North Carolina community college is “revising” its rules around underage drag shows following a recent incident involving a student getting a lap dance, according to reports.
A drag queen straddled a female student and simulated a lap dance on the teenager at Forsyth Technical Community College, during the school’s Pride Fest. Students as young as 14 were in attendance, according to FOX News.

Footage of the dance was posted by the conservative TikTok account @libsoftiktok.
After doing a stripper-style dance, the drag queen then gives the student a hug as onlookers cheer, according to the footage, which sparked outrage among some right-wing circles online, according to the New York Post.
“Parents of children under 18 were not notified of this event in advance,” Paula Dibley, the school’s chief officer of student success, told FOX.
“We have been in close contact with our early college school leadership and are talking with both leaders and parents about how we can revise campus policies and procedures regarding early and middle college students’ attendance at campus events,” Dibley said.
“All events on campus are entirely voluntary,” Dibley said.
All students were invited to the “drag performance,” hosted by the student-led Pride Club, for “free food, drinks, music & activities,” according to fliers for the event.
Students as young as 14 and older than 65 years old attend the public community college.
