Local student is being denied the role for not be assigned male at birth. Now they've decided that Oklahoma is too controversial of a play and includes graphic scenes not fit for minors so they're pulling the whole show. Bunch of asshats at Sherman, TX ISD.

Edit: I will try to answer any comments I can. I do not personally know the student. I can't really speak for trans folks as I'm just an ally who wants better for this kiddo and all trans people.

Now they're acting like it was never about Max and that it was the adult themes in "Oklahoma" . They dropped the gender rule and the play is postponed until January. No promise of Max keeping his role. I'll be surprised if they aren't buying time so the original lead can take the part back.
