Texas teachers fired after attending a drag show.

Two teachers at a private Christian school in Texas were fired for attending a drag show on their own time and posting about it on social media.

Kristi Maris and a co-worker, another teacher at the First Baptist Academy in Baytown, Texas attended a drag show at downtown Houston restaurant Hamburger Mary’s on July 13. Maris also posted photos on Facebook calling the event a “blast!”

Maris, who worked at the school for 19 years, later received a call from the institution notifying her that she has been fired. Her co-worker was also terminated.

“I feel like we were treated like criminals,” she told ABC 13.

The school’s senior pastor said the teachers were fired because they breached a condition of their employment requiring them to “act in a godly and moral fashion at work, on Facebook and in my community.”

Maris told ABC 13 that she had agreed to the clause, but didn’t realize she was breaking it by going to a drag show.

“They’re entertainers. I would’ve never thought in a million years that this would happen. Never. We were in disbelief. We still are. We were heartbroken. We had relationships with parents and the kids, and I didn’t even get to say goodbye to a lot of the kids,” she said.

Drag shows have been under attack as several conservative governors, including Gov. Greg Abbott (TX), have signed legislation into law restricting drag performances in their states.

Maris, a devoted Christian, told ABC 13 that for almost 20 years she taught her students to “love each other. I’ve talked to them and told them, ‘You have to get along. God loves us all equally.'”

“We should love everybody, and that’s what we’ve been teaching, but they’re expecting us not to do that,” she added.

Hamburger Mary’s has said it will host a benefit to raise money for the women and to “help raise awareness that drag queens and the LGBTQIA+ community are not bad people”.
