Florida agency targets Miami restaurant over drag shows kids attend
CBSN
The R House restaurant in the Miami neighborhood of Wynwood is the target of a complaint filed by Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration, CBS Miami's Najahe reports. The state alleges that the restaurant's drag shows expose minors to sexually explicit conduct.
At the center of the controversy are videos and images of children at the drag shows. The DeSantis administration's complaint, filed Tuesday, says the weekend Drag Show Brunches expose minors to "sexually explicit drag shows."
"Having kids involved in this is wrong. That is not consistent with our law and policy in the state of Florida and it's a disturbing trend in our society to try to sexualize these young people," said DeSantis.
Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
