Wow, thanks for bringing this to light. That’s a real shame that the lawmakers are so scared of nothing, and are insistent on such ridiculous agendas of promoting bigotry.
So, one question, with this potential law change in Arkansas does this mean schools won’t be allowed to put on Shakespeare’a Twelth Night going forwards?

This is where that last requirement comes into play. As I wrote, under the bill, "the performance must be 'intended to appeal to the prurient interest.'" The real question would come down to whether all drag is interpreted to "appeal to the prurient interest." It should not, and I don't think it would — but that wouldn't stop the bill, if passed, from having a chilling effect. Some places likely would shy away from certain productions that they think could violate the law. (Others, of course, might put them on in opposition to — or even as a challenge to — the law.)
