Videos on TikTok from the Atrisco Heritage Academy High School prom, held at a local convention center on April 20, showed the drag performer, Mythica Sahreen, dancing around while wearing boots, stockings, and a body suit as students watched.The TikTok videos were later shared and broadcast by local NBC affiliate KOB, sparking outrage among parents.

Students who attended the prom told KOB they weren’t offended, but were surprised and a little uncomfortable about the performance, with several telling the news station they thought a drag performance at prom wasn’t age-appropriate for minors.“[They] could have kept it more on the side of like it being more PG,” one student said. “The fact that they kind of did twerk on a couple students…wasn’t exactly the best, but it was something that did happen.

And they did let students twerk on them.”Another student described the performer’s outfit as “skimpy” and complained that it revealed too much.At one point during the performance, Sahreen removed a breast pad from the outfit and dabbed her face with it to soak up sweat.The students who spoke with KOB said they didn’t know who invited or approved the drag performance, but believed it was organized based on the way the DJ introduced Sahreen.“Offended isn’t what most people were, they were kind of just like ‘Why?'” one student said.On April 24, Atrisco Heritage Academy’s Facebook page was flooded with angry comments calling the show inappropriate for minors.
