A longtime teacher at a Houston-area Christian school says she and a co-worker were fired after attending a drag show on her own time earlier this month and posting about the experience on social media. The teacher -- Kristi Maris -- had taught at the school for 19 years. The senior pastor at First Baptist Academy in Baytown, says the teachers' dismissal was related to a violation of the school's operating policies manual. Maris says she did not realize the policies applied to drag shows. She says she's a devoted Christian and taught her students that God loves everyone equally. Last month, Governor Greg Abbott signed into law a bill banning drag performances in the presence of children.
