In a stunning turn of events that has left the usually staid halls of Northwood High buzzing like a Beyoncé concert, Mrs. Henderson, the previously staunch opponent of all things LGBTQ+ related, has been appointed the school's Pride Ambassador. Remember Mrs. Henderson? The one who banned the Gay-Straight Alliance's bake sale (apparently, 'rainbow cupcakes' were a 'gateway drug to communism') and insisted that Shakespeare's sonnets were 'inherently heteronormative'? Well, she's had a… revelation.

It all started, according to sources, with a rogue glitter bomb. Apparently, a group of students, employing guerilla tactics worthy of the French Resistance (or at least, a really enthusiastic book club), deployed a glitter bomb during Mrs. Henderson’s notoriously dull lesson on the Pythagorean theorem. The result? Mrs. Henderson, initially horrified, found herself inexplicably moved by the sheer iridescent audacity of it all. She then reportedly watched a marathon of RuPaul’s Drag Race, prompting a complete existential crisis which culminated in a dramatic, tearful confession during the school’s next faculty meeting.

'I was wrong,' Mrs. Henderson sobbed, her voice thick with the emotional weight of thousands of years of repressed societal norms and a surprisingly detailed knowledge of Sasha Velour's infamous rose petal reveal. 'My rigid adherence to antiquated notions of heteronormativity was blinding me to the vibrant beauty of the rainbow. Those cupcakes… they weren't communist infiltration; they were tiny flags of freedom!'

Now, armed with a newly acquired arsenal of drag queen catchphrases and an unwavering belief in the power of glitter, Mrs. Henderson is spearheading the school's Pride Week celebrations, with plans for a 'Drag Queen Story Hour' featuring Chad Michaels (pending parental consent forms that require explicit disclosure of all family members' political affiliations) and a school-wide 'Queer Prom' complete with a gender-neutral bathroom policy (though Mrs. Henderson insists that these bathrooms should be 'gender-fluid' and not just 'gender-neutral').

While some parents remain skeptical (one particularly irate father was overheard muttering something about 'cultural Marxism' and 'the decline of Western civilization'), most students have embraced the transformation with open arms and enough rainbow confetti to fill a small stadium. As for Mrs. Henderson? She's apparently found her true calling. Although, I did hear a rumor that she’s been adding a surprisingly liberal amount of glitter to the school’s meatloaf recipe, which… we’re watching closely.
