Practical view....

And yet we give them halloween, they can sit on some strange father christmas in a shopping mall, accept chocolates from a giant bunny, and have been read to at libraries from various characters like clowns and fairies for decades if not more, but a man in drag is too much ?

People overthinking everything is both sad and funny atst.

Heaven forbid we instill a love of reading and creativity in our children 🙄

Why can't the same people read stories not in drag? Isn't it supposed to be about the kids not the readers? But it's not about the kids it's about publicity for drag queens .Using children as pawns to push an agenda.

It's a political tool, I mean 99.9% of drag acts have never even thought about performing in front of school children. Then suddenly it all became like a weapon for the Liberals and Republicans to 'debate' over in America.

And as soon as that happened well lets face it any guy in America can dress up in drag to make a political statement educating kids about gender rights or whatever it is they're really up to, so you've probably got more people doing this now than ever.

I mean I'm from Britain and I remember seeing Bonnie Langford perform as Peter Pan at the theatre with school way back in the 80's and the Two Ronnies on telly in drag just to name a couple of things. I mean drag acts have been around in mainstream culture forever and it was all seen as completely harmless years ago because it had no hidden political agenda too it.

I'm just trying to show how it isn't really drag queens in general that's the problem here. Like you might have a small number of militant drag acts in the whole of America and then a whole bunch of political id!ots backing them up saying how we need to 'educate' school children on all this stuff. When really if kids want to know anything in the 21st century they'd just find out off the internet anyway, so there's really less need to actually go pushing anything on kids now than there's ever been.🤷🏼

There’s a lot in life that isn’t necessary, this post for instance. It’s not hateful or trolling telling you that.

Taking your kids to the theater isn't necessary, teaching them art at school isn't, watching a movie isn't, .... culture isn't a necessity but it's still something people enjoy.

A Drag Queen doesn't confuse kids any more than any other new person they meet or new occurance in their life.
Maybe you project your own confusion on kids?🤔

I don't quite get the reading time. I don't care about drag at all, have fun. I don't think I'd even think about taking kids to a reading event with drag queens. Just wouldn't be on my mind. I could care less about whether people dress up in drag. It's usually for fun and harmless.

Anyone here downplaying people's experiences of childhood abuse or refusing to see the possible dangers this kind of thing can and does bring to children, are no better than those who commit the crimes.

Really? Lily savage, dame Edna,
They were very prominent drag figures as i were growing up. We are the same age range. There were many others too.
Dame edna narrated peter and the wolf for children.
It wasnt confusing for me or others of my age. We knew and it was absolutely fine.
It was entertaining.
It was a thing then as much as it is now
As for them being in schools. Good
Next time they see something outside of their four walls maybe theyll understand something like how very normal it actually is

So don't take your kids to one and let people live their lives.

Agreed. The politically correct world has gone stark raving bonkers. Kids should just be allowed and encouraged to be kids for as long as is humanly possible. They will undoubtedly find out in their own time (probably much earlier than most of us would like) about what strange fruit the world has to offer and whether on not at all they want anything to do with it.

who ever disagrees with it, doesn't have to go, just please don't prevent those that are ok with it, from seeing it,

just as if you don't want to engage in an obline argument, you don't have to

I've known about it for years and it's never bothered me. I think I first saw it in movies. I was like eh. I really don't care or worry about what kids think about it.

They want the confusion so you cant see what they are really doing,, you can buy the news now
