This is really a philosopical question. Trans people are a part of society. Some educators want to stop fear and bigotry early by letting the school kids meet a diverse group of people.
This is not my personal opinion but I understand the logic.
I do not equate trans with racial identity because I think that our fights are different but many people see trans folks and minority groups as the same.
So in other words, what's wrong with allowing any adult to read to kids?
Why does it matter that the person in trans?
Again I am playing devil's advocate here.

@Torsten Well you are right. I thought that you were using that term very loosely, not specifically a drag queen.
A drag queen might be going a bit too far for sure but again depending on how liberal the school admins ideology is the logic is the same.
Stopping fear and bigotry against any group in our society. Treating all people as regular folks regardless of how they dress.

@wildbill83 Obviously society at large or at least enough of society(media, political leaders, schools admins or whoever is making decisions) have decided that Drag Queens and or Trans people are a protected non dangerous group of people. They have been provided protected status by the government so this is not considered under the law to be similar to criminals.
I'm not a Trans or Drag Queen advocate. I am pointing out how this can't be easily addressed because there are two distinct ideologies at play and each side has their own point of view.
