I'm pretty middle of the road on most things but you and I will definitely have to agree to disagree.
Also, I realize you were not addressing me personally and that I am the one jumping into the conversation.
The fact that these words - "Drag Story Hour" - are even in a sentence together is a problem for me. It is confusing for children. Period. Let them grow up as kids without adults injecting confusion. It can be confusing enough growing up. Then, if they want to go to Drag shows when they are 18 or whatever - fine. PS: I don't hate people in drag or gay people. I have friends and some family that are gay/trans/etc. But I don't have to agree with it, and so therefore, that is my opinion and I'm allowed to my opinion.
I get that some people want their kids to be taught inclusivity and to 'not be afraid of drag or gay people'. However, if that is true then we should have Native American Indian Story Hour and Jewish Story Hour and Elderly Story Hour and Mentally Handicapped Story Hour and Disabled Veteran Story Hour. Hell, Disabled Veteran Story Hour would be at the top of my list. So if they did a different Story Hour once a month and invited peoples representative of 12 (figure 9 as school is not year round in most places) different groups and Drag Queens were one of them, I'd feel more sympathetic. Luckily, my 3 boys are all adults and out of the 'education system' but if my local public school held a drag queen story hour in front of my boys without me knowing about it - I'd be pretty furious. I know that will rub you wrong (if you've read this far
). I would have taken them out of school that day. PS: My wife and I read plenty to our kids growing up, I'd say higher than average. 2 or 3 books each every night even before they were born. I'm a huge proponent of reading to your kids.
