it's grooming, why else would they want to read to children? why is there a push from the left to allow prepubescent children and teens under 18 to have gender change surgery, and to hide things from parents/legal guardians?
We get that… and no problems from me… it’s just why the push to read with kids? Someone else said it earlier but nobody cared until storytime.
"A woman shall not wear man’s clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman’s clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God. "
I honestly think it became a problem then because people saw children as an excuse to voice their opinions on something they don’t like. Of course that doesn’t speak for everyone, but I truly believe that is why it has become such a big deal. People do the same thing with gun violence. It’s a “safe space” of sorts to voice opinions.
Drag has nothing to do with gender affirming surgery though. If anything it is the exact opposite.
It's interesting that you contrasted drag storytime with a religion analogy. A huge problem with secular society is that it's self-righteous adherents view their morality as some kind of neutral, unquestionable, self-evident standard, instead of a competing moral system that some people might not want. While religious communities — at least for the most part — just want to practice their faith unmolested, including how they raise their children and what values they teach them.
it starts with grooming, creating confusion in young children, etc.
I disagree. It became a problem when children were exposed to it. Going "Drag" is an adult concept meant for mature adults.
I'm sure it is a lot more than a dozen. A dozen in L.A. maybe but it has been shown to be growing across America. And I don't believe that a handful of dudes came up with a program. They were asked to come to the school by parents and teachers (I am assuming). Which is the other half of this problem. The sketchy clowns, magicians and balloon dudes are there for sure but there is no sexual element in there "performance". Also, I realize that drag people are not in drag all day long (at least most of them) and that it is for a performance. I just don't feel that those performances should be in front of children. And just "doing whatever you want" is not always right. As I raise my children, I want them to learn what is appropriate and what is not appropriate. There are other ways to teach kids to be happy and 'just doing whatever you want' is not part of that. At least not my immediate family.
Gender 'affirming' surgery is just a fancy way of saying gender mutilation to change the parts of your body to fit what is going on in your mind. A man who wants to dress up as a woman and talk and dance like a woman is a lot closer to that same mind then you want to believe.
I only compared it ti religion because the post I was responding to mentioned a hypothetical “religious” story hour and also mentioned having to explain drag to children.
why do they want access to other people's kids?
I dunno man. I know a lot of dudes that do drag, and not one of them thought they were actually a women. I’m sure there are some, but I don’t think it’s common.
FYI - I wasn't trying to indicate that "Jewish Story Hour" would be religious necessarily. I was trying to draw a comparison to what I thought the goal of the '_______ story hour' was all about. Educating kids and making certain groups of people seem less threatening. To teach inclusivity. Is that not what Drag Queen Story Hour is all about?
Sure, part of it is certainly to teach inclusivity and being yourself. None of that is a bad thing unless you have a personal prejudice against drag, or find it “threatening” to begin with.
