Great! The you don't have to worry about the roving packs of drag queens that the rest of us encounter day after day. It's so tiresome. They keep pushing beauty products and insist on reading to us.

It was what their parents wanted.

I would love to run into a roving pack of drag queens! I see them on my commute but never in a pack trying to read to me. And they do have the best makeup.

Seriously, I had heard a story, I think on NPR, about this program. It's voluntary and incredibly popular.

And? Parents were free not to being their children to story time. It's a nothingburger, as Trump supporters like to say.

"Gender-neutral"...I don't know why but it makes me feel like being a "number" like that old tv series "The Prisoner".

Best I can tell most of the one off Drag Queen Story Time events are held in libraries.

I did find that one of NYC’s Unzoned Schools ( similar to a charter) in Brooklyn hosted an in- school story time event.

There is a waiting list for this school. Majority of students are white, native English speakers. Test scores for this school are far above state averages.

When I think back to the propaganda I was fed in Catholic elementary education.....

Who cares? As if this is the biggest problem in the world.

How many children in the world starved to death in the last 24 hours? Isn’t that a bigger problem?
