The war on children is being carried out by republicans.

1 in 7 American children live in poverty, and Trumps budget cuts 5% of the budget from "Women, Infants, and Children nutrition program (WIC.)" WIC is a program that reduces infant and maternal mortality.

Republicans in Washington want to cut free school lunch programs for low income students.

Republicans oppose healthy school lunch programs aimed at combating childhood obesity.

Trumps/republican corporate deregulation is allowing more chemicals into our environment that cause birth defects.

Trumps budget cuts funding for children with developmental disabilities.

Trumps budget cuts $8.5 billion dollars from the Education Department budget, and Trump wants to cut education spending by 12%.

Trump wants to cut crisis hotlines, rape crisis centers, and community outreach programs that reduce rapes in American schools.
https://www.thecut.com/2017/01/what-...l-assault.html

ex.ex.

And republicans have already transferred funding for the above children's programs to the richest 0.1% of Americans via the Trump tax cuts.

How does a story about acceptance do all that? And in such a short time? Those drag queens must also be magicians!

Yeah, indoctrinating children toward acceptance. How awful.

Hahaha, good point! Probably every male comedian who ever existed has donned a wig now at least once in his career. Certainly didn't "turn" them, though ...

Where did you get your medical degree again?

You keep saying that, but I don't think you know what it means - both "pedaling" and "gender fluidity".

Uh-huh. And who's determining that girls must be girls and boys must be boys?

And that boys who dress like girls must be as stereotypically female as possible, huge hair, overdone makeup, foot long finger nails. Because that's what *women* look like, right?
Understanding satire and other forms of comedy isn't your strong suit, is it?

Again, this is directly from the website.
Adults reading to children - showing them that there are all kinds of people in this world and pointing out that there are not "girl clothes" or "boys' toys" (directly from the website) - sounds like a positive role model to me.

FYI, while you all are clutching at your pearls, this is still a complete non-event locally.

Enjoy your drama queen-ing.

Article
I don't see how this is bad, unless the drag queen was Rudy Guilliani. Even then, the issue would not be that a drag queen was reading to children, it would be that a traitor was.

Who cares? Just a human reading stories to kids. Unless something more happened that we don't know about.

I really hope they were able to find something else to watch. Why there would be outrage over it is totally beyond my comprehension. Then again, I don't expect everyone to behave the way I want them to.

If the children don’t know, why can’t these individuals wear men’s clothing?

Of course the children know. It’s the whole point.

"Selling the lifestyle"...? Oh, come now. As far as I know no one has ever been warped out of shape because a man wore a dress in public.

If you are equivocating crossdressing with being gay, let me assure you, that is not the case. And no one is going to change anyone's sexual orientation by wearing any outfit. Children know from an early age which sex they are attracted to. Sexual orientation is hard wired in at birth.

What "mental illness" are you talking about?

Why is the left so hell-bent on having men dressed as women being around children?

What's the goal, here?
