That's your biased opinion.

This year seems to be the year of transitioning the youngest of the children..in schools, in the media, in recommended books.
I don't understand why 4 year olds even need to be introduced to this stuff. They are of an age that they accept everyone without question.

Oh, now I see you added more to your comment. You are agreeing with me that this drag queen stuff is not suitable for young children.

Here you are saying Humpty Dumpty wasn't suitable for kids way back when. Based on what evidence ?

Seems to me the younger generations with their newfound sexual tales are worse off mentally then those that grew up reading Humpty Dumpty and those types of stories.

Same goes for CRT.


And they certainly don't want hormone blockers given to their children. (Yes, that's a thing!)



But the Leftie wackos keep doing it, and silent apologists certainly aren't helping. It's amazing to the majority of us that some people simply don't have sufficient common sense to easily comprehend that 5 year olds shouldn't be learning about drag queens. Period.



It'll have to be remedied in November. Democrat school boards will be decimated, just like in Virginia last November.
Oh, thats great...schools are 'indoctrinating' your kids into this wacky stuff and your idea is to wait til election day, in an attempt to stop it? LOL


Parents back in the day, would have probably taken their shot gun to the school the moment they found out about such a thing.

.

I don't have any kids.


But parents aren't waiting. They've gone to school board meetings and have then been slandered by the Biden FBI as "terrorists" for daring to "attempt to stop it". Har de har har.


They've also already decimated a surplus of Democratic school boards in special elections across the country.


And yes, in November, a mere 5 months from now - it will culminate in a tumultuous and stunning rebuke of the "woke" sickness that has become entrenched in our educational institutions.


But it's not just this issue - there will be a backlash to everything the Left stands for, and - at the Federal Level - the Democratic Party is about to be locked out of any real power for a long time to come.


But it won't be an insurrection. It's called democracy in action.


LOL.

These should get you started. I googled "nursery rhymes with political meaning" I think I first learned about the origins of nursery rhymes back in a college class about Literature in the Elementary School.

Ordered some Pizza Hut to support Book It this weekend. But man, Pizza Hut is just a horrible pizza these days. Bring back the 80s recipes.

What does that have to do with young children and Drag Queens?

Not a thing.
