    I'm so confused. Why does the person reading to children have to be in drag? I don't get it.

      but why do you need Drag queens to read books for kids? What's the end goal?
      There are better ways to foster tolerance and compassion. Cause if kids search "drag queen" on google... that's a wrong world they are to discover

      Shakespeare wasn't exactly kids literature. Drag in Films was cool, like the Patrick Swyze one, or Cage Aux Folles, but also for older people. And kids'/family films like Mrs Doubtfire or St Trinians, there is a full character crossdressing, with a real, fun story around them, that makes all the difference. This event seems kind of weird.

    they forced this kid to participate in something that infantalized him and that he clearly wasn't interested in. zero respect for the child as a person. this is about forcing politics on children. it would be far better if we taught our children to think critically instead of indoctrinating and demeaning them like this...

    I thought it was about reading & literature for kids. This isn't even a story!? Kind of split on this - it's like doctrinal training for kids. You could easily switch "okay" with "haram", and kids would hardly know the difference. It looks awkward, to be honest.
