Okay.No, I didn't, hence the need to ask.
Are you under the impression that drag is the same as stripping?
What gave you that idea?
Or that you can teach sex education without details of sex acts?
Teaching the reproductive process to middle and high school students? Absolutely. Teaching about sex acts to children? No.
It seems like you do since you have a problem with them reading to kids.
My feelings about transgenders and their chosen lifestyle and having them read to schoolchildren are two different things. Having said that, it seems to me that drag queen story time is pointless and unnecessary. We can teach children tolerance without such in-your-face measures that will probably only confuse them.
Do you also have a problem with people dressing up like Disney characters and reading to kids because it's the same damn thing.
Disney characters are fictional and both the adults and children understand this. The characters are also heroes or otherwise represent goodness and other virtues in their respective stories that the children know and admire. Drag queens are just guys who like to dress up as women. It's not quite the same.
You're confusing two separate things.
Did I suggest they were the same thing?
Drag time story hour is just drag queens coming to read to kids. The graphic books in middle and highschools, some of which high-school, illustrated biographies of the authors own experiences at that age, are about sex education.
No, they're not. Teaching sexual reproduction and teaching sex are two different things.
Educating about their bodies, respect and consent is fine as far as it goes. But educating about graphic sex acts is something else entirely.That sort of sexualizing of young girls has been going on forever. Educating young boys and girls about their bodies, about respect, and consent is what avoids exploitation.
