Thank you RGE for this excellent comment and analysis, and for all the great work you do in informing those with ears to hear. The Let Kids Be Kids team spent much of last week looking into this further, and meeting with Cr Robert Lee from Rotorua Lakes Council. We did a deep dive into who Erika and Coco flash are... all of this is on our latest substack. When more people realise what's really going on behind the sequins and big hair, they can make brave stands. https://letkidsbekids.substack.com/p/its-dragging-on-but-were-exposing
With respect, just as a man dressed as a woman is not and cannot be a woman, no child has "two mothers" or "two fathers". It's impossible. A child may have two caregivers of the same sex, one or none of whom may that child's parents. If we care about truth, take one step back and consider that lie as foundational for the subsequent one.
It's like Stripper Story Time. Sure, they could dress more demurely for the kids, but it's essentially a lie, because actual drag or stripper culture is very oriented towards sex.
So why would we want to fool ourselves or our kids into believing otherwise?
Drag is not appropriate for kids, no matter how it's marketed.
The founder of DQST was very clear about its purpose - to indoctrinate kids into Queer Theory (Which advocates for among other things the removal of age of consent laws):
I note the story time attended by an RGE member was for children 12+ years and I am wondering what the real purpose of this was, considering that (in theory) every 12+ student probably considers themselves a bit past the being read to age? I was already reading young adult novels at 12 by myself. At 12, children are prime targets for those who seek to use them to further their own means; "catch 'em early and you've got them for life" has been used by corporations for decades to ensure future profits.
I agree with those who say that if drag queens are good entertainment, then why not strippers or other forms of "adult entertainment"? Parents have a duty of safeguarding their children, which clearly some don't manage. This piece has some photos of some other DQSHs that are deemed acceptable for children, but I disagree: https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-parents
Just a suggestion for the section "Double standard and excuses". You mention pole dancers. My understanding is that pole dancing has become a popular form of exercise for many women. I'd suggest saying lap dancers instead, as it is overtly sexual.
We don't need this noncence in our libraries or schools. Totally agree with the Resist Gender Education,
This gender is pushed by the WEF all over the world to cause infighting amongst parents and causing confusion in our children. They are out to get our children. I dont want these weirdos anywhere near my kids. I will pull them out of school if need.
Why are these people so desperate to read to children anyway, as if it isn’t obvious

Simply part of the global agenda to create confusion around gender, wrong focus on diversity and inclusion, and not appropriate use of libraries.

If there is no nefarious agenda, why do grown men feel the need to wear such costumes, wigs, and make-up to be with young children?
