New York City shelled out more than $200,000 in taxpayer funding in the past five years to have drag queens come into classrooms and interact with schoolchildren as young as age 3, according to a report.
The nonprofit Drag Story Hour NYC, previously known as Drag Queen Story Hour NYC, received approximately $207,000 in taxpayer funding since 2018, the New York Post reported, citing city records.
The total includes a $50,000 contribution from New York State through its Council on the Arts, along with $157,000 earmarked from New York City’s Departments of Education, Cultural Affairs, Youth and Community Development, and even from the Department of Transportation, according to the Post.
Records show that the non-profit received $46,000 from city contracts for appearances at public schools, street festivals and libraries in May alone ahead of Pride month.
The events involve cross-dressed drag performers reading to school children at public schools, libraries and other LGBTQ centers, but has expanded to also include coloring activities. Photos show drag performers also instructing children in classrooms how to apply drag makeup.
According to a reading list the non-profit shared online, performers read a variety of books ranging from classics like "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" and "The Rainbow Fish," which discuss topics like growth, acceptance and diversity, to others that more overtly discuss gender identity, such as "The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish Swish Swish" and "The Dragtivity Book."
According to its website, Drag Story Hour NYC so far this year has produced 49 Drag Story Hour programs for 34 individual public schools and special needs schools in English, Spanish, and Cantonese.
"It costs us $600 to produce each DSH program, but we only charge public schools $300 per program, and we offer a limited number of free programs for schools that can't afford the fee," according to the website, which asks for donations.
"Last year, we received $3900 from the NYC Department of Education to subsidize our free and low-cost programs in public schools. This year, we didn’t receive that funding and had to stop offering programs at our subsidized rate toward the end of the school year. This Pride month, we’re aiming to raise $6000 so that we can continue to provide free and low-cost programs for public school this fall."
Some parents who spoke to the Post said they were given advance notice about the drag events at their children’s schools but were not given an option to opt out, while other parents said they were given no advanced notice at all and only learned about the events afterward.
Reached by the Post, the New York City Department of Education defended the program as "life-saving."

If my tax money was spent on such woke BS I'd do my utmost to have the responsible politicians thrown out.
I'd also remove my kids from such a system.

A whole $200k out of a income tax budget of (PIT) of $12 billion, which is only 20% of their annual budget!
Get a grip you plebs.

Maybe you will sing from a different hymn sheet when your eight year old son comes and ask you if boy can become a girl or vice versa because of the hogwash he's been fed at school,and that is in rural Devon. I can't imagine what it would be like in the larger cities.
Quod scripsi, scripsi
I could understand it if they were bringing them into the classroom to point a stick at. But this!!!
Horrific!

To answer your hysterical question.
Then if that happens I’d talk to him, as any father would, and explain in terms even you would understand. The same when he comes home and said little Simon in his class said his dad is King of Saturn.
Then he’d go outside and play and forget all about it, until he gets to 18 where he can be what “they” want.

I am with you on this one YTP. Amazing the bullshit that Fox pedals as news. They typically run this crap as deflection against gun deaths or their involvement in an election coup attempt.
Don't want to talk about that now, do they? The far right create this bs with their LibsofTikTok account and the real sheeple lap it up like catnip during a crisis. Here is another take on this matter from MediaMatters.org
Members of white nationalist groups, including the Proud Boys and Patriot Front, attempted to disrupt LGBTQ Pride events featured in right-wing media
WRITTEN BY JOHN KNEFEL
RESEARCH CONTRIBUTIONS FROM KAYLA GOGARTY & JEREMY TUTHILL
PUBLISHED 06/13/22 2:56 PM EDT
At least three Pride Month events were targeted by right-wing groups over the weekend, a continuation of recent violence and escalating threats against trans people and LGBTQ spaces. Two of the anti-LGBTQ protests were precipitated by an implicit call to action from the far-right, anti-LGBTQ Twitter account Libs of TikTok.
The recent wave of confrontations comes amid an escalation of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric among far-right media figures and politicians. The right has manufacured a narrative that gay and trans people are “grooming” children, fueled in large part by Libs of TikTok and magnified by Fox News. In some cases, that anti-trans rhetoric has taken the form of direct calls to violence, as when Fox News’ biggest star Tucker Carlson said teachers who discuss gender identity should be “beaten up.”
In San Lorenzo, in the San Francisco Bay Area, a group of eight to 10 men believed to be associated with the proto-fascist street gang Proud Boys stormed a Drag Queen Story Hour on Saturday, hurling obscenities and threats at those in attendance. The event’s host, drag queen Panda Dulce, told CBS affiliate KPIX 5 that the intrusion “felt very close to violence.”
“It was extremely loud. It was like a cacophony of voices just yelling over one another, taunting me, calling me a groomer, a pedophile, a tranny, and an ‘it'. (They were) interrogating the parents, ‘Why are you bringing your kids to this?' I didn't feel safe because one of them was wearing a shirt with an AK-47 on it. And it said ‘kill your local pedophile'," Dulce recalled.
Days prior to the story hour, Libs of TikTok had tweeted about the event to the account’s 1.2 million followers.

The account is run by Chaya Raichik, a far-right activist whose account has driven much of the anti-trans, anti-LGBTQ coverage on Fox News and in other right-wing media.
Raichik also tweeted about an event held over the weekend in Idaho called Pride in the Park.

CitationFrom the @libsofTikTok Twitter account
Thirty-one people believed to be members of the fascist gang Patriot Front were arrested on their way to that event and charged with conspiracy to riot. Among those arrested was the group’s leader, Thomas Ryan Rousseau, who had previously led Patriot Front’s earlier iteration, Vanguard America, during the Unite the Right rally in 2017. Patriot Front’s manifesto calls for the creation of a white ethnostate and the group is virulently anti-gay and anti-trans.
In Arlington, Texas, an adults-only drag brunch was disrupted by a group of anti-LBGTQ protesters, one of whom said they were there for the purpose of “protecting kids,” according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. The protest was organized by self-described “Christian Fascist” Kelly Neidert, who was joined by several Proud Boys and far-right media activist Tayler Hansen. Camera footage obtained by journalist Steven Monacelli showed one of the protesters threatening violence against a pro-LBGTQ counter-protester who was filming him.
Neidert also led an anti-LBGTQ event in Dallas on June 4, specifically targeting a family friendly drag queen show as part of Pride Month. She is the executive director of an anti-trans organization called “Protect Texas Kids,” which has posted anti-LBGTQ content on its social media accounts, and has garnered praise from white nationalist Michelle Malkin. Libs of TikTok amplified the June 4 protest as well.
Violence against trans people in the United States is rampant. At least 14 trans, nonbinary, or gender-nonconforming people have been murdered this year alone. The fascist who allegedly carried out the racist massacre in Buffalo, New York, also wrote that gay and trans people were “pedophiles and groomers,” rhetoric adopted wholesale from conservative media.
As the conservative movement escalates its rhetoric aimed at trans people, drag queens, and others who don’t fit neatly into a rigid gender binary, the risks of both spontaneous and organized violence against those communities increases. That is the predictable and intended result, and the mainstream media should recognize it as such. https://www.mediamatters.org/twitter/ta ... wing-media

While I agree that the OP is deluded in seeing a huge threat from something that is not particularly widespread or important, this statistic seems to back that point up. At least 14 people this year alone?
Just for comparison "21,570 reported homicide cases in the U.S. in 2020."

You lost me on this one LL. Specifically, what particular point that the op made are you referring to? Those qoutes are from Media Matters and not mine, Sorry if you missed the attribution, My main point in the first paragraph is more about deflection and whataboutisim that inspired these Klu Klux Klowns to try and shift the general public's focus in the first place. Sorry if I am a bit confused one this but I am properly medicated.Lucky Lucan wrote: ↑Tue Jun 14, 2022 10:29 pmWhile I agree that the OP is deluded in seeing a huge threat from something that is not particularly widespread or important, this statistic seems to back that point up.

So if you’ve got group A of say x amount and another group B of x amount (who have opposite views or dislike group A), what is the number of the second group B that would make any difference and need reporting or an eyebrow raised when they turned up of voiced their opinion?
So 20k LBGTQ and 2000 far left?
Or 200?
Or 2?

Surely we live in a democracy. I would like to think that not all women are into Rupaul's Drag Race, but that it's mainly just the young ones. But young men especially, will follow what the young women have bestowed moral fashion virtue upon (hoping to get some pussy) whatever their real thinking is about men who dress as women. The gays and the lesbians were doing all right as they were, untill they started getting trans piggybacking on their immensely important movements. If you want to put on a dress and say "I'm a lady" that's up to you, but don't try telling me your life is being affected as much as a homeless person or somebody who's been raped and is now being forced to have the child begot from said rape. Or homosexuals who are imprisoned or murdered etc.YaTingPom wrote: ↑Wed Jun 15, 2022 7:31 amSo if you’ve got group A of say x amount and another group B of x amount (who have opposite views or dislike group A), what is the number of the second group B that would make any difference and need reporting or an eyebrow raised when they turned up of voiced their opinion?
