Small-Town Librarians In Georgia Slip Drag Book Into Program For 6-Year-OldsThey also removed rainbow branding from a program for teens to hide its LGBT content from parents.BY: PATRICIA DAUGHERTY

My small county is next door to a large university in Georgia, so I usually am not surprised by its periodic leftist infiltration. Most residents of this county, however, still view it as politically and socially conservative.
Because of this, many of them are experiencing a great deal of cognitive dissonance, because the county library scheduled a RuPaul biography as a story time in the children’s summer reading program.
RuPaul’s television show, “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” entailed grown men dressing up in women’s clothes and makeup mocking women with flamboyant stereotypes (where were the feminists?). It always had a sexual flair, and it was strictly adult entertainment.
Even drag queens have publicly said drag is not for children. In a 2020 YouTube video, drag queen Kitty Demure commented, “Would you want a stripper or a porn star to influence your child? … A drag queen performs in a nightclub for adults. There is a lot of filth that goes on. … I don’t think this is an avenue you would want your child to explore.”
Yet our county library presents RuPaul as a role model for young children. Who in the world thought this would be a good idea in semi-rural Georgia (or anywhere else)? Surely the “it’s not age-appropriate” argument would be a slam dunk every time.
We are not talking about what adults do in their private lives, after all. We are talking about children. Common sense should convince anyone that drag is not for young minds.
