The Tompkins County Public Library in Ithaca, New York invited children to “learn the art of drag from a local drag queen”.
“A public library in upstate New York hosted a series of classes for young teenagers that claimed it would teach them ‘the art of drag from a local drag queen’.
The Tompkins County Public Library in Ithaca, New York apparently hosted four of the events in June. Kids aged 11 to 17 were invited to attend the events, as were 18-year-olds.
‘Participants will learn about costuming, makeup, lip-synching, stage presence, and more’, the library details on its ‘DRAG TEEN’ event page. ‘Students will be best served by attending all classes in the series, as each week will address a different aspect of performing drag’.
The event was a combined series, so students who signed up for one of the classes were automatically signed up for all of them. Tompkins Library also explains in the event's description that everyone who completed the series of four classes had the opportunity to ‘perform at a youth drag show’ during the Downtown Ithaca Pride Festival.
Searching the Downtown Ithaca Pride Festival's website reveals a two-hour event set on July 2 titled ‘Youth Drag/Fashion Show’.
Drag queens in New York libraries are apparently nothing new, having been already championed by the New York Public Library's promotion of ‘Drag Queen Story Hour’. On NYPL's website, following the link ‘Learn more about Drag Queen Story Hour’ leads to Drag Story Hour NYC's website.
‘Drag Story Hour NYC (formerly Drag Queen Story Hour NYC) produces storytelling and creative arts programs for children and teens, presented by local drag artists, in libraries, schools, and other community spaces in all five boroughs of New York City, and virtually’, Drag Story Hour NYC states on its website. ‘Through fun and fabulous educational experiences, our programs celebrate gender diversity and all forms of difference to build empathy and give kids the confidence to express themselves however they feel comfortable’”. -Zachary Rodgers, The National Desk
For me personally, stories such as this tend to put all the bizarre tales from Roman history about their embittered, nihilistic Emperors like Nero into perspective.
To envision this fraudulent, gay, barren, and demoralized society, once hailed as “The West”, suffer the same fate as Carthage at the hands of the Romans, one can’t help but experience a somewhat cathartic release.
The truth is, there is nothing “Western” about our culture today. The West had three components that made it what it was: Christianity, the European nations, and the Greco-Roman philosophical legacy. All three of these intrinsic characteristics have been relinquished and severely adulterated.
When we give these subverters an inch, they take a mile. It is as Churchill said of the Hun, he is either at your feet or at your throat. We can’t leave them alone because they won’t leave us alone. So, root them out of your lives, stop enabling them, and stop funding their assault on your beliefs, your family, and your faith.
Amidst the throws of the present-day, post-modern culture war comes a cascading “backlash effect” which presumably emanates from the natural human instinct to revolt against propaganda and social totalitarianism.
The counterproductive nature of the heavy-handed agitprop coming from the LGBT camp demonstrates that even the most seemingly moderate, left-leaning gay “allies” are growing increasingly tentative toward the idea of defending fanatical homosexual men dressed as women being provided access to adolescents, especially in a supposed didactic environment.
Since nowadays things that once seemed straightforward are suddenly riven with perils and connotations, the time now for fence-sitting is perceivably untenable. This shameless scheme to brainwash the most innocent among us must be condemned entirely without equivocation.
