Taxpayer Money Gone Bad

On Thursday, Breitbart reported on an upcoming event at the taxpayer-funded Brooklyn Public Library.

The article reports:

The taxpayer-funded Brooklyn Public Library is set to host a drag queen makeup tutorial specifically intended for teenagers.

The event, called “Teen Time: The Art of Drag – Make-Up Tutorial,” is set to take place on July 16th, and will be hosted at the Brooklyn Heights Library. The description is brief, simply reading “Come join us at Brooklyn Heights in our new Teen Space to experience the art of Drag Make-Up with a tutorial led by Oliver Click!” The post includes tags such as “LGBTQ,” “teen time,” and “teens and young adults.”

I can think of much better ways to use the library to educate or entertain teenagers.

The article continues:

The makeup tutorial will be led by drag performer Oliver Click, a program director for Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH), an organization riddled with sex scandals. DQSH has brought multiple different sex offenders, including child sex predators, to read to children under the banner of tolerance and diversity.

The leftwing organization’s events were also sponsored by a man who was arrested on child pornography charges.

The Brooklyn Public Library has hosted several DQSH events.

If adults choose to go to Drag Queen events, I have no problem. However, we are creating the illusion that the lifestyle associated with the Drag Queen culture is a mainstream lifestyle. It is not. It is an alternative lifestyle and should be treated as such. If adults want to engage in this lifestyle, they are free to do so, but let’s not foist it on our children before they have the reasoning skills to evaluate it.
