(News Punch) The popular Albert Greenfield public school in Philadelphia has sparked outrage after announcing that it plans to host a Drag Queen Story Hour for its first graders.
Parents of the six to seven year olds were furious after they were sent a notification about the forthcoming drag queen story hour with their child’s class.
In response to the parent’s concern, Pennsylvania Republican gubernatorial nominee State Sen. Doug Mastriano vowed, if elected, to appoint a secretary of education who would curb “woke nonsense” and focus instead on “preparing students for the real world.”
“Our schools need to get back to the basics of education, not indoctrination. It’s absurd for anyone to think that a sexually-charged story-hour with drag queens is appropriate for young children,” Mastriano told Fox News
Libs of TikTok reports: Alarmed parents reached out to Libs of TikTok after receiving an email Saturday, October 22 stating, “Your child’s classroom will be participating in the Drag Queen Story Hour!” Of course, there was no opt-out option mentioned, no discussion with parents, and no approval process. “We look forward to an energetic, diverse, and inclusive story hour that celebrates every type of family,” the email read.
