The College Fix: Academics: Allowing kids to opt out of drag storytime is a ‘dangerous setback’ for gay rights


The College Fix: Academics: Allowing kids to opt out of drag storytime is a ‘dangerous setback’ for gay rights

A pair of academics affiliated with York University believe that allowing parents to opt out their children from drag storytime events is a “dangerous setback for 2SLGBTQ+ human rights education.”

Writing in the Toronto Star, Beyhan Farhadi, a fellow at York’s Institute for Research on Digital Literacies, and “community educator”/York M.Ed student Joy Henderson say the Toronto School Board’s decision to allow opt-outs from the “family-friendly” activity “sends a message that [queer] rights are debatable.”

Farhadi (pictured) and Henderson, both “queer parents,” point out the Toronto board previously had declared — in opposition to an allegedly “discriminatory” parental rights declaration — that “no student can be exempted from Human Rights education.”

The district didn’t even permit religious exemptions. They accuse the board of now “prioritiz[ing] the comfort of right-wing ideologues committed to maintaining gender norms and binaries.”

So this is an admission that gay and pedophelia are the same?

They are hoping we won't notice I'm sure, but... yes. Of course they will claim that drag queens reading to kindergartners "has nothing to do with" pedophilia.

But not as loudly as before, perhaps. After all, one mustn't disrespect the MAPs.

I do not believe gay couples should be allowed to adopt children.

O.K. Just shoot me.
