Yesterday we told you about Michigan’s Attorney General calling for drag queens in every school and now the New York City Mayor has jumped on the bandwagon.
Last night Mayor Eric Adams tweeted that having drag queens in schools advances “a love of diversity” and that it promotes ‘literacy’:
Drag storytellers, and the libraries and schools that support them, are advancing a love of diversity, personal expression, and literacy that is core to what our city embraces.

At a time when our LGBTQ+ communities are under increased attack across this country, we must use our education system to educate. The goal is not only for our children to be academically smart, but also emotionally intelligent.

Absolute garbage. In what universe does a half-naked man dressed like a woman, sexually dancing in front of young children, promote diversity and literacy?
Seriously, if this is the new standard then why not bring in porn stars to schools for career day?
Matt Walsh responded, telling Democrats like Adams to run with this as hard as he can because it will be good for the midterms:
Yes, Democrats, this is the hill you should die on. Bring this all the way to the midterms. Great political strategy. https://t.co/yC1Nv2rkib

"Drag queens for the children" is one hell of a 2022 slogan https://t.co/3aWcAR01oO

Good to see Democrats trimming their sails to focus on issues that matter to midterm voters. https://t.co/tYWyCrE82i
