Reply to comment by sassbayc in 'Drag Story Hour' protest draws passionate crowds outside Queens library by seejordan3

I don't think you're going to find that your definition of indoctrination matches up with the majority of people's definition. Anyway, I think we've gotten as far as we'll get in this conversation and I'd like to go enjoy the nice weather. Take care!

...you literally suggested that the drag queens reading were only a thing because it's light and fun when the non-profit's own website directly says their mission is to "teach" kids to question gender norms.

Exposing children to the fact that there are more than two genders and teaching them that those people exist and should be treated with respect is not indoctrination.

You're being silly. I compared it to Bill Nye teaching kids about science in one of my first posts. But I really am out of time to debate this for the day, so I hope you find somebody else to butt heads with. :)

Bill Nye only wants to teach kids about science. They don't have some ulterior motive of indoctrinating kids that's unrelated to whatever story they might be reading.
