Concerned families told the Bristol Post that Parson Street Primary School was going a "step too far" in inviting Drag Queen Story Time (DQST) to read books promoting alternative lifestyles to their children.
"Lots of parents at the school are not happy about it but the headmaster says there's no negotiation. He said if we don't like it we should take our kids out of school on an unauthorised absence," a mother who wished to remain anonymous told the newspaper.
"There are books dotted around the school about sexuality, they learn a lot about LGBTQ+ in school and that's fine.
Comment: Children between ages 4 and 11 do not need to be exposed to this kind of information which is complicated to understand even for adults. And no, this is not an "art form" as Mr Canham says, and it does not promote "tolerance". Quite the contrary! It is propaganda from a minority imposed on the majority, and because the majority resents propaganda being shoved on their children's faces, it will result in exactly the opposite of tolerance. Well done postmodern social justice advocates!
