NY Dems running for House want fed funding for ‘Drag Story Hour’ as city, state spend $700K

While I'm not terribly concerned about the "whether it is or isn't anti-Judeo/Christian" aspect... One could say the same about evolution being taught in science classes, and that's something I support...

I don't think fed $$$ should be used to further a political agenda of one particular party/faction in the eyes of young, very impressionable kids.

Primarily, because young people are so impressionable, it would allow political parties to carve out future voters for themselves which is "rigging the game" in a way that I don't see as ethical. How does that quote from Ignatius go? "give me the child until they're 7, and I'll show you the adult" (highlighting the impactful nature of indoctrinating kids with ideas when they're in the formative years)

I oppose this for the same reason I oppose republican state legislatures trying to mandate the biblical 10 commandments be hung up in every classroom and injecting Christian-specific concepts into curriculums. Granted, they haven't been as bad about that in recent years as progressives have in the states they control.

Public schools are supposed to serve a very specific function, and that function isn't "get some malleable pieces of clay in here so I can shape them into a future political ally"

There's lots of places that aren't Judeo/Christian that wouldn't go this route.
