Hiding behind the banner of ‘inclusiveness’, young impressionable children are being exposed to sexual confusion and perversion before they can even read or grasp any understanding of human sexuality. St. Paul Public Libraries issued a press release announcing a summertime 3-part “Drag Queen Story Hour” for toddlers and youngsters. The event is advertised as “glitz, glamor and stories” with each event featuring “two performers who will read stories, sing songs, and strut their stuff for an over-the-top story hour”. Read Drag Queen Story Hours and take action!

• Contact St. Paul Public Libraries and tell them Drag Queen advocacy is abusive to children and an egregious misuse of public funds. Director: Catherine Penkert, 651-266-7073, catherine.penkert@ci.stpaul.mn.us
• Look up your own library online. Will they be hosting similar story hours? Contact them.
• Inform your legislative candidates. Find out if they can tell you why publicly funded libraries are no longer a safe place for children!

The U.S. Department of Education issued a “guidance” to schools [referred to as a “Dear Colleague Letter," January 2014] that threatened schools with loss of federal funding if students of color are disciplined more frequently than white students. Many teachers are not being informed that the school district has an obligation to notify them of a student's history of violence and that they have a right to remove a student from the classroom for violent behavior.
