You know what K-12 students don't get enough of?
Queer content. There's just not enough Queer ideology in primary education, so it's imperative to train K-12 teachers in how to Queer their curricula using drag queens and the Transgender Pride Flag, lest students grow up to be normal.
Of course, pushing drag queens to children has been around for a while, but USC felt the need to reinforce the idea that children will grow up to be bigots unless they learn in an environment steeped in Queer propaganda.
n a new study published in the International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education, USC Rossier School of Education professors Theodore R. Burnes and John Pascarella III present a bold framework for integrating drag pedagogy into K–12 teacher, counselor and school leadership preparation programs.
Their article, “Centering Celebratory Drag Pedagogies in Queer- and Genderqueer-Evasive K–12 Educator Preparation Programs,” argues that drag, a performative art form that plays with gender expression, can be a transformative teaching and learning tool that promotes creativity, belonging and critical self-reflection in schools.
“In an era when anti-drag sentiment has intensified, our study demonstrates that drag pedagogy is not about controversy; it’s about celebration,” said Burnes, professor of clinical education and a licensed psychologist who works with LGBTQIA2S+ youth. “It offers educators a joyful and liberating framework for helping students express who they are and understand others with empathy and respect.”
The study utilized autoethnographic methods, which examine social issues by reflecting on and analyzing an individual’s personal experiences within specific contexts, grounded in queer theory. Through this work, Burnes and Pascarella examined their own experiences as educator-trainers to explore why many educator preparation programs remain resistant to gender-inclusive trainings and changes. The authors propose a five-component “celebratory drag framework” to help faculty and future educators:
- Embrace fluidity and “messiness” in the process of social transformation.
- Recognize gender and sexuality as inherently political topics that demand reflection and advocacy.
- Replace the concept of gender binaries by recognizing a gender continuum that celebrates joy and non-categorical experiences.
- Incorporate queer content and process in educator preparation programs—incorporating drag themes into coursework, discussions and assessments.
- Center joy and community wisdom from drag and gender-diverse artists as models for leadership and inclusion.
The study emphasizes that drag pedagogy encourages embodied learning, which incorporates play, performance and creativity to challenge rigid social norms and foster more inclusive school climates. The authors argue that by embracing drag as pedagogy, educator preparation programs can help teachers and school leaders create safer and more affirming spaces for all students.
“Future educators are being asked to lead in environments shaped by fear and misinformation,” said Pascarella, professor of clinical education and expert in teacher education reform. “Drag pedagogy invites them to lead instead through courage, compassion and joy.”
Uh, yeah, right.
First of all, I am pretty sure that the last thing Kindergarteners need is to embrace "fluidity and messiness." If there is one thing that children in primary school excel at it is fluidity and messiness, and the whole point of early education is to encourage exactly the opposite.
Nor, dare I say, do young children really need to learn that gender and sexuality are inherently political. In fact, I am also certain that children don't even understand the concept of the inherently political. They need to learn the alphabet and how not to hit each other when they get angry.

The goal of drag is to expose kids to alternate queer identities.

Obviously, the reason why they are pushing this idiocy is that they are following the maxim that you need to get 'em while they are young. It is a process of grooming—shaping their reality to mold children into the image that you want. "Grooming" doesn't HAVE to be sexual, although when the whole point is to promote a certain view of sexuality and link it to "joy," you have to suspect that the underlying intent is probably linked to the sexual desires of those pushing an agenda.
I'm not saying they are paedos, but I'm not saying they are not.
It is remarkable that so many liberals look at this and insist that it is harmless or even good. They rush to embrace the most harmful movements, despite knowing that children are the most vulnerable among us.
Of course, these are the same people who will take their children to see the pro-socialism version of Animal Farm. Like flies to excrement, they fly to the stink.
