The popular Albert Greenfield public school in Philadelphia has sparked outrage after announcing that it plans to host a Drag Queen Story Hour for its first graders.
Parents of the six to seven year olds were furious after they were sent a notification about the forthcoming drag queen story hour with their child’s class.
In response to the parent’s concern, Pennsylvania Republican gubernatorial nominee State Sen. Doug Mastriano vowed, if elected, to appoint a secretary of education who would curb “woke nonsense” and focus instead on “preparing students for the real world.”

A parent from the school said she is finally waking up to the real agenda, “It’s got to be everywhere, on repeat, and they have to start them as soon as possible. That is the strategy…remove parents’ authority and rights.”
The School District of Philadelphia responded to Libs of TikTok’s request for comment by defending the Drag Queen Story Hour for first graders saying they are committed to “inclusivity.” The District also claims that parents have the option to opt out, despite there being no option in the email notification about the event:
