	I hope this doesn't come as a shock to you, but drag queens scare people.
	They're scary.
	And that's by design.
	Let me explain.
	Let us speak plainly.
	I'm sure you've heard of the term, but if not, coolrophobia.
	This is the fear of clowns.
	It is not, as some academics would have it.
	It is not, it is not, as some might suggest, it is not some exotic.
	exotic psychological quirk it is an instinct a primal recoil at the grotesque the distorted the unnatural Children recognize what many adults, perhaps dulled by years of ideology, refuse to see.
	Clowns are frightening because they embody the uncanny.
	They look human, but not quite.
	They parody humanity with paint and wigs and exaggerated gestures, and it is precisely in that uncanny valley, that gap between familiar and alien that fear lives.
	Now, extend that same principle to drag queens being paraded in front of innocent children.
	What are they if not modern clowns?
	Kind of this weird John Waters divine, grotesque dystopian drag horror show Divine Meets Boris Karloff or something.
	Think about it, painted faces, grotesque exaggerations of femininity, very sometimes oftentimes, pardon my French, ugly, ugly, horrible people, hypersexualized costumes, bizarre, theatrical movements, grunts and twerkings and all frustrated.
	are all thrust before children who lack the maturity to process even the simplest of abstractions.
	A six year old doesn't know his favorite color, doesn't know what he wants to be when he grows up, doesn't understand fractions, but he's supposed to somehow somehow comprehend gender theory and pronoun declarations and alternative lifestyles.
	No.
	This is not education, this is not tolerance, this is trauma, this is abuse, plain and simple.
	You know what I know.
	I mean everybody knows it.
	Dry queens do not belong in classrooms, in libraries, in parades marketed to children.
	They belong to nightlife, to cabarets, to burlesque, to adult entertainment, fine, not the nursery, and not the nursery school, and not kindergarten, and not taught by a bunch of pink haired freaks with studs insisting that they be called they or whatever sound they make this week to impart upon you the nonsense that there's something rational behind this notion of I
	don't know what you want to call it.
	Whatever this is.
	And the deliberate conflation of adult theater, adult sexual theater, with childhood instruction is not an accident.
	It's a campaign.
	It's the deliberate weaponization of performance art as indoctrination.
	And the point is not to educate.
	The point is to destabilize.
	to confuse, to frighten, to overwhelm a child's natural sense of order.
	This isn't by accident.
	I mean, we all know this.
	I mean, think again about the uncanny valley.
	Psychologists describe it as the discomfort we feel when something almost looks human, but not quite.
	A robot with two real eyes, a doll that seems alive, a clown with a frozen painted smile.
	Children recoil because they sense danger and for good reasons.
	And they are right to recoil.
	Instinct is the oldest wisdom.
	Yet the ideologues of our age insist that when children are unsettled by dry performance, it's bigotry.
	Bigotry that somehow can be conditioned or explained away or taught away wrong.
	It is biology, it is sanity, it is the survival instinct that every decent parent should honor and not suppress.
	And let's be direct, shall we?
	This is child abuse.
	It is child abuse cloaked in sequins and big hair and defended with slogans.
	What is even more abusive than deliberately confronting children with imagery they cannot comprehend, with sexuality they cannot process?
	with distortions of identity they can't decode.
	What is more abusive than using state-funded schools and tax libraries to host these spectacles, these performance.
	What is it?
	What's worse than that?
	That would in any sane society be restricted to late night adult only venues?
	What is happening here?
	How did this ever come about?
	How is it even tolerated?
	And we sit back and we allow it.
	Nobody screams that it be shut down immediately because they're afraid, because they don't want to in any way violate the progressive message.
	You know, we prosecute those who expose children to pornography.
	We prosecute those who involve children in sexualized performances.
	So why should this be treated differently?
	Why?
	Why?
	Because it's wrapped in the veneer and the language of inclusion, because it's defended by the radical left as progress or something.
	The law shouldn't bend to ideology.
	The law should protect children.
	So what are we going to say?
	You know, Pat Buchanan once wrote of a cultural war for the soul of America.
	And William F. Buckley often reminded us that to defend civilization, one must stand athwart history.
	yelling stop.
	Well, history has not merely advanced.
	It has lurched, lurched into a decadence, into a theater of absurdities where men dressed as caricatures of women are foisted on children in taxpayer funded classrooms and libraries.
	Civilization must not merely say stop, it must say enough, enough forever.
	Those who defend this, those who defend drag queens, story hours, claim it's about diversity, it's about acceptance, it's about love.
	Do not be fooled.
	This is not about love.
	You know it and I know it.
	It's about shock.
	This is not about acceptance.
	It's about disorientation, throwing them off, destabilization.
	And this is not about diversity.
	It's about subversion.
	If you wanted children to learn about kindness, if that was your goal, you teach them the golden rule.
	If you wanted them to learn about diversity, you would teach them to, I don't know, maybe take them to a church, a synagogue, a mosque, or introduce them to other cultures in respectful, age appropriate ways.
	That's the way you do it.
	You wouldn't shove them into the uncanny valley of sexualized parody, but that's what we're doing.
	And we're reporting on it.
	Cable news shows, oh, they're stepping up.
	They're just reporting on it.
	Anybody stopping this?
	No, but we're reporting on it.
	Children do not need drag queens.
	Children need fathers.
	Children need mothers.
	They need boundaries.
	They need stability.
	They need order.
	They need discipline.
	They need love.
	And they do not need indoctrination into lifestyles they can't begin to understand.
	To do so is to in effect, really, if you think about it, to mutilate innocence.
	So let's stop pretending, all right?
	A man in fishnets reading to children in a public library is not literature, it's not education, it is theater, sexual theater, and it's inappropriate.
	And when society applauds it, society is complicit.
	It's almost an accomplice in grooming.
	Yes, you heard me, grooming.
	That word must be spoken because grooming is not only the act of preparing a child for sexual abuse, it's the act of desensitizing a child to sexual content, breaking down natural barriers of modesty and instinct.
	You see, drag queen events for children do precisely this.
	They numb children to the unnatural.
	They make them unaware.
	It doesn't seem shocking anymore.
	So it makes them more vulnerable and more likely to be victimized.
	Coolrophobia, again, the fear of clowns, is not irrational.
	It's the body warning the soul.
	When children weep at clowns, when they tremble at masks, when they, I think, instinctively shy away from drag performers, they're responding as nature intended.
	They're saying, This is not right, this is not safe, there's something wrong here.
	And the monstrous, incalculable sin of our age is that adults, parents and teachers and bureaucrats are silencing that instinct.
	They're telling children, you must smile, you must clap, you must accept this.
	This is child abuse.
	This is tyranny.
	This is the destruction of innocence.
	Now, it also must, listen carefully, it must be prosecuted, not merely condemned in speeches, not merely debated in op-eds, but prosecuted.
	The state has an absolute obligation to protect minors from sexual exploitation, to protect children, innocent children, our children, from from trauma to protect them from psychological manipulation that masquerades as entertainment and inclusion.
	When drag queens are presented to children in schools, in libraries, in parades, the line has been crossed, and the law must intervene.
	It's that simple.
	Look, enough, enough.
	Basta, as you say in Italian.
	Enough with the cowardice of politicians who hide behind the language of tolerance, that word again.
	Enough with school boards who capitulate and surrender to activist mobs.
	Enough with pastors who remain silent, enough with parents who trade their children's innocence for social approval.
	This is not compassion.
	This is betrayal.
	This is betrayal, plain and simple.
	Society cannot survive if it does not protect its young.
	A civilization, a group, a community that cannot distinguish between nurturing and abusing, between educating and indoctrinating.
	between, as I like to say, orange juice and orange drink, between reality and parody, is a civilization on the edge of collapse.
	The radicals know this and they press their advantage.
	They believe you will do nothing.
	They know you will do nothing.
	They believe you will comply.
	You will comply and you will consent and you will roll over as you always do.
	But we must prove them wrong.
	We must declare without hesitation that the era of abusing children under the banner or the aegis of progress is over.
	We must draw the line, my friends, and enforce it.
	With the full weight of the law, no more, no more drag shows for children, no more uncanny valley indoctrination, no more no more psychological experiments on those too young, too innocent, too precious to protest.
	Protect the children, protect the families, and protect our future, and prosecute the abusers.
	And remember this, when the clowns come smiling and painted and parading under banners of love, it's not comedy.
	It's not kindness.
	It's the mask of exploitation.
	And it is our solemn duty to rip that mask off.
	Do you hear what I'm saying?
	To stop this.
	We have to do everything in our power to stop this.
	Now I don't know why this is so difficult for people.
	Maybe it's just maybe they don't want to give up their their their progressive you know, IDs or their membership cards.
	I don't know.
	But this has got to stop now.
	Because I keep saying this.
	You know it and I know it and we know it.
	So if we all know it, why isn't somebody doing something about it?
