The performers are chosen by the library and usually have a training session to keep things child-appropriate before the actual story time happens.

i don’t think i should have to tell you that doesn’t replace the need for a background check lol

so if someone who is a registered sex offender took a training course it’s all good? no that isn’t how it works

I dunno. Do they do background checks on clowns? Priests?

you don’t think the mall santa is background checked?

so if one group of adults somewhere who is working with kids isn’t none should? that’s awful logic

Maybe? I’m not saying they shouldn’t. But the poster was making the point to imply that drag queens prey on children and are sexual deviants, which is bigotry full stop and not true.

But these people are READING to kids. Not sure what people think happen at these story hours but it just shows their own preoccupation with sex.

you’re advocating for these drag queens to not have to be subjected to a basic background check to volunteer?
