Florida is doing the responsible thing: A state licensing board is investigating a facility that hosted a Drag Queen show that reportedly exposed children to a highly sexualized program, exhibiting simulated sex acts.

“Florida is in the forefront of protecting children from a toxic culture,” said Ruth Institute President Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, Ph.D. “The state’s licensing board is investigating facilities that hosted a ‘Drag Queen Christmas’ with children in the audience.”
The show, which toured the country, was highly sexualized and included simulated sex acts and performers exposing body parts, real and prosthetic.
Morse noted: “In a sketch called ‘Screwdolph the Red-Nippled Reindeer,’ a male performer with artificial breasts asked a child in the audience, ‘Are you reaching for my [breasts]? Are you hungry?’”
A spokesman for Governor Ron DeSantis explained: “Exposing children to sexually explicit activity is a crime in Florida, and such action violates the Department’s licensing standards for operating a business and holding a liquor license.”
Morse responded: “But that’s the whole point of events like Drag Queen Story Hour — held in libraries across the country with the blessing of the American Library Association — to corrupt innocent children.”
“The Sexual Revolution relentlessly tries to replace the values children learn from their parents with a radical sexual ideology.”
“Like Marxists, these activists understand the importance of early indoctrination. Lenin is reported to have said: ‘Give me four years to teach the children, and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.’ The gender activists use schools, libraries, TV, and the internet to flood the culture with their perverse views. Now, they have stooped to corrupting the words of popular Christmas songs.”
The Ruth Institute has opposed Drag Queen Story Hour, and other efforts to sexualize children, like shared bathrooms, which have led to assaults.
“Governor DeSantis is to be congratulated for taking threats to children seriously,” Morse said. “Other elected officials should follow his lead.”
