A glowing article from Philadelphia Magazine reveals exactly what happens at Drag Storytime. Maria teaches children to chant “YAAASSS QUEEEEN” with their fingers in the air. The reporter calls this the new “Baby Shark,” urging parents to have their toddlers use drag slang in everyday life, even at the grocery store. The highlight of the event is the catwalk. Children, some as young as THREE, walk an illuminated runway while Maria TopCatt describes their outfits and “what makes them special.” One girl strutted in a sparkly dress and Crocs, and a pair of siblings were praised by everyone in the room for using “they/them” pronouns. At the event, Maria TopCatt stripped down to a sparkly outfit, sat down in fishnets, and read “I Like Myself” as children gathered at his feet.
This is NOT a literacy program. It is drag culture: costumes, runway modeling, adult vernacular, and exaggerated stereotypes, delivered directly to small children.

Even without a criminal record, this performer's public behavior raises red flags. He:
• performs burlesque routines for kids, including religious mockery
• jokes about drug use
• parodies womanhood as a sexualized costume
• inserts children into inappropriate drag performance dynamics
