Seen a few cases like this where kids have been arrested for driving/leaving skidmarks over pride crosswalks.
More interesting part to me is the Lime scooter "no-drive zone" they put in to stop anyone from riding a scooter there - its my biggest concern about self-driving cars - who's making the decisions? If you're headed to a collision with an old woman in the street and the options are to mow her over or turn into a light pole, what does the car do?

The answer is to have the A.I. ask a Philosophy 101 professor.

Ain’t no full professor teaching philosophy 101

Incognito mode. Not my burden to prove.

Fair. It's usually grad students at the 101 level. But, it's not like there are a lot of jobs out there for someone with a Ph.D. in Philosophy so sometimes it happens. (I learned this lesson as a first year grad student in Philosophy with way too much debt built up for a future Philosophy Professor's salary.)

All kinds of examples in elementary school libraries in this video.
The commentary by the two youtube content creators will probably make you upset, but there you go.
How is the goalpost going to be moved this time? They weren't fully naked when twerking?

"All kinds of examples in elementary school libraries in this video"?
At best there is one bit of video that may be an elementary school library and there is no dancing or twerking in that video. The rest are clearly private events at places like restaurants or book stores. Some don't even show kids in the videos. So no need to move the goal posts when you haven't come close to the goal posts.
Gas lighting as usual from the usual gaslighting sources.

OR maybe you just want all of those to be elementary school libraries. Since you have managed to find maybe one valid complaint,you would like to paint an entire community as the problem,instead of the problem person.
I dont advocate twerking drag queens in kindergarten classes. I also dont advocate ANYONE twerking in any classroom and for 20+ pages you and others have tried to convince me that this is a RAMPANT problem other than an occasional isolated incedent. Your complaing about moving goalposts. My request has been rock solid, A video in a kindergarten CLASSROOM and ,much like Ray Finkle,you missed. again.

It's not for the benefit of the kids. It's really for the benefit of the parents and the drag queens. One of the pictures posted above, you have drag queens showing (and I assume they read it) a book about a kid who's a "drag princess" (I don't know what other term to use). I am sure the parents are really proud of themselves.
Personally, instead of spending an hour to take my kids anywhere to have anyone read to them, I'd rather spend the hour and read to them myself. As for "diversity exposure", my kids are exposed to diversity every day.

Are all kids your kids?

Is there a point to the question? Or is it just a philosophical exercise?

I think it’s to lead to a larger discussion about parents rights.Is there a point to the question? Or is it just a philosophical exercise?
Personally it is parents rights. I wouldn’t associate my children with a drag show or a flat pride parade at a young age. My wife has a friend that switched teams when she got divorced. She went full diesel dike (is that a bad phrase? I feel like it could be.). To be fair she also got a job driving a semi truck so…. Anyway she shared some pics with us on our last camping trip and I don’t believe that’s appropriate for children. Personal choice. How people raise their kids is none of my business, for the most part.

Love it. You posted images, they got reverse searched, showing that none of them were in an elementary school, so you think, "Ha, I'll post a video! They won't be able to identify the origins of videos!".
You wish.
0:00 Drag brunch in a restaurant. Not a kindergarten classroom.
0:09 Story telling at Barnstable and Bideford Libraries, in Devon, UK. Not a kindergarten classroom. We don't even call it kindergarten over here.
2:14 King County Library in Washington State. Not a kindergarten classroom.
2:18 Park Slope branch of Brooklyn Public Library again. It still isn't a kindergarten classroom.
2:30 El Museo del Bario in Harlem, but to be fair, it was part of an NYC school talent show, with the PTA president being the performer in question. The NYC Department of Education stated it was inappropriate and the school administration spoke with the parent (https://abc7ny.com/drag-nyc-schools-education-department-of/2062608/). Still not a kindergarten classroom, and still not something routinely happening, obviously.
There are literally zero examples of elementary school libraries in that video. Give that up already.
But the real question is why did you think there were? Why do a whole bunch of people think that, when it's clearly not actually a thing? And it's the same answer it always is; people get inflamed about it through inflammatory rhetoric, not the reality. But people voluntarily taking their own children to a reading event at a public library isn't really something you think you'd be that mad about, even if a person in drag is doing the reading, so there's a cognitive dissonance between the outrage people feel over it and the actual reality.
So to resolve that dissonance, people tend to go one of two ways; they decide they actually are mad about people taking their own kids to events, or, they assume the reality must match the outrage they feel.
That is, they think it must be happening in elementary school libraries, because otherwise they wouldn't be so mad about it. Then they insist publicly it is happening, and get frustrated when they're unable to show it, because it isn't.
The other way to resolve it is to recognise the reality and stop being so mad about it. But some people have trouble with that too, because their self-image is of someone who couldn't fall for inflammatory rhetoric and outright lies in the first place.
And meanwhile, the continuing desire of some to create that outrage and stoke hatred with inflammatory rhetoric and lies in the first place is why we still need Pride month.

I know everyone here isn't from Louisiana but the amount of hand wringing about parades on a New Orleans Saints forum is ironic. Pride parade organizers probably come to Mardi Gras to study debauchery. I know the point you're making, Widge, but it's hilarious. I've seen Mardi Gras beads with every anatomically feasible body part that can be used for sexual gratification proudly displayed around some kids' neck over the years. We aren't the ones to throw stones.
In June, it's don't shove your sexuality down my throat. During Mardi Gras...
This could be anyone here, LOL.
