The school board made the right decision here, but these activist types certainly seem to think that students should be forced to attend in-school drag queen story times, and are fighting for the opt-out policy to be reversed.
Should students be allowed to opt out of event if the presenter was say a specific race?

"I don't approve of Black culture because it is all gangs and drugs. My Kid shouldn't have to listen to a storytime if the presenter is Black"

I would think we would all agree that this statement is pretty bigoted.

And yet we will allow them to opt out because we don't like the flamboyant way the readers are dressing? How is that any less bigoted?
