It’s been well publicized that the Houston Public Library in Texas hosted two registered sex offenders for Drag Queen Story Hour. Soon after, a Texas library in Austin did the same. It was later revealed that Austin Public Library, as a matter of policy, does not conduct background checks on its guest performers for children’s programs, according to a January 2019 resolution passed by the city’s LGBTQ Quality of Life Advisory Commission.
Anyone who works with children — whether nurses, teachers, librarians, coaches or bus drivers -should go through a screening process. Prior to interacting with children, they should pass an FBI background check, fingerprint check, drug screening and child abuse training. But apparently there are no rules for adult men who want to read books to children about so-called diversity — provided that man is in a garish drag costume.
A recent poll conducted by Sonia Poulton found that 88% of respondents were opposed to Drag Queen Story Hour. The vast majority of Americans felt the very idea of drag queens reading to children in public libraries falls somewhere on the spectrum between morally repugnant and absurd.
Infestation and Capture of the American Library Association
The American Library Association (ALA) was founded in 1876 to promote public literacy. It has around 57,000 dues-paying members. People who could not afford books or formal schooling could educate themselves for free via their local library. It liberated knowledge in much the same way the Internet does today.
Enter Israel David Fishman (1938– 2006), the founder of the Task Force on Gay Liberation. His father was an ordained rabbi. At the age of 8, Fishman entered Yeshiva Torah Vodaath in Williamsburg, New York. At age 15, he was hospitalized and treated with electric shock therapy. He struggled with mental illness that he attributed to child abuse and incest throughout his life. Regardless, he was still a highly functioning activist and instrumental in establishing a homosexual agenda within libraries and among the hiring of librarians.
In May 1966, Fishman received a master’s degree in library science from Columbia. In 1970, he became the circulation librarian at Upsala College in East Orange, New Jersey. That same year, he attended an ALA meeting in Detroit and conceived the idea of a homosexual “liberation” group within the library profession.
Thereafter, Fishman became the founder of Task Force on Gay Liberation (TFGL) — a name that was later changed to the Gay and Lesbian Task Force Round Table (GLBTRT). His group then instituted the Social Responsibilities Round Table. Ultimately, these movements were formed within the ALA itself.
The Social Responsibilities Round Table currently oversees a number of task forces, including the Feminist Task Force, the International Responsibilities Task Force, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Task Force (MLKTF), the Rainbow Project Task Force, the Task Force on the Environment, and the Over the Rainbow Committee.
In 2007, the Rainbow Project Task Force began within the ALA to promote the introduction of LGBTQ literature for children and young-adults into library collections. The group now maintains an annotated bibliography of LGBTQ titles for youth and teens, as well the yearly “Rainbow List,” featuring the best of LGBTQ young-adult and children’s titles.
In 2010, the GLBTRT announced a new committee: the Over the Rainbow Committee. This committee annually compiles a bibliography of books that show the GLBT community in a favorable light. The bibliographies provide guidance to libraries in the selection of positive GLBT materials. The bibliographies are split by age with the “Rainbow Book List” providing material for children and teens, and the “Over the Rainbow Book List” supplying titles for adults.
According to their website, the Social Responsibilities Round Table (SRRT) has worked to make the ALA more “democratic.” Their primary focus is activism to ensure that libraries and librarians work to recognize and solve social problems in their community.
In 1992, American Libraries magazine published a photo of the GLBTRT (then known as the Gay and Lesbian Task Force) on the cover of its July/August issue, drawing both criticism and praise from the library world. Some commenters called the cover “in poor taste” and accused American Libraries of “glorifying homosexuality,” while others were supportive of the move.
The round table also serves library professionals who are LGBT. One of the core values of the ALA is to to “provide a full spectrum of resources and services to the communities [they] serve.” Accordingly, the GLBTRT provides an online toolkit for library professionals who want to promote or display LGBT materials. The toolkit also explains how to deal with complaints from the public.
The book “Liberating Minds” described the movers and shakers behind LGBT library infiltration. To give you some context and perspective, this small vocal LGBT minority, according to Gallup, makes up only 4.5% of the U.S. population. Furthermore, we are informed by a regular loyal Winter Watch reader, who identifies as gay, that a good segment in that community sees no good coming out of this activist agenda at this stage.
The stereotype of librarians often being homosexual is so strong that the ALA felt compelled not to deny it. Rather, it addressed the reality in the article “Gender Stereotypes Male Librarians Face Today.”
The ALA now has more than a 50-year history of imposing social engineering. Of late, it’s moved far far beyond dealing with the stereotype of the gay librarian. Yes, one of their latest attempts to push the envelope toward “inclusiveness” is Drag Queen Story Hour, which simply involves strange queer men in drag reading “Rainbow List” stories to small children.
The ALA’s public website outlines that organization’s official support clearly:
Many libraries across the country have been hosting or participating in Drag Queen Story Hours. A few have experienced pushback from some members of their community. To support libraries facing challenges we have established this collection of resources. We will continue to add to it and welcome your contributions.
In the ALA “Toolkit & Best Practices” section are articles such as “When a Protestor Interrupts Drag Queen Storytime” and “Defend Pride at Your Library”
The Individuals Behind Drag Queen Story Hour
The inspiration behind Drag Queen Storytime (aka Drag Queen Story Hour) is a lesbian (good link) from Los Angeles, one Michelle Tea (Tomasik), and RADAR Productions of San Francisco. RADAR productions is a Bay Area production company whose mission statement reads: “RADAR is a Bay Area queer literary arts organization creating and supporting a community of queer artists through commissioning, developing and presenting ground-breaking literary work.” Looks like big business.
The money bags behind RADAR and Drag Queen Story Hour are the California Arts Council, the San Francisco Public Libraries, the Horizons Foundation, the Zellerbach Foundation and, notably, the Walter and Elise Haas Foundation.
The Haas Foundation is a Bay Area “philanthropic” organization founded by Walter Haas, the son of Jewish-Bavarian immigrants. Walter married Elise Stern, the daughter and niece of the founders of Levi Strauss Jeans. Haas is best known for being the president of Levi Strauss & Co. from 1928-1955.
The Haas Foundation, according to its website, focuses its energy and capital on five areas: the arts, economic security, education, Jewish life, and Internet safety. The site prominently features articles like “How the World Should Be: Jews, Social Justice and GLIDE” by Rabbi Michael Lezak. You tell us, rabbi.
The Zellerbach Family Foundation is the other Bay Area “philanthropic” organization that funds RADAR Productions and the Drag Queen Story Hour project. The Zellerbachs are a wealthy family of Jewish immigrants known for owning a huge paper mill and paper pulp conglomerate, as well as enormous timber and land holdings in the Pacific Northwest. The Zellerbach Corporation profited greatly during WWII, when European paper companies were unable to export products to the United States.
Besides funding and backing LGBT activism and the Race Industry, a large portion of the Zellerbach Family Foundation’s operating budget is devoted to encouraging mass immigration and refugee resettlement into the United States.
Despite the deep-pockets of primary backers, Drag Queen Story Hour is still looking for donations on Facebook and touting its presence in 50 cities worldwide.
God help us, and protect our children from these Demons. Literal goblins and demons trying to subvert our world. This whole diversity and inclusion thing taking over corporate America is really dangerous. At Citibank, if you are a member of the Citibank Diversity and Inclusion counsel and you are white, you have to say before you speak, ” Hi , I am ……., and due to my white privilege, my comments shouldn’t have any weight. ”
It’s another side to the coin, but still upside-down world.
What is the End Game?
The end game is the destruction of mankind. Nothing made sense until I started reading the Bible in 2007. When you embrace a Biblical worldview and accept the spiritual component of our existence, you understand that Satan (Lucifer) is obsessed with destroying God’s creation. Jesus said that if He did not come back to Earth to judge the unrighteous, ALL FLESH would be destroyed. Don’t take my word for it, get a Bible, start in the New Testament, in the Gospel of John (and decide who you think Jesus of Nazareth is). Then read Genesis, next read Revelation, then pray for understanding and direction. The consequences are eternal, the choice is yours. If you can objectively examine the (source of) current cultural rot and moral decay, you will discover a very visceral anti-God agenda. Anti Biblical-God, an anti-Christian undercurrent. Then ask yourself, “Who benefits from a world with God and Christians ?”
Thanks Otto, very much appreciate the detailed comments. It’s just so hard to wrap my pea-sized brain around how much evil is out there and how it starts, because all these people were innocent children at some point, and then open themselves up for taking in darkness. Alot of this stuff is pushed on kids at a very young age, and
leave them defenseless. A battle for souls it seems
At the same time we are shown the destructive pathway in the Bible, we are also given the collective’s constructive spiritually grounded pathway: http://undergod.love/
The Frankfort School strikes again.
The Frankfort school they were made up of Presbyterians, ,,,,right???
Tikkun olam
Autodidact, destruction of humanity is the endgame that they want you to believe in. They’d be so lucky to achieve their wet dreams inscribed on the Georgia guidestones or in the protocols… Current events mirroring biblical passages can be manipulated- voice to skull technology is reality. That said, there are still many good people upon this earth who shouldn’t (and won’t) be abandoned. The Grace of the Almighty Father Who sent Jesus to the world as Savior, manifests as needed, ad infinitum. That means that we can’t die fast enough for the bad guys, who’ve already actually lost, but don’t know it yet because their leader is such a lying, prideful wretch who continues to lead them all into the pit of destruction. The individual details of the endgame you speak of only One knows, but I know the outcome: THE ALMIGHTY FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE THY NAME, PREVAILS. And that is good enough for me.
MOst will never know that they are being played–but more are learning. They are agents of exploiters–who know only theft–but they have to take out the family structure–the discipline and the focus–Stay together!: Rage, rage against the dying of the light–do not go gentlle into the night…
Found an obit for her grandfather who was buried in a Catholic ceremony. Tomasik is a Polish name including among Jews. She may be a mix. To be conservative we revised the post.
They want our rage. They want us all paranoid and schizophrenic about what’s happening to the children. Read between the lines here. They highly publicize tiny incidents in big cities, isolated practices become international news in order to get everyone riled up, and their solution is right there in black and white—get everyone who works with kids ‘papered up’ to the hilt by the FEDS. PAPERS PLEASE! Do you know how many adults work with children? I had to quit my garden club b/c they pulled this shit! A group of 50+ year old ladies and we were required to get background checks. First of all, if someone is convicted of a sexual offense in the courts, that is public record. Second of all, do you really think a serious child molester is going to advertise it with such garish and ridiculous costumes in public? And molest your child in broad daylight in front of an audience? Come on folks, use a bit of logic here, don’t be led by the heart strings!
This is extreme grooming to normalize the way for more subtle versions of it.
No doubt. And my intention was not to criticize the press which is repulsed by it, as here on WW. It must become now obvious how our institutions have been captured, and those parents who are allowing their children to be exposed to this brand of entertainment infiltration must look in the mirror FIRST. Cross-dressing has always been cornerstone to acting, it is a marker of talent since the beginning of the profession and it exists in every culture. We are not going to do away with it, nor do I think we should even try. To keep it locked in its corner is what needs to happen, and that does not mean to tag every person who works with kids as a potential pedo who needs to be papered by the Feds.
Have you never seen footage of Biden sniffing countless children on stage in front of everyone?
There are two excellent movies which have virtually been scrubbed from distribution on any platform. One is Al Pacino’s “Cruising”. The other, Diane Keaton’s “Looking for Mr Goodbar”. Both portray gay lifestyle poorly and were attacked immediately upon release by gay advocates. In Cruising, the highly sexualized gay lifestyle it is the main theme of the movie. In Goodbar, it’s the ending, where Keaton is killed by a gay man attempting to sexually distance himself from his gay past. I find it interesting that we can be subjected to hours of films which puts whites in a bad light as racists or slave owners, but are forbidden from seeing anything which shines a poor light on the LGBT community.
Not at all surprised. Here’s a documentary I’ve heard is good, on my asap watch list, though since it is foreign they won’t have to scrub it, it will hit very few radars.
Oops, sorry, forgot the link! https://youtu.be/HPNSWjjAzDk
It has been years since I thought about this film (Keaton was in her heyday back then) — but I remember seeing it when it first came out; at the time I found it disturbing — it was one of the few films where, after seeing it, I had absolutely no desire to read the novel that inspired it.

Judging by earlier comments, around the same time this originally appeared here National Justice also published a similar exposé:
The Money and Masterminds Behind Drag Queen Story Hour
Ultimately parents who allow their children to participate in garbage like this cannot escape blame.
