A New Jersey college cancelled a “drag queen story hour” planned for faculty members’ children during “Bring your child to work” day when staff objected.
Brookdale Community College had been planning a read-along event with a drag performer known as “Harmonica Sunbeam” for months before calling it off the night before in order to “respect the comfort levels of all involved,” school officials said.
The reading event was supposed to be part of the Lincroft college’s “Bring Your Child to Work Day” last Thursday, NJ.com reported.
“I did ask why, but I did not receive an answer,” Sunbeam told the outlet with disappointment. “This had been planned for quite some time so I was shocked that it was canceled the night before.”
