A Jewish college professor portraying a drag queen led a group of young children in a chant to “Free Palestine” at a queer story time event held in a Massachusetts town that happens to be nicknamed the "Lesbian capital of the world."
The drag queen, who goes by the name Little Miss Hot Mess, used his version of a familiar children’s rhyme to lead the children.
He led them into the chant by shouting to them from the stage, “If you are a drag queen and you know it and you really want to show it,” with the children being taught to follow with—“free Palestine.”
Yes, this is really happening in America.
Be informed, not misled.
The kids were fed the prompt line several times by the drag queen, one of two involved in the presentation.
The verse is based on the more familiar rhyme line, “If you’re happy and you know it and you really want to show it, clap your hands.”
It is often used in children’s TV shows like Barney & Friends and Sesame Street.
Those of us raised in Sunday School might also remember a Christian version of that little rhyme.
One of several things that struck me in my heart about this pagan ritual was how these perverts are stealing the minds of the children, with parents sitting with the kids, seemingly enjoying the event.
Another was a little child holding a cardboard sign that read:
"There is no such thing as a Holy Land built on the graves of children."
The event, which was entitled Queer Storytime For Palestine, was held at the Northampton Center For The Arts (NCFA) on April 14. But a video posted on X has sparked recent outrage.

The New York Post reported, "Video of a drag queen in Massachusetts leading a group of young kids to chant 'Free Palestine' has sparked a fierce backlash — with some calling it 'indoctrination' that is 'wrong on every level.'”
"The encounter, which unfolded at a 'Queer Storytime for Palestine' event organized by the Valley Families for Palestine group in Amherst last week, had gone viral by Thursday as outrage mounted," the Post says.
It continues: “Today what we’re going to do is shout ‘Free Palestine.’ Can I hear that?” the drag queen, known as “Lil Miss Hot Mess,” was filmed telling the children in the 30-second clip.
“If people can’t see that drag queens teaching kids to chant ‘Free Palestine’ is wrong on every level, then they seriously are part of the problem,” British TV host and politician Nigel Farage raged in a post on X.
Meanwhile, Jake Wallis Simons, the editor of the Jewish Chronicle, quipped: “Seriously. Yahya Sinwar, Putin, Xi and the Ayatollah are laughing so hard (and sharpening their knives).”
As of Friday, the arts center had removed any trace of the event from its website and online calendars.
A group called “Valley Families For Palestine” has been identified as being behind the event.
Following the backlash, the event organizer made its Instagram page private and removed all contact information from its website.
According to the New England Network For Justice For Palestine, which promoted the event, it was recommended for children from preschool through upper elementary school.
It included a recommended $5 donation for the event, with proceeds advertised as going to Al Qaws, a Palestinian LGBTQ movement.
About the so-called "drag queen."
Kornstein flies all over the country doing drag queen storytime events in libraries and other venues and promoting sexual behavior to children.
According to his website, he has performed all over the country, including at the San Francisco bar The Stud, as well as on television including Saturday Night Live. He is currently on the Board of Directors for the national group Drag Queen Story Hour.
He is also listed on a website for drag queen artists around the country as the co-founder of the #MyNameIs campaign in protest of Facebook’s real name policy.
Mr. Kornstein is named on Turning Point USA’s professors watch list for promoting sexual behavior to children. He is also among several Jewish writers who recently signed a letter pledging their support for Palestine.
He has used other familiar children’s rhymes as the basis of other books he has written.
Mr. Kornstein also authored the book, “The Hips On The Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish,” an offshoot of the classic nursery book “The Wheels On The Bus Go Round and Round.”
Excerpts from the book he read at the Northampton event include, “If you’re a drag queen and you know it, blow a kiss“ and, ”Let it show by shaking your bum.”
This is sick.
Last year Kirk Cameron posted this on X hoping millions of parents would read it and see the video and wake up.
They are grooming children. They are sexualizing little kids.

These parents are criminals, and the drag queen is sick for touching this little girl in a sexual manner. https://t.co/7yKPsExycA

God help us to stand for righteousness in a Gomorrah culture.
The battle is not primarily political---it is primarily spiritual.
2 Corinthians 10:4-5: "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ."
