Washington State To Spend $83K On Training Featuring Drag Queen Story Hour Director
Washington state is preparing to spend an estimated $83,000 on an employee diversity training featuring the Director of Drag Queen Story Hour, information obtained by The Daily Wire reveals.
Titled the Washington DEI Empowerment Conference, the training is set to include talks on diversity, “anti-racism,” and equity every Wednesday in June.
Hayden Michaels, the deputy communications director of the Office of Financial Management, told The Daily Wire that “We expect the cost of putting on the conference to be about $83,000. With 16 sessions and 5,000 seats each session, this works out to $1.06 per seat.”
The speech’s description defends the performance of drag in front of children, explaining that Executive Director of Drag Queen Story Hour Jonathan Hamilt will share “the necessity of LGBTQAI+ family programming and how the powerful art-form of drag teaches young humans about inclusivity, celebrating diversity, and the vital freedom of self-expression.”
