A Seattle museum will host a drag camp for kids as young as 12 with camp-goers taught 'hair and makeup techniques'.

Led by local drag artist Joshua Hancock, 'Summer Camp: the Art of Drag' runs each summer at the West Coast city's Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP).

The event's release states: 'Calling all current and future kings and queens! Explore self-expression in MoPOP's week-long, drag-tastic summer camp!

'Led by Seattle performer Joshua Hancock, you'll investigate drag history and work together with local artists to create your own personas.

'You'll choose your name, explore hair and makeup techniques, and develop your character's stage presence.

'At the end of the week, celebrate your new drag personas with a private showcase!'

'Summer Camp: the Art of Drag' runs from August 18-22 and costs $370 if you register before May 31, or $400 after that.

A spokesperson for MoPOP told Fox News: 'We celebrate creativity with all members of our community as a core part of our mission.

Although I find this disgusting and repulsive, at least it is a volunteer camp where parents are involved in the process of their children participating, not forced upon them in public school.

Besides, where else is the next generation of Drag Queens going to come from?

I’m sure there are a lot of woke parents that can’t wait to sing up.

I am curious to know the political/economic/ethnic backgrounds of the parents and their children they send to this modern-day Moloch.

Just some independent research I am doing....

parents who send their kids to this grooming camp should be charged with child abuse, as should the people running the camp.

What's odd is that they think beauty contests for women are patriarchal oppression. But beauty contests and drag shows for men (and boys) strutting around in a caricatured, fetishized version of femininity is empowering. To men, that is.

This is just men taking over the last frontier: femininity itself.

Does this museum have an address? 5 gals of gas and a strike anywhere match should do a number on it.

Some parents want to abuse their children. Some organizations want to help them do it.

How is this any different, to women, than minstrel shows are to blacks?

Drag presents extremely exaggerated caricatures of womanhood.

Drag should receive the same outrage as blackface.

The parents have been brainwashed for two generations not to teach their children right from wrong, but to keep repeating the following mantra, “I’m so proud of my son. He’s following his own path.” If they have doubts inside, they assume that it’s their “evil bias” and that they have to deny it and redouble their “joy” at having a completely screwed up offspring who screws up other people’s children. Some go all the way in their narcissistic agenda and rent a womb so they can have pet children who cannot take a time out or escape their captivity.
