How about we concentrate on reading and writing. Or maybe even a little math? You know things that can actually help little kids latter in life. The transformer topics can come latter on.

Well, there's the reading part for you. In addition to that, learning how to successfully interact with people is a much, MUCH more valuable skill than reading or writing will ever be, and "respect people even if they seem weird" is an essential part of that. That's definitely worth teaching in kindergarten.

That, and I'd be surprised if this little lesson took more than an hour, unless the kids had lots of questions (in which case, asking question to help understand a confusing topic is another vital skill that should be taught early). There's plenty of other time for math.
