While Drag Race obviously isn't a kid's show, it's sparked a certain degree of pop culture interest in drag in the last 4-5 years, some of which has translated into kid-friendly content. That, in turn, has the potential to be leveraged as an incentive to help kids learn by tying learning activities into pop culture.

Basically, drag story time is the approximate modern equivalent to having a local pro wrestler read books to kids in costume in the 90's: It's novel (pun not intended) enough to break up the usual monotony of class, the relevance to pop culture is going to catch the interest of students that might otherwise not be interested in reading, and it gives kids an opportunity to get a better understanding of this element of pop culture that's grabbed their interest (in the case of wrestling, understanding why it's not necessarily safe to piledrive your friends just because Stone Cold said so, in the case of drag, better understanding that little piece of LGBTQ culture). And, of course, the usual suspects lose their minds the moment queer people are allowed to obviously exist, with precisely the expected results.
