And, which schools are they appearing at?
I don't have time to look them all up, but it seems fairly widespread.
Here again is from the drag story hour of new york website:
ABOUT
Drag Story Hour
NYC (formerly Drag Queen Story Hour NYC) produces storytelling and creative arts programs for children and teens, presented by local drag artists, in libraries,
schools, and other community spaces in all five boroughs of New York City, and virtually. Through fun and fabulous educational experiences, our programs celebrate gender diversity and all forms of difference to build empathy and give kids the confidence to express themselves however they feel comfortable. [emphasis added]
And from the drag story hour of
Kentucky:

And of course
Minneapolis:
"Minneapolis Hosts Drag Queen Story Hour and Transgender Activist at Elementary School" including Loring Elementary on April 13, 2023.
"Drag queen story hour for 1st graders at
Philadelphia public school outrages parents"
"Four
Colorado Elementary Schools’ DEI Groups Teamed Up To Promote Drag Queen Story Hour"
From Newsweek: "A Public School District Took Middle Schoolers to a Drag Show Without Telling Their Parents"
reporting about
Columbia, Missouri Public Schools.
And of course these are only examples of Drag Queen Story Hours for young kids, and does not include the many books in elementary school libraries that attempt to introduce concepts of gender fluidity and transitioning to kids at very young ages.
