How Young Is Too Young to Play ->-bleeped-<- in School Plays?

The best things in life are free, like reruns of All in the Family, and Andrea Peyser's rants on the NY Post website. This time she's fauxtraged about a special needs school on Roosevelt Island that put on a production of La Cage aux Folles, "a cross-dressing, limp-wristed, gay comic romp whose main characters are a pair of 'married' men." It's a big hit on Broadway now, but Peyser thinks it's weird to expose learning disabled and autistic kids—some as young as ten—to it. But maybe she's not so crazy to object to this? Like a handicapped child in drag, we're a little confused.
