How LeftIsts Are Weaponizing Cancel Culture to Politicize Children’s Books

"[M]uch of the current offerings published recently aren’t about helping children see themselves in a book but indoctrinating children into a particular political and ideological persuasion. The message being sent to children is that all of the world’s ills can be fixed if they turn to activism. No child is too young to start."

    This reminds me of Ayn Rand's "Anthem". Where they start indoctrination at a very young age. I wonder if G. Soros and Bloomberg are funding their agenda though schools and libraries.

    NOTE on conservative movies - you have to see them the first weekend!! Two reasons: 1) it may not be around long and 2) good attendance keeps it in the theater.

    No Safe Spaces is an important movie, and should be seen by as many as possible. I saw a rough cut of it at CPAC (even have a 'No Safe Spaces' bag). I enjoyed it very much.

    I have done the 'demand' thing, and have alerts on Fandango too. I want to get people to it too, so I am 'keeping a sharp eye' out for it.

    Scott, have you thought of trying to get college organizations (e.g. YAL, YAF, SFL, FIRE, TPUSA, Federalist Society) to promote it or even have a showing on campus and/or rent a theater for a night?

    I'm in Boston - any chance Alan Dershowicz (in the movie), or maybe even Harvey Silverglate (founder of FIRE) might attend a showing of it - a panel discussion before/after?

    Don't worry. I can't stop working on my latest attempt of novel-sized fiction. It's in my blood.

    Had to look that saying up. So there is always someone who will like it?
    Maybe it was that creative writing teacher who gave me that A.

    Thank you for the warning. I surprisingly will not click. I appreciate your posting it though.
    I know what these evil satanists promote, it is mentally ill gender confused “victims” the trannies .pushed on society to normalize a disfunction. The purpose likely to get people to Ignore the reality and get emotionally twisted and manipulated.
    Sympathy for the devil so to speak . Or to try to get “ discriminated” against and win a settlement from some perverted judges courtroom.

    Made an A in creative writing at Troy State University around, uh, uh, uh, 1972 maybe.
    Never could sell anything, though.
    Now an old dino still trying. Everyone needs a hobby.

    That kind of “hate” talk gets you banned from twitter. Yet @jack is fine with pedos and terrorists.

    Not intentional I am sure.
    Of course it’s never too early to cause cognitive dissonance.

    My hope is that this is an epidemic that will burn itself out. Even if it is temporary—like the Black Plague and the Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918—the magnitude of its devastation is absolutely tragic.

    This whole thing describes a melding of "Fahrenheit 451" and an abortion clinic to create a beast to turn loose on our kids. If they can't kill the children physically, they'll do it mentally.

    It is the next phase of the war to restrict free speech as described in the book "The Language Police" by Diane Ravitch and then replace it with the whatever the Ministry of Propaganda desires, "1984" style.

    I bought the full set recently. They are outstanding introductions to the works that they are based on.

    However, the author is a really aggressive salesman who barrages his customers with texts and emails touting add-on items.

    The key to a really good floating abstraction is never to define it.

    That way, if anyone tries to pin you down, you can gaslight and move the goalposts.

    Me dino is inspired! Now I know how to write stuff for children in order to find a promoting agent who can get me published in this day and time.
    Let's see, let's do a little experimenting here~~

    Comrades Jack and Jill went up the hill to steal one bucket above their quota of water.
    Beset by the People's hounds, Jack tumbled down to break (his) crown.
    Now chased by the People's hounds, Jill now all bloody came running after.
    Jill did not get away that wonderful day.
    Released from their leashes, the hounds tore
    (her) to pieces.
    Power to the People!
    The End

    *(figure out to do with the gender pronouns later)
    Note--calling meself "me dino" and "I" may be gender free but not all that inclusive with assimilation into the collective.
    Whoa! Meself? Silly dino!
    Note: Maybe silly dino should call silly dino a silly dino. Ha! Wrote that sentence without pronouns! Good work!
    Also noted is more work required for the story to obtain any hope of publication.

    So maybe a dumb question, but what the heck is "cancel culture"? The term doesn't make any sense...

    My wife is a preschool teacher and we go to the local library children’s section often.
    The books are very leftists. I even brought a book up to the librarian The was praising chairman Mao as a great world leader.I asked her if she knew Mao had murdered 60,000,000 of his people. She just shrugged.
    Speaking of Library’s in many cities Tranny’s are volunteering to do children’s book readings in Pubic libraries. Just saw a photo of a tranny dressed as Baphomet for a Halloween children’s book reading at a libtprary.

    I fully agree with you and the description of the kinetics of the "process".

    That's what I was alluding to in my reply.

    The reason it succeeds is what I was also pointing out, that the conversion process is slow. Decades by decades, which is why it is so devastatingly dangerous. People don't realize what the end goal is and take the incremental changes as the change of times, not paying much attention. Only those familiar with the process of conditioning know where it leads to.

    And yes, we are not doing anything to stop it. The only means appears to be elections and even then many don't even show up to have their voice heard.
