"[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."

    Yes, there is nothing new in this, but it still snuck up on virtually everyone, nonetheless.

    It is a non-linear process, like an algae bloom that doubles in size every week.

    At first, it is a tiny speck that escapes notice. A week later, it is still too small to bother anyone. Some weeks later, it is a small patch. Eventually, it covers the pond and chokes the life out of it.

    Even a month before this happens, the algae still covers only a bit more than 5% of the surface, and anyone who complains is branded a Chicken Little.

    Based on what the author of the article above writes, as well as other similar articles that I have seen over the past year, this is what has happened with the sexualization and indoctrination of children.

    It used to be that we laughed as these silly anti-rational nihilists. Later, we got annoyed when the defended Bill Clinton's rapes and Barack Obama's numerous scandals. Today, they are chemically sterilizing children and mutilating their genitals, while we stand with our mouths hanging open in disbelief.

    What? Ayn Rand wasn't explicit enough, when she sounded the alarm a half-century ago?

    You would think that all the frogs purposely placed with feelings of care in the “safe space” of illiberal pots would be really uncomfortable by now.

    Nothing new in this.

    We have known it for decades.

    It is a creeping change, drip by drip, carefully implemented so people won't realize what is going on until it is done.

    The process took a boost from the 8 years under Obama. The damage has been done and the current war between the parties is a clear indication of the determination of the left to push it to the conclusion at any cost.

    The nest where the eggs of this infestation are hatched is in the College of Education, where new school teachers are filtered and programmed, and school and university administrators earn their PhDs in Education Administration.

    The latter then are in a position to spread their anti-rational nihilism across the curriculum.

    Today, it is so bad that physicians are chemically sterilizing children and then mutilating their genitals, in flagrant violation of their Hippocratic Oaths.

    As for the Management Department, that was an easy victory; Management and Sociology professors publish in the same journals. Management majors can push their agendas from the HR departments of organizations and threaten the careers of all who do not submit.

    Step four, ban books like the Chronicles of Narnia and other inspiring books for children.

    That is done by infiltrating HR departments (via the humanities) and installing their intolerant “trust and safety” divisions. Follow the party line or get constantly harassed and let go. An effective method for creating dependency and cowards that bend their knee to power hungry authority.

    Somewhere between Step One and Step Three:

    Infiltrate Business, Engineering, Law, Medicine, and the basic Sciences.

    Step one, take over the humanities
    Step two, indoctrinate the children.
    Step three, lower the voting age
