The book reading was hard to stomach. Ugly, stupid, racist, not to mention complacently virtue-signalling. Mao himself could not have found a more sensitive issue than race in America to split the country into warring factions. This is a sick racist book. All children must be protected from this racist rubbish.
How did I not meet you in Park Slope. I just finished a book called The Problem With Parenting which, while it doesn’t go into race specifically looks at the problem of adults projections their own concerns on to children. I’ll be discussing along with another author and Lenore Skenazy in April. Maybe in person but probably via Zoom. (And weirdly I’m friends with Frank Furedi) email me if you want to chat.
Hi Nancy! I will definitely email you -- also, I'm a fan of Lenore Skenazy and I remember way back when her original column about letting her kid ride the subway caused such an uproar. Thanks so much for reaching out.
This brainwashing of children is frightening. I sometimes feel like the doctor in "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" who is the last person left who hasn't become a pod (or "woke" as we call it today). Your blog reassures me that there are at least a few people out there who are still in full control of their minds.
Excellent, extremely valuable essay. Not having kids, I've been blissfully aware of these developments, and now they're inescapable. The "woke" are a malignant plague.
