Get them when they are young.

Via The Federalist:

Despite women’s unemployment at an all-time low, a booming economy, and women like Nikki Haley, Linda McMahon, Kellyanne Conway, Sarah Sanders, and others taking lead roles in the presidential administration, some women and organizations base their livelihood on telling other women and girls that they are victims. Even though I parodied their ridiculous actions like promoting feminism and social justice with $700 Dior T-shirts, there is one area they’ve found mainstream success: Children’s books.

The stories of woke children often seem like a parody of themselves. Every time I hear of something a woke kid said, I want to yell, “That didn’t happen!” For example, Amelia Womack, deputy leader of the Green Party, tweeted, “My 11 year old nephew just said that he doesn’t like James Bond because he saw a cover of a James Bond book with a naked woman on and he didn’t think that women’s bodies should be used to sell things #proudauntiemoment.”

Wokeness is leeching into every aspect of culture. BuzzFeed posted a list of onesies for “your woke AF baby.” NPR published “Summer Reading for Your Woke Kid.”

The politicization of children’s books began with The New York Times. In 2008, the Times proclaimed in a headline, “The Secret to Success in Publishing: Bash Bush, With Nods to a Classic.” What followed was a 500-word positive book review for “Goodnight Bush.” From the article:

The cover of Goodnight Bush looks almost exactly like Goodnight Moon — green and orange, with an image of a window and fireplace — and uses a similar rhyme scheme. But there the thematic similarities end.

The authors, Erich Origen and Gan Golan, set their story in ‘a situation room.’ There is no bunny snuggling into bed, but rather George W. Bush grinning and wearing a ‘Mission Accomplished’ flight suit. Instead of three little bears sitting on chairs, there are ‘war profiteers giving three cheers.

They’re still using the same tired scare tactics with the Trump administration, while insisting they’ve always liked George W. Bush. Today one of the popular themes of political children’s books is that as soon as you’re born you’re a victim because of your sex or skin color. The books claim to be empowering, but invariably start with the premise that society says young readers can’t do something.
