Continuing the Individualist Garbage

1 star

Someone ought not let Chelsea Clinton write books for kids because, as with many of the more "political" books about injustice for kids (which also attempt to be somehow apolitical), she's not capable of saying anything of value.

Many of these thirteen women faced a range of abuse, persecution, and harassment... which came from outside of their own abilities. There is no focus on the fact that society should change, there is nothing saying that the people putting them down were wrong... The overall message is that we must be resilient in the face of bigotries and abuse. There is no message saying that people should stop being bigoted or stop abusing people.

It's absolutely bonkers. This should not be the message of our kids' books.
