Welcome to the newest frontier of political indoctrination: Children’s books.
Bookstores these days are stacked with hyperpartisan propaganda aimed at stealing the minds of our youngest, though not necessarily our most impressionable.

In what can be described only as a very long game, all the lefties are peddling political playbooks to children.
“Nevertheless, She Persisted†is a book about Elizabeth Warren, the senator from Massachusetts. I did not read the book, but I am deeply offended that anyone would seek to perpetuate this sexist trope about women being annoying and never knowing when to shut up and stop pestering. I personally do not know any woman who fits this stereotype, especially my wife. Though, to be fair, I have not spent time with Elizabeth Warren.
Kirsten Gillibrand, the senator from New York running for president, has a children’s book out called “Bold & Brave,†featuring a princess riding a horse on the lawn of the U.S. Capitol. It seems kind of dated to me for somebody to title a book about women voting after a daytime television soap opera. But, hey, it’s her book and she does not strike me as terribly bright.
