Scholastic’s New School Catalog Hawks Books To Saturate Kids With Identity Politics
 
The world's largest publisher and distributor of books to kids, which hosts the No. 1-visited site for U.S. elementary school teachers, has gone full-on woke. You won't believe the garbage they're selling to public schools.

This year’s back to school catalog for grades three to six from Scholastic, a children’s publishing giant, features books selected through a partnership with the identity politics pressure group We Need Diverse Books. The results are about what you might imagine.

The catalog’s front page features books about a Pakistani-American girl whose Milwaukee mosque is vandalized in a “hate crime,” a girl who finds out “her dad is secretly dating her best friend’s mom,” and a book about “Native American Heroes” who of course include political activists. Delightful. Third through sixth graders — who are approximately ages eight to twelve — definitely need this kind of broadening of their childish perspectives.



Inside, we find a novel about a middle-school girl who is cast as Romeo in the school production of “Romeo and Juliet” and finds herself attracted to the also-female lead playing Juliet. Is it possible to be bisexual in middle school, the catalog copy breathlessly asks?

Trust me, scholastic is not introducing anything new here.  This shit gets into middle schools via the internet, and all the kids, even the clueless wonders, know all about it. 

If you want to prevent middle schoolers from being exposed to this stuff, kill off the internet.

Let's see, middle school ... I was reading Mark Twain, Shirley Jackson, various other classics, and none of this basura.
