New York City public schools have been blasted for introducing a children's book that features a 'queer' main character that hails AOC and her Squad, while mocking Mitch McConnell. A book titled: What You Don't Know: A Story of Liberated Childhood has reportedly been distributed to NYC school libraries, according to the New York Post. The picture book is intended for 10 and 11-year-olds and is reportedly labeled as part of the Universal Mosaic independent reading curriculum, which the Department of Education is expected to launch next year. The book was written and illustrated by Brooklynite Anastasia Higginbotham and centers around a black 'gay sixth-grader'

Whats a 40(50?) something white straight UMC small town Penna woman doing writing as if she is a 6th grade Black urban gay male?
Ain't dat "Cultural Appropriation"....on several levels?
Aren't there any Gay Black authors that can write about their actual experience??? Like uhmmmm, Sean King maybe? Cory Booker? Trevor Noah? Little Richard?? Barry Sotero?

All the literature in the world to choose from and they just can't find anything decent, can they ?
Find the person who chose, promoted and got this 'book' approved and when said person,
publicly turn that person into the 'walking archive' for every copy of that book that was
purchased with taxpayer money !
Then find the so called author and ............................................

While the cesspool overflows in all directions, a book is supposed to save the illiterate sheep.

OK. I halfway agree with main character ... I would mock Mitch McConnell, too.

NYC Public Schools used to have a reputation for excellence in education. Not anymore. AND Parents may be simply “TOO BUSY” to pay much attention to what actually goes on in the classroom or school library these days. So the Teacher’s union continues to defend incompetent teachers and “experts” get to force kids into things for which they would normally need parental supervision and permission. That PARENTS might be the proper judges for such “teachings” goes against the liberal mindset of “the ends justify the means.” IN the final analysis, it is PARENTS who are the guardians of their kids and as such they are responsible to see that their kids get special information or educational materials from them and not from those who (lately) may not have their kids’ best interests at heart.

I came here to say exactly what #6 said. I can’t stand the sight of the murder turtle’s face.

Want to read an example of indoctrination? This book is it. It is just the author’s thoughts on Jesus and has no connection with the person presented in the Bible. People can write as many books as they want regarding their ideas on religion, but to have this completely erroneous depiction of Jesus and His teachings has no place in public education.
The basic tenets of the faith, the Ten Commandments and those concepts that were a part of our founding philosophy which have served us well for centuries have been a great loss to society. They were basic truths of love, respect, honesty, law and order, and responsibility that enabled us to create a society where we could live together in peace and harmony and yet hold to our personal religious beliefs. These were not radical ideas but common sense values that were needed to create respect for one another and present a cohesive set of ideas that would bring us together. The country had a sense of restraint and although we lived together within the parameters of these basic tenets of faith we were free to worship as we chose. You didn’t have to subscribe to any of it but the country was in agreement to the value of the system and respected it. Now that all has been stripped away. Respect, self-respect and actual tolerance has been abandoned in order to appease the most radical among us. They have determinedly torn at the fabric that made it possible to create a civil society and are now actively rejecting the very thing that made this country work so well. The chaos their agenda creates is toxic to civility because it is so destructive. They want us to abandon our faith, the ideas that made this country great, and embrace their chaos and depravity and people are just not going to stand for that. We have been attacked and bullied and now they are actively and openly indoctrinating our children in a philosophy that is dark, depressing and hopelessly focused on sexuality. We are more than that and our children deserve better. What the left offers is a dead end. It is as simple as light versus darkness and children need the light. We all do.

The teachers are going to keep pushing this garbage until there are no students left in government run schools.

I have a novel idea. Why not teach the students reading, writing and mathematics? It would be more useful to them than spending all that time indoctrinating them in CRT, self-hatred, and transgenderism disinformation.

When your mission is to entirely avoid Western culture, and you speak only English, quality pickings are minimal.

If the population of gender confused Americans is only 3% of the population...why the push to indoctrinate our children?...doesn't make sense...the democrats never let a crisis go to waste for votes...so what's up?...are the Dems looking for the sympathy of mothers to push their polls....they are losing the hispanic voters...and the black community voters...and now...they are losing the mothers of babies squeezed out of the formula market while illegal mothers have plenty at the border...are the Dems really this stupid?..YES!!

it's been almost 60 years since Malcolm X said the biggest enemy of the black race is the white liberal.
White liberals are still speaking for blacks as if blacks are unable to speak for themselves. Blacks are not allowed to speak on the dim plantation unless they are uttering the white liberal narrative- see cnn and msnbc.

This is beyond horrific. Kids' reading and math scores are lower than ever and this is what the former mayor is putting on library shelves?
As with everything else the dems have done and are doing to our beloved country, this is shameful and horrifying.
My three granddaughters are going to Catholic school next year, thank God.
