Deborah DeGroff on the dangers of children's books
Manage episode 518678063 series 2573945
This episode was recorded for my UK Column show. Please support UK Column.
In this conversation, Jerm and Deborah DeGroff, a dedicated researcher who's spent years exposing the ideological rot creeping into children's literature to mould young minds for elite agendas, unpack the disturbing shifts in kids' books over decades, from sneaky propaganda pushes and deliberate dumbing down of reading levels to the critical push for parents to step up and vet what their little ones encounter.
Deborah stresses staying sharp on the dodgy themes and language slipping into modern titles that twist innocence, while touching on how teachers and schools steer reading habits and how digital formats amp up the consumption of this manipulated content, all urging folks to reclaim control from the cultural gatekeepers.
Basically, parents must read what their kids are reading.
