Frankly, I think “young children” are too young to be taught “the valuable lessons of conservatism<\/a>” — or of “liberalism,” for the matter. I don’t want Katherine being taught that liberals as a group<\/em> are politically correct meanies out there who will try to steal her money, scoff at her prayerfulness, and deprive her of free thought, any more than I want characterized to her that conservatives are as a group<\/em> corrupt moneybags who are out to rob her of free speech, repress her sexuality, and consign her to a slave wage hell. <\/p>\n

Frankly, I’m a lot more happy with books that teach her to be polite, pick up her room, and be friendly to others. She’ll pick up enough ill-formed political generalities from comments she overhears from her parents, reject all of it when she’s a teenager, and make up her own mind when she’s an adult. That’s the American way, after all.<\/p>\n
