Woke literature. When it’s not shoving graphic pornography in front of 10-year-olds, it’s just destroying their interest in reading.
Amid a cascade of devastating reports showing classroom test scores plummeting nationwide, U.S. students have also hit a record low in their leisure time: Casual reading has collapsed.
Only 14 percent of students say they read for fun every day, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) report released recently, down 3 percentage points from 2020 and 13 since 2012. The report indicates 31 percent of students never or hardly ever read for fun.
Shocking that Gender Queer and the 500 LGBTQ memoirs and ‘everything white is racist’ books being pushed by the educracy and the publishing monopolies haven’t inspired a lifelong love of reading in children.
The first thing that pops up on the Simon and Schuster teen reading list is “LGBTQIA+ Books You Need to Read ASAP”.
Penguin Random House’s first offering is ‘How To Be a Young Antiracist’ by Ibram X. Kendi.
Can you blame kids if they view all of this are not just ugly and hateful, but tediously didactic propaganda that feels like homework?
This garbage is about as much fun as reading Marxist propaganda on the weekend.

Leftist literature comes in booklet form, stapled in the fold and requires a box of Crayolas™ to complete.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Just reading books, or reading from the internet?
Mickorn says
Young people are not reading. Should we try to understand why? Should we examine the role of technology, culture, the anti-intellectualism instilled into the American ethos back in the day when “America was great”?
Nah, let’s blame it on the woke Islamist communist gay pedophiles. They don’t exist, but they’re certainly fodder for endless itty bitty posts such as this one.
Ugly Sid says
I agree. The site is unworthy of you.
We all apologize.
CowboyUp says
It’s not that we’re anti-intellectual, it’s that most of those that call themselves intellectuals couldn’t think their way out of a wet paper sack, and we see that.
And mick, you lack the vision and brains to really examine anything. Only a zombie could get anything useful out of your skull.
Una Salus says
It’s really not that difficult to destroy next gen interest in anything our latest procreating generation of garbage has generated. Next, they’re going to complain to garbage authorities,
Una Salus says
Garbage authorities they generated will tell them to get lost.
Una Salus says
Teen interest in reading?!!! What planet generated you?
Una Salus says
Even if you can get your teen to haphazardly read something besides TikTok you’re going to be a freak of literacy or even worse literacy confined to what utter bigots you are.
Ugly Sid says
Clean that up a little and Kampala can incorporate it.
Mickorn says
Yes, the woke Communist Islamist gay pedophiles are making your children not want to read! It’s not business, technology, culture, or the anti-intellectualism instilled in the American ethos when “everything was great.” It’s the wokes, you hear? the wokes!!!
Ugly Sid says
Isolate the “root causes” and prescribe a palliative, you intellectual giant you.
Your remarkable thoroughness in comprehension expands the very concept of dumbfounded. The deaf have had their monopoly on dumbness smashed in a breakthrough,
Don’t let functional hearing hold you back. You can dumbfound on a professional level. Presidential even. I wouldn’t be surprised if the White House reached out to you. Talent talks. Conservatives walk.
Susan Pinkard says
Where are the parents introducing the likes of Gary Paulsen, Lois Lowry, Jane Yolen books.
