Louis Sachar, the children's author. Corruptor of the innocent, inventor of Antifa, Karl Marx for children.
I could say a lot about Louis Sachar but let's first look (shall we) at There's a Boy in the Girl's Bathroom. First of all the title is completely gratuitous, until you realize it's transgender propaganda. The title comes out of nowhere, he just thrusts it onto a bookcover and it slithers into the subconscious of generations of schoolchildren. Moreover the guidance counselor is constantly at odds with parents, and Sachar presents her as a brilliant visionary stifled by these know-nothing parents. She encourages a Catholic child to embrace Buddhism. She has an anti-Christian agenda. In addition to being anti-parent, the book is anti-cop; Bradley's father is a policeman, and is ignorant, an ineffectual, absent father, and an all around jerk; nobody could read about him and, based on this, come away with a positive view of fathers or law enforcement.
Wayside School is problematic as well. It operates under the cover of being zany and whimsical, but it operates. Louis the Yard Teacher is depicted as more benign and morally superior to the irrational, illogical teacher.
That is the thing at the crux of the manifesto of Louis Sachar; it's anti-parent BUT it's also anti-teacher; anti-populist but also anti-expert. Anti-everything in short. Just turn your kids into glib haters of humanity. The kids would be primed by Bathroom's guidance counselor to reject their parents, but they are also primed by Wayside to reject the educational system. And then would come a pied-pier figure (like Louis the Yard Teacher!) to subvert them.
Holes is more obviously anti-law-enforcement. "God will punish you" is the refrain of the bigoted, hypocritical caricature of small town Christians, in the character (I should say cardboard cutout) of Hattie Parker; we all know what Sachar is trying to do. Trout Walker is the top-hatted capitalist off any Bolshevik poster. Anti-Christian, anti-Capitalist; who pissed in Louis Sachar's cheerios? The man is seething with malevolence. The camp is obvious; it is an idiotic parody of the criminal justice system. Debt to society is meaningless, the digging of the damned holes. Moreover the Yelnats family, all of them chronic failures, are asserted to be geniuses who are just "misunderstood"; no notion of personal responsibility.
Marvin Redpost series is harder to see to the bottom of what Louis is trying to pull; it's a lot of meaningless talk. It's probably just a tract on entitlement; you can be unaccomplished, unproductive like Marvin, yet be told you're quirky and interesting (no evidence of that interest or quirkiness in the book, of course, Marvin is just blowing smoke and bullshitting, but he believes in himself so he's right and authority is wrong), and you'll get your parents' special house when they croak. The family is meaningless and bland, and the name Redpost is stupid, but it's imporant to THEM, dammit, important enough to paint the damn post on the picket fence red every New Year's; this is the pathology of entitlement. Marvin Redpost: Is He a Girl is obviously a tract to push gender dysphoria; turn your kids into damned freaks.
Never put a Louis Sachar book in a child's hands. You were looking at the consequences in America in 2020 of when that does happen. A nation of children who grew up reading about the Yelnats' family hairbrained schemes, now see REAL entrepreneurs as the enemy, and break their stores and loot. Because they see themselves as a nation of Stanely Yelnatses, all of them surrounded by idiotic parents and moronic teachers and bad-natured policemen. You're not teaching Johnny reading comprehension when you give him Louis Sachar, you're teaching him hatred and smallness and badness. The Great Reset started when Louis Sachar shook hands with a shady man in a smoke-filled room and got handed a publisher's contract; and it was finished when your kid put his grubby hands on one of his books filled with sewage and bile.
Word to the wise.
