I mean the SKS will still probably be there. Have one, love it. People buy then get rid of them once they get a AK or something similar unless they REALLY like it (like me). I think pawn shops will definitely change, but they'll still have the classics
"nerdy" adult media related children's books are probably made for the same reason as those sociopolitical children's books
I'm glad I'm not an Anglo and I don't have to see this shit in libraries and around kids
i think what's creepy about this is that teaching children about historical or current figures, in politics, science, whatever... is nothing new nor strange, there have always been books about people like Einstein or Galileo for kids at their own level. but these people aren't massive figures in their fields beyond the scope or very, and i mean VERY current political climate, nor are they much interesting individuals in their own right
Kids don't actually read any of this shit. These are written for adults who want to virtue signal by having these books seen in their house. My kids bring home books about dinosaurs and sharks and Minecraft and Pokemon shit from the library.
kids don't WILLINGLY tend to pick this stuff up, but if teacher says to read it, they'll have to read it
I can't speak for every school, but my kids are generally free to pick their own baggie and library books, and are not forced to read any particular storybooks unless it's one the teacher reads to the whole class.
ask yourself in earnest: why ELSE is this stuff made? the people writing or buying this don't have kids and they don't write it for themselves, this is, from the very conception, made to be pushed into schools
There are plenty of Liberal idiots with kids who would buy those books. Plus, there are lots cool wine aunts who could give it to their niece or nephew for Christmas, and single adults who would buy such a book just for the novelty of it as a bit of a virtue signal.
Doesn't matter if its read or not, as long as it gets bought.
I don't doubt kids would rather read anything else, but adults will find a way to force it to them. Take a look at the Amazon reviews, while some bought it for themselves, others bought them for their kids/grandkids/nephews/friends' kids etc. One says: "I had to buy three copies of the RG Golden Book for all my little readers at my little free library. They loved it."
They also weren't published under the "Little Golden Books" label. I don't remember any of that shit when I was a kid in the 90s. I don't remember anyone younger than me ever having anything like that either in the 00s or early 10s. The politicization of childhood picture books is absolutely creepy, and it's even creepier that it isn't just some nutty cat lady self-publishing or getting published on some leftist imprint but is 100% mainstream.
Oh I've seen these kinds of creepy propaganda kids books before.
I remember first seeing these with "My Mama Voted for Obama" and thinking it was the dumbest thing ever and so cringe that nobody else would bother.
