The disturbing reality behind Read Across America

The teachers union canceled Dr. Seuss, even though they based Read Across America on his birthday. Now, the NEA uses the event to promote ever-more-woke books to push to your kids.

Now that Seuss is out of the picture, the NEA instead highlights picture books like "’Twas the Night Before Pride," with stanzas that read, "The drag queens all brushed their wigs with great care, and the bikers checked their tires to make sure they had air." (Yes, this is a real book.)  Jill Simonian is a mom of daughters and Director of Outreach for PragerU Kids, creating wholesome, pro-America edutainment for children ages Kindergarten through high school.

We failed to recognize that Read Across America was invented and implemented by the NEA (National Education Association). They’re a group of bureaucrats who, by current evidence and real-time experience, linked arms with overreaching politicians to keep schools closed, imposed unscientific mandates onto unsuspecting children and teachers, and contributed millions of dollars in membership dues to progressive ideas ranging from LGBTQ causes in schools to Palestinian interests to left-wing politicians seeking re-election.
