Brooke Gossett @luvgod - This is clear proof that what we’re seeing is indoctrination, not compassion. If it were about helping the 3% of children who identify as transgender understand what they’re going through, we’d all support that. But that’s not what this is…
Barnes & Noble’s has an agenda. The children’s section is overflowing with queer and trans storylines…. woven into nearly every shelf. When a child faces something difficult like grief, illness, or loss, there’s usually a small section of books meant to help. But this isn’t a small section… it’s everywhere.
The volume of books doesn’t match the demographic…. only 3% of children are even part of this lifestyle. This isn’t about representation… it’s about reprogramming young minds. They’re targeting impressionable children at the earliest ages, shaping beliefs before they can even think for themselves. When every story carries the same message, it stops being education and becomes manipulation.
- I’ve done some digging into….
The Money Pipeline Behind Today’s Children’s Books……
- How the pipeline works…
1. Private foundations fund nonprofit book networks…
•The W.K. Kellogg Foundation gave $1 million to start the Diverse Books for All Coalition run by First Book.
•The Buffett Early Childhood Fund added $250 thousand.
•Together they created a buying collective that uses foundation money to purchase and distribute “diverse” children’s books at little or no cost.
2. Nonprofits buy or collect books from the major publishers….
•The first coalition order moved 145,000 books (about $1.5 million retail value) from Penguin Random House, Abrams, Barefoot, and Candlewick.
•First Book and the National Book Foundation act as conduits, moving millions of free or discounted copies into schools, libraries, and community programs.
3. Publishers build DEI output into corporate policy….
•Penguin Random House’s social-impact plan pledges to “demonstrate measurable increases in content acquired and promoted from the widest range of contributors.”
•Scholastic integrates these titles directly into its Book Fairs.
