'Highlights' Magazine has Caved to the Left

'Highlights' children's magazine agrees to indoctrinate children regarding homosexuality

Where is the last place parents would suspect their kiddos to be exposed to same-sex "families" portrayed as normal? In the current controversy, Highlights magazine decided to include same-sex families in their magazines. Babies and preschoolers will soon be introduced to this sensitive topic in the Highlights line of magazines. Parents are seeing more examples of children being indoctrinated to same-sex families as normal, especially in the media. Children's publications are no longer off limits, even those that cater to toddlers and elementary age children.

A lesbian mom reportedly complained that the magazine . . . . . .

I personally haven't seen a copy of Highlights for some time. I remember as a kid reading the publication in the dentist and doctors' offices. My mother bought a subscription. She has since gone to be with Jesus, but I can guarantee you she wouldn't subscribe if the content is what is being described in the article.

As I have grown older I realized a long time ago that weekly reader was for indoctrination purposes. If you went by their narrative we are supposed to be out of oil and clean water and our power is supposed to be being rationed. Thats what weekly reader told us kids in the late 70’s.

You should see the stuff they push in the schools, and many parents have no clue.

I remember a WW as a kid about how horrible it was that IRS computers had parts that crumbled and that taxes weren’t being collected fast enough.

This was 79/80.

There are an awful lot of Goofus and Gallant parodies online:

As I recall, though, Gallant was way too much of a goody-goody.

If you went back in time and found some ordinary magazine, which just covered “stuff” without any angle at all — can you picture some angry Christian complaining? “I just read Road & Track and there was clearly an under-representation of Christians! It was outrageous! Why don’t your car articles talk about Jesus? You better change or I will take you to court!”

It never would have happened.

But today? Some silly kids magazine doing what it has always done and — WHAM! — Lesbian mother contacts them in a huff and demands that they start making some changes ...

And the permanently aggrieved “victims” always get their way.

Weekly reader went out the door when my mother realized the indoctrination bent of the publication. “Back in my day” was a lot earlier than your late 70’s. :)

The proper response would have been: “Go start your own lesbo magazine.”

But in the early '70s we were told that we would all die of diseases from air and water pollution first!

Not if you don’t subscribe, nor buy, nor patronize it.

The sodomites and lesbos can create their own magazines.

That is how America works.

European socialism is taking over existing companies and forcing them to do stuff others demand.

Everyone must learn the difference and reject european socialism.

Monitor your kids, you’ll be ok. It’s difficult nowadays, but nonetheless, they’re the ONLY thing that’s important. Everything else can wait.
