F.E.E. is a great organization.

I remember reading “I, Pencil” as a young man:

It is the cure for the “Cargo Cult” mentality of the leftists.

The Tuttle Twins books take libertarian and free market themes and texts and make them accessible to children. For example, The Tuttle Twins Learn About the Law incorporates ideas from Frederic Bastiat’s essay, The Law, and The Tuttle Twins and the Search for Atlas, highlights the message from Ayn Rand’s book, Atlas Shrugged.

I was going to make a smart-ass comment about a version of The Road to Serfdom. Then I went to their page and saw:

I am too slow to do satire because reality just passes me by.

So the critique said these books constituted brainwashing. It doesn’t because the kids are daily exposed to the opposite philosophy. But, heaven forbid, we let kids know there is more than one side to inconsequential topics like the economics, history, common good, law enforcement, governing.
