Is Highlights magazine woke?

I am thinking of ordering Highlights magazine for my grandchild. She is 3 going on 4 and I know I loved it as a kid.The excitment of getting her own mail and then looking thru it would be fun and educational. Is it too woke these days?

What about the Harry Potter books? I don’t know.

I've not read the books, nor seen the films. The author is very sympathetic to gays. I heard that one of the main characters is gay, but it's not explicit.

The author (I forget her name) got in trouble because, though she claims to be pro-transwomen, she refuses to agree that transwomen are women. Naturally, that doesn't go far enough to suit the trannies.

while it's a thrill to get a magazine in the mail, it's more fun to get a visit from a grandparent bringing a learning experience -- a book, a building set, a musical instrument or a telescope or a radio kit...

Ah yes, I remember Radio Shack. In the 1970s, my friend's older brother was an audiophile who built his own stereo speakers.

Even CEO Can't Figure Out How RadioShack Still In Business.
