As a former teacher, now retired...I must say the Weekly Reader was becoming liberal fish-wrap back in the late 80’s. Who only knows how far it’s gone now...? it’s a shame really, it WAS an ok social studies source...
It really is a shame ... I’ve since taken it upon myself to NOT let my child be dumbed down.
For Christmas she’s getting this:
Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed! (Hardcover)
http://www.amazon.com/Help-Mom-There-Liberals-Under/dp/0976726904/ref=pd_sim_b_title_1
Its never too soon to introduce your kids to godless liberals and how they like to manipulate you.
I want her to learn CRITICAL THINKING.
I just ordered this book over at Amazon
