For years parents have been frustrated with the barrage of left-wing claptrap thrown at our children in public schools. On Nov. 6 we saw yet another example. Teachers in 10 high schools in the Los Angeles area—schools that are among the lowest ranked in the nation when it comes to basic reading and math skills—bused more than 800 students to participate in an anti-Bush rally sponsored by a group calling itself “The World Can’t Wait—Drive out the Bush Regime.” With the use of taxpayer dollars, staff, school police and youth relations personnel accompanied the students to the event on public...

Hillary Clinton, Alan Colmes, Andrew Sullivan among prominent liberals who assail popular kid's book, liken it to Nazi propaganda. Conservative author laughs off allegations. "What else would you expect from liberals?"Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 29, 2005 -- Judging from the reaction of liberal pundits and politicians, George W. Bush is no longer the most despised conservative figure in America. That distinction might just belong now to Katharine DeBrecht, a children's author and mother of three.

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton is attacking a children's book that depicts her as an inveterate liberal who tries to regulate a lemonade stand run by two budding entrepeneurs. The book, "Help! Mom!

Is Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton personally offended by a book poking fun at liberals? Comments from the New York Democrat's spokesman seem to indicate there might be a problem. "Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed" skewers a variety of well-known liberals and their philosophy in cartoon fashion, and features a villain who bears an uncanny resemblance to Hillary taxing and regulating a child's lemonade stand. Last month, the congressional newspaper the Hill quoted Clinton's press secretary Philippe Reines as dismissing the book, which also features look-alikes of fellow liberal icons Ted Kennedy and Jimmy Carter. Reines was...

'Help! Mom!' casts liberals as villains By Cheryl Wetzstein The Washington Times Published October 16, 2005 WASHINGTON -- Katharine DeBrecht, a married mother of three, wanted to make a point about the importance of conservative values. So, she penned a children's book -- "Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed!" -- to stand up to the "liberal agenda that's being thrown at our kids from the left." **SNIP** Liberals have lambasted the book as "brainwashing" and "Nazi propaganda." The Democratic Underground Web site listed Mrs. DeBrecht as one of its "Top 10 Conservative Idiots" last month. "If ever there...
