A new conservative publishing house wants to get the wokeness out of bedtime. Launching this week, Brave Books will focus exclusively on stories for kids, and offers parents a conservative alternative to the current cultural activism that our children are being taught in schools, in the entertainment they watch and the books they read, according to their website. Company CEO Trent Talbot, who had his first child a little more than a year ago, conceived of Brave Books when, he said, he started to notice that there is a real war going on for the hearts and minds of our kids. And everywhere I looked was propaganda, the Montgomery, Texas-based dad told The Post. An ophthalmologist by trade, Talbot pointed to Ibram X. Kendis picture book, Antiracist Baby, which urges parents and kids to make equity a reality, as content that needs a counterpoint. Once my eyes were open I was seeing it everywhere and I couldnt unsee it, Talbot said. I thought there was a need for books that could help parents teach the values they hold dear. Brave Books first offering is called Elephants are Not Birds, the story of an elephant named Kevin who likes to sing, and then is convinced by a vulture named Culture that he warbles so well, he must actually be a bird. Culture gives Kevin a pair of wings and a beak to wear, though his attempts to live life as a bird are less than successful in the ensuing pages.

The book is an unapologetic rebuke of transgender acceptance and the growing number of young people identifying as trans, says author Ashley St. Clair. Brave Books is eschewing Amazon and only selling directly from its own website, offering parents a book a month for a $12.99 yearly subscription. Other planned books include, The Island of Free Ice Cream by former OAN anchor Jack Posobiec, which will tackle Communism. The company is also courting Congressman Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas), to write Fame, Blame, and the Raft of Shame about cancel culture. Talbot said Elephants are Not Birds has already been positively received by kids from 4 to 12. I would love to see it taught in schools and on summer reading lists and were going to fight to make that happen, he said.

Someone has to save these kids from the left's collective lunacy, because HOLY FUCK they've BEEN gone off the deep end for years now.

Sad that this book is aimed at children when these adult wokies could gain from reading a page or two. LMFAO

Your culture is bad, is the thing, and the things you believe in don't make any sense. I don't blame you for believing it, because you were raised in that isolation.

I've never seen Dios be so obviously anti-trans before, but here we are.

Anyway, what does it say that the author of this book gets their ideas from the crows in Dumbo.

Conservatives are all about hate and tearing people down (excluding the rich). They just can't accept that people can be trans and the hatred for different people, things, or concepts, eats them up inside.

"Oh my god! These books tells us stuff like we shouldn't hate on people who are different! I feel like a Jewish person in Nazi Germany! Waaahhhh!"

The guy is unapologetically-homophobic, so his being anti-trans is no surprise at all.

They just want to make sure their kids can learn everything from a "scientific perspective" because apparently what's being taught in school is not.

Because publishers are forgetting that our young kids need to be trained to hate.

It's kinda ridiculous how this only gets remarked on when conservatives do it, even when it references other stuff in the article that people didn't say a peep about when it happened >_>

Authors with agendas have pretty routinely tried to push on kids, the concept isn't really new. However, it hasn't always been a part of the culture wars.
