Wonderful discussion. I just have to say first that these two guys are just so damn likable and funny and smart and articulate that it gets to be hard to disagree with anything that gets said. Just my opinion.
Here’s a heads up for interested comment readers and G. and J. also. Ibram Kendi and Jason Reynolds have published a new children’s book titled “Stamped-For Kids”. This book is “Antiracist” propaganda disguised as a history of African Americans from 1415 to present. Written for probably junior high level children, it’s goal would seem to be exactly what John and Glenn described so precisely toward the end of the discussion, namely to co-opt our kids into a crusade in furtherance of political objectives which are not shared by anything like a majority of the American population.
I would love to hear John and Glenn do a brief book review, because the gross distortions and breathtaking oversimplifications in this book are beyond my powers of description. I will only say this: If there is a book somewhere that does a better job of leading American children to believe that they now live in one of the most racist, most hateful countries ever to exist, it has yet to be written.
