What a contrast- kids all across Montana are getting wholesome books shipped to them thanks to a program supported by country music legend Dolly Parton and Montana first lady Susan Gianforte. Meanwhile, the Montana teachers union is pushing crazy, woke Left wing propaganda on kids.

Last month, we told you about a report by the Freedom Foundation. Max Nelson exposed how the Montana Federation of Public Employees (MFPE) was pushing a radical, woke, anti American agenda at their recent teachers conference. Now, the Freedom Foundation has a report showing how that same teachers union is pushing this propaganda on kids through books.

We'll get to that in a second, but first- I gotta give a big shout out to Montana's first lady Susan Gianforte and Dolly Parton. Susan and Gov. Greg Gianforte have been promoting Dolly's "Imagination Library" to get books into the hands of kids all across Montana- and the numbers are incredible.

Over 26,000 Montana kids have already registered for the program. According to the governor's office, that is 44% of eligible Montana children. (Updated from original post which reported 25,000 kids) It is available to families in all 56 counties. The cost for books for the full year per child is $31. Parents, grandparents, and guardians can register at imaginationlibray.com This has been Susan Gianforte's main initiative as first lady.

How cool is that? And the point that the Freedom Foundation's Max Nelson makes- through Dolly Parton's program, kids get wholesome books, classic books.

Now contrast that with the books that the teachers union is pushing on kids...here's what Max outlined in a new report that you can find by clicking here.

From The Freedom Foundation: 

While Imagination Library gives away classics like Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar, a new report by the Freedom Foundation documents how, over the past year, the state teachers union—the Montana Federation of Public Employees (MFPE)—has gone out of its way to distribute children’s books to public school libraries containing divisive racial content and LGBTQ+ themes and generally seeking to enlist students in progressive activism.

Titles include:

• She Persisted in Science, by Chelsea Clinton (yes, those Clintons), which counters the purportedly pervasive sentiment that “women can’t be scientists” in part by praising the climate activism of Swedish youth Greta Thunberg.
• An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States, by “historian and activist” Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz. The neo-Marxist work attacks the very concept of America, claiming the United States was founded “on the ideology of white supremacy, the widespread practice of African slavery, and a policy of genocide and land theft.”
• Brooms, by Jasmine Wall, has been described as a “fantastical LGBTQIA+ sports story” and “a queer, witchy Fast and the Furious” in which a group of racially and sexually diverse teen witches participate in illegal, underground broom races in 1930s Mississippi.
• This Book is Antiracist: 20 Lessons on How to Wake Up, Take Action and Do the Work, by Tiffany Jewell, is intended to empower students to “speak up to the racist adults in their life.” The book claims that the work of antiracism “takes all school year,” advocates for use of the term “folx” instead of “folks,” which apparently isn’t sufficiently gender-neutral, and advises students to carry a literal “anti-racist toolbox” with them to cope with the “stress” and “tension” brought on by confronting racists in daily life.

"If this is what Montana’s public schools are focused on, it’s little wonder fewer than half of students are proficient in reading, math, and science."

Max Nelson: "While MFPE can do what it likes with its own funds as a private organization, including purchasing and distributing woke books by progressive authors, policymakers are well within their rights to decide they don’t want to subsidize such organizations or programs with taxpayer dollars, as Montana law currently requires and permits in varying contexts."
