Scholastic, a billion-dollar children\u2019s book juggernaut, turned into the most dangerous in youth culture,\u201d the mother explained. \u201cWe call it the Woketopus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cWoketopus,\u201d the group says, is how Scholastic uses its reach to end up in families\u2019 homes, usually without parental knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA normal publisher of woke children\u2019s books finds it difficult to get poisonous books into your home,\u201d Mandel explained. \u201cThey need to convince you to buy them. The Woketopus doesn\u2019t need parents. It found a way to smuggle propaganda into your home right behind your back, from its perch in our schools.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"cue-group style-scope ytd-transcript-body-renderer\">\n<div class=\"cues style-scope ytd-transcript-body-renderer\">\n<p role=\"button\">\u201cTeachers&nbsp;recommend woke books to America\u2019s next generation, and parents are not there to&nbsp;screen them,\u201d the organization said.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to The Daily Wire, Mandel said Scholastic, aside from being a children\u2019s book publisher, gains access to kids in two big ways: book clubs and book fairs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTeachers act as distributors of books that are included in the book clubs,\u201d she said. \u201cFor every purchase the teachers get <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scholastic.com\/pdfs\/Benefits_Catalog_ENGLISH_0917.pdf\">bonus points<\/a>, they can use to get more books and educational materials from Scholastic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBook fairs take place on school property and involve a selection of books that has been chosen by Scholastic, and include Scholastic books, and books of publishers that have been chosen by Scholastic,\u201d Mandel explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClassroom teachers in more than 90% of public and private elementary schools and early childhood directors nationwide actively use Scholastic Book Clubs to give all their students direct access to the best children\u2019s books at affordable prices,\u201d Scholastic\u2019s website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scholastic.com\/aboutscholastic\/our-businesses\/\">boasts<\/a>. \u201cA treasured classroom program, Scholastic Book Clubs helps teachers by providing a curated selection of top-quality, age-appropriate children\u2019s books at great values.

It was such a short, little question, but she couldn\u2019t make her mouth form the sounds. Mom, what if I\u2019m a girl?\u201d Mandel reads. \u201cGeorge had seen an interview on television a few months&nbsp;ago&nbsp;with a beautiful woman named Tina. She had golden brown skin, thick hair, and blonde&nbsp;highlights, and long sparkling fingernails.&nbsp;The interviewer said that Tina had been born a boy, then asked her whether she had had \u2018the surgery.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe woman replied&nbsp;that she was a transgender woman and that what she had between her legs was nobody\u2019s business but her\u2019s and her boyfriend\u2019s,\u201d Mandel continues to read from \u201cGeorge.\u201d \u201cSo George knew it could be done: a boy could become a girl.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe had since read on the internet that you could take girl hormones that would change your body and you can get a bunch of different surgeries if you wanted them and had the money,\u201d the kids\u2019 book reads. \u201cThis was called&nbsp;transitioning. You could even start before you were 18 with pills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChildren are explorers in a new world,\u201d Mandel tells parents. \u201cWhen your kids read stories, they read them in an unfiltered way.
