Kirk Cameron's children's book about humility released just in time for Pride Month



Kirk Cameron's new children's book, which is meant to teach kids about humility, was scheduled for release on June 1, the day that marks the beginning of the annual month-long celebration of the LGBT movement known as Pride Month.

Cameron's aptly titled "Pride Comes Before the Fall" marks his second kids' book with Brave Books.

"BRAVE Books has partnered with Kirk Cameron to write a second book, Pride Comes Before the Fall. Officially releasing June 1, Pride Comes Before the Fall is a Christian, children's book that teaches kids the dangers of being prideful and the importance of having a humble spirit instead," the Brave Books website states.

During an interview with Jennifer Oliver O'Connell, Cameron, who is widely known for his time acting on the television show "Growing Pains," said that he "had a personal problem with pride" and "struggled with pride growing up."

"It was the value ... of the kindness and grace of God that humbled me," Cameron explained. He said that he learned "it is better ... to focus on God and loving your neighbor than to focus on self-exaltation and self-expression."

Each year of his presidency so far, President Joe Biden has proclaimed June as Pride Month and urged Americans "to wave their flags of pride high."

The White House currently has a Pride Month graphic posted on social media, as does the U.S. Navy.

"June 1 marks the start of 'ME MONTH,' also known as 'Pride Month.' Pride is the deadliest of the seven deadly sins, so rather than glorify it, I'm calling on all God-fearing Americans to shift their focus to the life-giving virtue of humility. That's what my brand-new book is about!" Cameron tweeted. "This book teaches children the importance of humility and serving others through a story they will love."

Woman behind Libs of TikTok writes children's book that 'will give parents and children a tool they can use to spot predatory behavior'



Chaya Raichik, the woman behind the Libs of TikTok Twitter account, has authored a children's book meant to help teach kids to trust their parents and not keep secrets from them.

"If an adult tells a child to keep a secret from their parents, that's a huge red flag. I wrote a kid's book which will give parents and children a tool they can use to spot predatory behavior. My goal is to get this book into as many homes, schools, and libraries in this country as possible!" she tweeted on the Libs of TikTok Twitter account.

\u201cIf an adult tells a child to keep a secret from their parents, that\u2019s a huge red flag.

The forthcoming book, titled "No More Secrets: The Candy Cavern," targets 4- to 8-year-old kids.

"My book is a colorful, modern-day take on the classic, Little Red Riding Hood," Raichik wrote. "It is a fun, beautifully illustrated and age-appropriate story about a sheep named Rose who starts second grade with a new teacher, Mr. Wooly. He suspiciously convinces his students to eat candy and treats everyday at school while telling them to keep it a secret from their parents. Mr. Wooly uses phrases like, 'don't worry about what your parents said,' 'you can trust me,' and 'my class is a safe space.' These are the very phrases that predators in authority positions use on children. Without a strong foundation of trust in her family, Rose may not have felt that twinge of uncertainty alarming her that something was off."

Raichik uses the Libs of TikTok Twitter account to expose the activity and musings of radical leftists, often by reposting the videos that leftists themselves have shared online.

Seth Dillon, who is the CEO of the popular satire site the Babylon Bee, announced last year that he made a deal with Raichik that would "turn her heroic, high-risk work into a career" — he noted that he "personally" made the deal, and the Bee was not involved.

Dillon recently noted that Slack had permanently suspended service for Libs of TikTok: "If your business is defending kids, Slack doesn’t want your money," he tweeted.

Raichik is scheduled to speak at the upcoming CPAC conference.

Rachel Levine celebrated in upcoming installment of children's book series about women



An upcoming installment in a children's book series about women will celebrate Rachel Levine.

As a transgender woman, Levine, who serves as assistant secretary for health for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and as head of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, is actually a biological man.

The children's book uses female pronouns to refer to Levine.

"And Rachel was born transgender, or trans for short. That means that she was born with a boy body, but on the inside, in her mind and in her heart, she was a girl," the book reads. "The first time that Rachel knew for sure that she was a trans girl was when she was five years old."

The book includes an introduction by Chelsea Clinton and is scheduled to be released later this year on June 6.

"Inspired by the #1 New York Times bestseller She Persisted by Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger comes a chapter book series about women who spoke up and rose up against the odds–including Rachel Levine!" a description declares. "As the first openly transgender government official to hold an office that requires Senate confirmation, the first openly transgender four-star officer in uniform service, and the first female four-star admiral in the commissioned corps, Rachel Levine faced many obstacles throughout her life. But she persisted through them all and showed kids of all genders that they can succeed in their dreams too."

"In this chapter book biography by critically acclaimed author Lisa Bunker, readers learn about the amazing life of Rachel Levine–and how she persisted," the description states. "Complete with an introduction from Chelsea Clinton, black-and-white illustrations throughout, and a list of ways that readers can follow in Rachel Levine’s footsteps and make a difference! A perfect choice for kids who love learning and teachers who want to bring inspiring women into their curriculum."

This Author’s Intricately Designed Picture Books Seek To Cultivate Children’s Souls

In a culture that teaches children they can choose what they are meant to be, Matthew Mehan's latest picture book couldn't be more timely.

At least 30 school districts use children's book that teaches 'whiteness' is an evil contract with the devil



At least 30 public school districts from 15 different states teach about race using a children's book that claims "whiteness" is a contract with the devil, filmmaker and journalist Christopher Rufo reported this week.

What are the details?

The book, titled "Not My Idea: A Book About Whiteness," was published in 2018 by Dottir Press and written by progressive children's author Anastasia Higginbotham.

It follows the story of a young white girl who wrestles with the issue of race after seeing a news report of a police officer shooting and killing an unarmed black man. The child tries to get answers from her white family members, but they either remain silent or make excuses. So she sets out on an educational quest herself, first discovering the harmful reality of white supremacy in America and then resolving to dismantle it.

Based solely on the plot, the book — though certainly hamfisted and partisan — might not be considered all that radical. But what's particularly troubling are the downright racist insinuations made about white people that are sprinkled throughout.

One such insinuation occurs toward the end of the book when the author writes, "Whiteness is a bad deal ... it always was," in response to a picture of the devil holding out "a contract binding you to whiteness."

In case there were any questions about the identity of the devilish character, the author added, "Dude, we can see your pointy tail."

Here is the full list of public school districts that are teaching "Not My Idea," which traffics in the noxious pri… https://t.co/HUrj2aI0km

According to the whiteness contract, signees are promised "stolen lands," "stolen riches," and "special favors." In return, whiteness gets to "mess endlessly with the lives of ... all fellow humans of color for the purpose of profit" — oh, and "your soul."

What else?

In the book's foreword, Higginbotham claims that she wrote the book to help her own white children "dismantle white supremacy."

Watch below as a YouTube personality reads through the entire book. The part about the whiteness contract with the devil comes up at the 11:23 mark.

"You can be white without signing onto whiteness," the author claims.

Anything else?

According to Rufo, the school districts that have adopted the book into their curricula have done so by scheduling read-alouds in class, asking parents to read the book to their children, or including the book in recommended reading lists.

Rufo noted that in doing so, the school districts are trafficking "the noxious principles of race essentialism, collective guilt, and anti-whiteness" into classrooms.

He also pointed out that that the idea of "whiteness" as a form of "stolen land and riches" is derived from "one of critical race theory's founding texts, 'Whiteness As Property,' authored by Cheryl Harris in 1993."

"They've directly adapted CRT for elementary schools," he argued.
