The saying that “Give me a child until he is 7 and I will show you the man” has been variously attributed to Aristotle and the Jesuits, but it is dictatorships who seem to treat it as an iron rule.

From the Hitler Youth to the Communist Youth League, totalitarian regimes have always been particularly eager to get their hooks into the minds of the young.

Today’s totalitarians are the “rainbow” ideologues at the vanguard of the neo-Marxist assault on liberal democracy. Nothing is safe from the “Waffen-SSM”, as the late artistic genius Bill Leak dubbed them.

Children least of all.

The classic book collection “The Baby-Sitters Club” returned to Netflix recently with a reboot boasting all levels of woke, including a transgender character played by a 9-year-old transgender actor – a boy presenting himself as a girl[…]

Further exploring LGBT themes, Mary Anne later seeks council [sic] from her friend Dawn, whose father is gay.

Naturally, all this creepy wokeness is peddled under the rubric of nonsensical Queer Theory.

According to Dawn, being transgender is about as natural as being left-handed[…]

Enlightened by Dawn’s woke musings, Mary Anne later takes Bailey to the hospital after he falls ill and lectures the doctors about the cruelties of treating him according to his biological sex. “Bailey is not a boy, and by treating her like one, you are completely ignoring who she is,” she says.

We can only pray that Bailey isn’t suffering from haemophilia, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, or prostate cancer. Or that “she” isn’t being treated for diseases like ovarian cancer or Rett syndrome, which “she” could not possibly have.

Because nature is brutally indifferent to the idiotic theories of predatory Queer Theorists.

But this is far from the only “woke” garbage being force-fed to children. According to Australia’s taxpayer-funded leftist propaganda unit, “racism” is the secular Original Sin that must be purged at the earliest opportunity. White children must be bluntly reminded that they are stained with the sin of “privilege”.

Australian politician Mark Latham responded to the ABC’s latest “rainbow” propaganda, asking, “Do kids need to burden themselves with adult feelings of guilt and revenge?”

As far as the Marxists are concerned, that’s a big, iron-heeled “yes”.

Socialist totalitarians have always had their propaganda “child-heroes”. Bailey merely joins the pantheon of Horst Wessel, Pavlik Morozov, Greta Thunberg and all the other insidious, vicious political voodoo-dollies of dictatorships.

Pavlik Morozov, Horst Wessell, Greta Thunberg…a history of children’s propaganda.
