The 1971 novel MRS. FRISBY AND THE RATS OF NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien is a #SocialJustice #SocialRevolution #ClimateCrisis #socialist story.
I first read that book 37 years ago, and I just now realized this.

"Research has found that children as young as 6 months old can perceive race-based differences. Limiting content denies children opportunities to learn about themselves, and to relate to other people...."
This is exactly the goal of right-wing conservatives & fascists. They *want* children not to relate to people who are different from them. Makes it easier to control them when they're adults and easier to scapegoat the Other.
