    It almost as if education and critical thinking about what one is reading is important.

    That book can be read to children in the context of it being wrong. It can be explained to children why it is wrong and that just because they read something in a book doesn’t mean it’s right.

    What’s better, educating people to think critically, or banning things so they don’t have to think at all?

      I’m sure this will be the reason anyone purchases this book.

      Besides you don’t expose children to Polio to strengthen their immune system, you give them a weakened version. The beautifully illustrated book with arguments which sound logical to children, tons of non-verbal messaging and countless hateful stereotypes is not how you educate children.
