No Good Deed Goes Unpunished...

Country singer Dolly Parton has been branded as 'racist, sexist and homophobic' after she recommended a children's book that a woke academic declared to be pushing 'white western values'.

The artist and philanthropist offered the book, Llama Llama Red Pajama, as part of the library of free titles her club periodically mails out to children up to the age of five in an effort to promote literacy.

Given that 'white western values' are clearly dominant in successful countries, why wouldn't they be pushed? What does this idiot think should be pushed instead?  

Jennifer K. Stone's Ph.D. dissertation, titled 'Reading Power With and Through Dolly Parton's Imagination Library (DPIL): A Critical Content Analysis,' asserts that the book selections in the program conform to dominant white western values.

Stone's analysis of the children's book claims that characters with disabilities, LGBTQ+ couples, and non-normative gender identities are erased.

Ah, the same woke nonsense they can get from school and TV. I don't think they're missing out somehow...  

She also critiques the portrayal of values such as individualism, work, single-family homes, physical fitness, and goal-oriented literacy, arguing they privilege a narrow worldview.

One worth acquiring if you want your children to get on in life. Maybe that's the real issue?  

When Matt Fleming of the Orange County Register read the story to his one-year-old daughter he claimed he had 'no idea I was supporting 'white saviorism.''

You aren't.  

Stone's dissertation has sparked controversy, with many parents continuing to support Parton's initiative, which is simply aiming to promote literacy among youngsters.

Another failed acandemic goes down in flames, almost certainly still thinking she's the right one and the parents are wrong...
