So much kid's media is so vague about what cops do. It's always something like "I'm here when you need help" like I saw in a recent Sesame Street episode that was about vehicles.
I can't imagine it takes long for kids to see through it. Especially with stuff like Uvalde happening
What would it take to become a leftist children's book writer?
As long as the target audience is under 5 and the narrative uses the 500 most basic words in the language, you can sneak in a lot of lefty narratives without the publisher noticing. Reactionary parents on the other hand will not miss the opportunity to hold a book burning.
