Moderator’s note: Don’t let the picture mislead you—read the post. Both the mentioned book and Robert Nagle are anti-racist. Of greater concern to me is whether an e-book version exists. I don’t see a reference to one. – D.R.
From Jeremy Zilber’s self-published children’s book, Mama Voted for Obama (with whimsical illustrations by Greg Bonnell). Zilber (who has a PhD in political science) writes:
While I never conducted any formal surveys of my students, it was clear that most of the politically active ones had been raised by parents who weren’t afraid to talk about politics around their kids. My experiences merely confirmed what researchers have known for decades: children raised in households in which politics is a frequent topic of discussion are most likely to become politically active adults.
