Trop politiques les contes pour enfants?

Le nouveau papa en moi a tout de suite été attiré par le titre de cet article. Le conte du soir a toujours été un de mes moments préférés et je m'en remettais à mon jugement et à notre encadrement parental au moment de sélectionner certaines histoires et le message qu'elles portent. S'il faut en croire le contenu de cet article, il faudra être beaucoup plus vigilants. Le monde de l'édition des livres pour enfants serait en proie à une petite guerre idéologique. On y décèlerait une plus grande influence du progressisme que du conservatisme.

 "All children’s books are political in the sense that their authors make choices about who to include and who to exclude, which values to promote and which to downplay. But lately there has been a proliferation of books for young children infused with themes that are dear to many political progressives. This year has seen the release of picture books with titles such as Dreamers and W Is for Welcome: A Celebration of America’s Diversity. These are the newest additions to a slate of progressive-minded mid-2010s children’s books such as A Is for Activist (which has sold hundreds of thousands of copies), Stepping Stones (about the journey of a Syrian refugee family, written in English and Arabic), and One of a Kind, Like Me/Único Como Yo (about a boy who wants to dress up as a princess for a school parade). Political biographies for young children are not a novelty, but lately many of them have had a feminist bent, including picture books about Elizabeth Warren, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton (wife of Alexander)."
