One of the odder outbursts of rightwing know-nothingism (this week, anyway) was a flap created by a homeschooling mom in (my home state of) Tennessee, who alleged that the local public school was recruiting kids into Islam, when everybody knows the purpose of public schools is to recruit kids into Southern Baptism.
This is such routine crap that even obsessives like People for the American Way didn't react.
But wait! There's more!
It will not surprise you to learn that obnoxious bigot busybody Patty Kinkead has written and self-published a book for children explaining the Tea Party view of society.
But it will delight you to learn that the Tea Party mascot/recruiter in the story is a squirrel and his mission is to gather nuts.
Perfect.
