The fixation on Ms Rachel in a left magazine means that her advocacy for Palestinian children had to be addressed. It did fine in summarizing this, but gave up on tying her activism to the theme of the piece (that iPads are replacing books? That kid’s media should be better??)

The obvious response to the author is: If you want your children to only have good art, and you think Ms Rachel is trash, why are you not simply turning it off? This objection is not handled, except by mentioning some families can’t afford child care.

soo this is a personal essay by a professional book critic who is terrified that the existence of inferior children’s media means her kids will never love literature. The structure is sloppy, NO studies are cited, and she is really really really irritated by Ms Rachel
