Every few years, the folks at Current Affairs—a proudly socialist magazine—decide to remind the world that they really, really hate the Tuttle Twins.
The first time they did it, back in 2020, they ran a wild “review” of our children’s books calling libertarianism “one of the most disgraceful political tendencies in the world.”
We thanked them by making a coupon code out of it—CURRENTAFFAIRS—and promptly set record sales.
Apparently, they still haven’t learned their lesson.
Because this week, Current Affairs launched another 3,000-word broadside, this time against our America’s History textbooks. The author, Rob Larson, calls them “grotesquely sanitized,” “painfully unfunny,” and (I’m quoting) “abjectly reactionary sacks of crap.”
He even says our history lessons are “propaganda for defenseless kids.”
Which is hilarious coming from a socialist.
He called our jokes “Vietnam-level bombardments.” He mocked our illustrations. He even criticized the racial diversity of our characters because they didn’t match his preferred narrative.
But buried in all that rage is something telling: he’s furious that we teach kids that freedom works.
He sneers at “gains from trade” and “voluntary exchange,” ignoring that these ideas have lifted billions of people from poverty. He accuses us of “whitewashing” history while conveniently skipping over the socialist gulags and genocides that murdered millions in the name of equality.
It’s the same old story—socialists accuse others of propaganda while peddling their own.
They decry “our history”, yet their own lens warps everything into a myth of noble state as savior and tyrannical markets as oppressor. Meanwhile, we teach children to think freely, question authority, and build prosperity through ingenuity—not bow to bureaucratic overlords promising paradise via plunder
If that’s what triggers them, I’m happy to keep doing it.
Because every time these critics attack us, it tells me one thing: we’re making an impact.
If a socialist magazine feels the need to write a 3,000-word tantrum about a children’s book series, it means we’re winning hearts and minds where it matters most—among the rising generation.
And while they rage, more and more families are waking up.
They’re realizing that public schools are flooded with one-sided ideology, that history is being rewritten to fit political agendas, and most importantly, that their kids deserve better.
That’s exactly why the Tuttle Twins exist—to give parents a shield to defend their kids, and a sword to fight back with truth and critical thinking.
So while Current Affairs keeps screaming into the void, we’ll keep doing what we do best: helping parents raise free thinkers who aren’t afraid to question authority.
Right now, during our Monster Sale, you can get up to 70% off the complete Tuttle Twins History Bundle—including the textbooks, videos, and full curriculum.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the last decade of work, it's that nothing says “we’re over the target” quite like a socialist meltdown. And I for one am thrilled to keep giving them reasons to melt.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are winning.
