W.H. Sends Nasty Note to Publisher of Coloring Book that Educates Kids About Terror

BELL: “We’re doing this update because ISIS is such an incredibly difficult subject for parents, teachers and educators. I know that the very first book that we made, the ‘We shall never forget 9/11’ book in 2011, was followed up in 2012 by ‘The true faces of evil terror.' Both of these books teach children a difficult subject. But the subject matter itself is difficult, not the books. The books are pretty accurate and fair and just straight across the board about terrorism. So, during our second book that we published, this one, 'The true faces of evil terror,’ -- we got an e-mail from the White House that basically called the books 'trash.' And what our company is trying to do is simple. We’ve talked to a lot of parents, teachers and educators, and people that we talked to, the parents want terrorism to be taught in schools just like you teach anti- bullying, just like you teach nutrition. They want educational subject, they want something to give to their children to explain to them what this terrorism is all about.”
