Editor's Note:
A trip to any Barnes & Noble or other mainstream bookstores will prove what Bethany Mandel told John Stossel in a recent interview: children's book sections in these stores highlight hardly any conservative heroes. Major publishing companies will not print these books, so children are not exposed to such role models as Thomas Sowell and Margaret Thatcher. To correct this disparity, Mandel has created Heroes of Liberty, a book series that showcases the lives and works of conservatives like Sowell, Amy Coney Barrett, Ronald Reagan, and even John Wayne. Conservatives and classical liberals alike should enthusiastically support this effort so that our children will have access to the inspirational personal stories of a wide variety of influential Americans.
