This will reach the kind of people who don’t read TPM. And maybe move some parents who end up having uncomfortable conversations with their kids.
I read this letter on FB earlier - someone said this magazine had a distinctly evangelical Christian bent. Not sure about that, myself, but if it does and that’s the audience, I’m happy someone is telling these people something that might help break through the cognitive dissonance.
Goofus tortures children and separates them from their families. Gallant advocates a rational immigration policy and humane treatment for all migrants. And when it comes to what the current occupant is going there’s a whole lot of things wrong with this picture.
Right wing outrage in 3.2.1…
Good for Highlights and their CEO Kent Johnson, who is clearly Gallant here.
Donald Trump is Goofus.
Any minute now, prezdint Goofus will declare Highlights Magazine an ‘enemy of the state.’
Matt you beat me to it by just a couple seconds! “Goofus and Gallant” was the first thing to come to my mind too. Must be a Pennsylvania thing!
Or generational perhaps. Or it’s something everyone just naturally thinks and it comes down to your buzzer game. 
Now a bunch of angry right-wingers are going to start burning all their copies of Highlights.
They all considered Gallant a “cuck snowflake” anyway.
HIGHLIGHTS is in every DOCTORs office in the country…this is where I first saw it…its a great little publication…no matter which country…its children are their country’s future.
Highlights? Jeez.
[Edit]
This deserves a stronger reaction.
Jeez Louise! He lost Highlights!
Blasting Trump and his admin does not mean a thing to him and the Republican Party.
They really and truly do not care who dies as long as they stay in power.
Until the MSM blasts these immoral subhuman ass holes these deaths of children and others will continue.
When you’ve lost “Highlights”…
Jeezus H Tapdancing KeeRist! What’s it gonna take to make the American People realize what a tragedy we have in the White House…
If losing the nations pre-eminent knitting website and the country’ most beloved children’s magazine in the same week ain’t enough, I don’t know what is.
Is Ivanka Trump hiding in an undisclosed location to avoid answering questions about her monstrous father?? And, what about Melania Trump’s campaign against bullying and her Be Best initiative?? It is all bull shit!!
Can’t wait to see how Sesame Street chimes in…
In other words, Gallant thinks Pres. Goofus is a Dirty Rotten Turd.
