Known for his pull-no-punches hardcore conservative
rhetoric, Bill O'Reilly has made a name for himself in the
world of politics through his popular news show, The
O'Reilly Factor, as well as in his bestselling books. In
2005, The O'Reilly Factor for Kids, his first book
specifically geared towards children, soared to the #1
spot as the bestselling nonfiction title for kids. This
year, he is back with his follow-up release titled KIDS
ARE AMERICANS TOO co-written with Charles Flowers.
With their down-to-earth dialogue that is
appealing to the younger generation, O'Reilly and Flowers
take us on a journey through the judicial system from our
forefathers to present day. From court cases to simple
constitutional rights, the how and why often puzzling to
youth is simply laid out so that the reader is able to
make sense of the confusing jargon that literally governs
our country today.
A noteworthy section of the book is their
explanation of the court system and especially their
dissection of the Supreme Court. What is most fascinating
is the spin they put on the relevance of the court's
decisions in relation to the day-to-day occurrences that
affects our lives. Whether we realize it or not, the
appointment of these nine individuals is ultimately one of
the most significant decisions that a president can make
during his term.
Of course, O'Reilly and Flowers dish the scoop
concerning a student's rights in school which alone is
worth the price of the book. What is most interesting is
the rationale behind a school's administrative decisions
when dealing with hot topics such as the right to search a
student's locker. This is important information that not
only students, but also parents need to know.
KIDS ARE AMERICANS TOO is a fresh look at our
complex world told by two men who have their finger on the
pulse of what is happening right now in American. As the
holidays quickly approach, this book should be on the top
of every child's holiday gift list. It's about time we
all learned how our country is really governed.
Four-time #1 bestselling author and veteran television news
journalist Bill O'Reilly has more than 5 million copies of
his books in print to date! His first book for younger fans,
The O'Reilly Factor for Kids, held the honorable distinction
of being the #1 bestselling nonfiction title for kids in
2005 according to Nielsen's The Book Standard.
Back again with a dialogue on rights that will have everyone
talking, O'Reilly and his coauthor Charles Flowers dole out
the kind of blunt, cogent, commonsense commentary you count
on them for. Together they explore timely questions being
debated in and out of courts today including:
* Can a kid wear an antigay T-shirt on campus?
* Does a school newspaper have the right to bad-mouth a
principal?
* Does a mother have the right to eavesdrop on her
daughter's telephone conversations?
Some of the answers will surprise you. Some will empower
you. All of them will make you think.
