Fox News Anchor Julie Banderas joins Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla to shed light on what inspired her to write the new children’s book, A Monumental Mistake.
“This book is about respect, and honestly, I couldn’t find a better time to be talking about respect because right now in this country, I mean, it’s just awful. The adults and the teenagers and the college students, the protests, nobody understands how to respect one another anymore, and I don’t think respect should be an old-fashioned thing. You know, you’re saying, yes, ma’am, no, ma’am, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. But just showing kids how to respect one another, respecting those who came before them, respecting history. I think that that’s been lost. And I think there’s just such a high level of hatred in this country that I believe parents are now putting on their kids and kids are taking it to school. Kids don’t respect one another. They don’t their elders. They don t respect their parents. They talk back to their teachers. It’s disgusting. It’s like an urgent crisis as far as I’m concerned, and if we don’t do something about it fast, the next generation is going to be full of a bunch of brats, which quite frankly that’s what we’ve got going on right now. So I feel like there’s got to be like an emergency intervention to reverse the next generation from becoming even worse. So that’s sort of the point of Monumental Mistake is, you know, just to tell stories to children, it’s the best way to teach a lesson to kids is by telling stories.”
