What We Think

Madeline is a classic, blissfully untouched by current waves of woke ideology. It tells a timeless story with warmth and bravery front and center, no forced representation, no culture-warping revisions, and zero ideological nagging. If only more children’s books kept things this straightforward and delightful.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Madeline focuses on its charming protagonist's adventures without any detectable imposition of modern identity politics. Character traits such as bravery and curiosity are foregrounded, rather than any contemporary ideological framework.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Published in 1939, Madeline presents traditional family structures (even if in a boarding school setting) and upholds classic virtues. There’s no agenda-driven subversion of gender roles or cultural values, the book simply celebrates courage and camaraderie.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no overt ideological preaching or caricatured villainy of dissent in Madeline. The narrative remains refreshingly plural, focusing on universal childhood experiences, without hammering home any worldview.
