Product Description:
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.

This book provides a fairly simple and clear explaination of the constitution with examples of how it should work. It describes the history and the thinking behind the creation of the constitution and how it is applied to real life events. The real life cases are from situations that have occurred in schools which children can relate to. I believe this should be read by all kids around 7th grade and up.

Why is it, if my kid truly is an American, that I can submit them to capital punishment (in the form of spankings) without due process? And why are they not allowed to vote? And, if they're really Americans, then why can't they serve in the military and defend their country if they REALLY believe in it so much. Frankely, when this book claims to "empower" children, I think what they omited was "...to be lazy and not exercise the civic duties that come with being a REAL American."

Great book for Kids on being a Citizen. Non-political and great examples of where rights of each individual overlap. I bought 10 copies for the Boy Scouts to read while earning their Citizenship Merit Badges.

In a surprising twist, O'Reilly makes the case that kids - all kids around the world, including kids south of the border and in the Middle East - are Americans and as such, they are entitled to all the associated benefits. He does a wonderful job convincing his conservative fans that kids - even the Taliban kids in the mountains of Afghanistan and the kids being detained in the secret prisons - are all Americans and god bless them. In this beautifully written book, O'Reilly demonstrates a new openness ... Read More

My Grandson loved this book and I can see why. It is written by an educator (O'reilly was a History school teacher) who knows how to explain complex material to children in a simple to understand style. O'reilly also has a Harvard degree and has a quick mind and wit that helps add to the enjoyment. This book, in the hands of a less talented person could be very boring, but it's not...it's great for the children for whom he wrote it!
