I suggest you take your child to a used bookstore with older books that haven’t been rendered horrible. My personal favorite when I was a kid was The Scarlet Pimpernel by the Baroness Orczy or Orkzy.

you're spot-on about the 'salad masters'. I've found two things most common. 1. The logic is OK, but the underlying assumptions are lies. 2. The truth is told, but the logic is absurd.

Those practicing this word 'salad' use those use big words with loaded complexity and gibberish logic -- it all sounds important but means virtually nothing. But as long as you take away their bigotry, you get an 'A' in class.
