YouTube content creator Ms. Rachel has made her political agenda quite clear once again. This time, she joined none other than New York City’s new socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani.
Ms. Rachel, whose real name is Rachel Griffin Accurso, went with Mamdani to the District 2-3/Pre-K Center last week, according to ABC Eyewitness News 7 New York. During their time with the toddlers, Accurso and Mamdani sang “Wheels on the Bus” with the children before the actual reason for the visit came out.
“I want to share with all of you that I’m feeling happy because yesterday we announced that New York City is going to deliver universal childcare for every 2-year-old…” Mamdani told the children.
Because why not use children as pawns in a political scheme? That seems to be the precedent now for the socialist agenda.
“Giving makes us so happy, and giving child care makes everyone really happy in our city,” Accurso told the children.
Never has it been more clear: The government is coming for your children, and they will stop at nothing to do so even if it means onboarding the celebrities, cartoons and educational videos and figures that they look up to do so.
This is not the first time Accurso has faced backlash.
As Charisma reported back in 2024, she did a controversial Pride Month video where she said, “This month and every month, I celebrate you. I’m so glad you’re here, exactly who you are, to those who are going to comment, they can’t watch the show anymore because of this support, no worries and much love your way.”
What we are witnessing is not merely feel-good sing-alongs or harmless public appearances. It is the steady conditioning of a generation, wrapped in bright colors, catchy songs and smiling faces.
The enemy has always understood the power of early formation. Pharaoh went after the babies. Herod went after the infants. Modern ideology is no different — it simply dresses itself in child-friendly packaging.
Christian parents must recognize that cultural influence is no longer neutral. Screens disciple. Songs catechize. Characters and influencers now carry values, doctrine and worldview. And while many shrug and call it harmless, Jesus Himself warned that whoever leads little ones astray would face severe judgment.
This is why discernment is no longer optional for Christian families. We cannot afford to hand the next generation over to YouTube, TikTok, Netflix, school boards, influencers or politicians and assume the fruit will be righteous. Parents are the first line of defense, and the last. So guard the atmosphere of your home.
Guard the screens.
Guard the songs.
Guard the voices shaping your kids. The world is no longer hiding its intentions.
