Plenty of stories have emerged in recent months about Ms. Rachel, a YouTube star with a loyal audience of young children.
But her apparent far-left sympathies have attracted more attention than her preschool singalongs.
Most recently, she attracted backlash for a lesson of sorts, but it was for parents, not their kids.
Here’s what Breitbart reported:
The far-left performer posted the segment to her Instagram account, asking “grown-ups” who follow her to “color a paper doll… for the kids at Dilley Immigration Detention Center” and to oversee children doing the same. She went on to show her own son making such a drawing.
ADVERTISEMENT“This is for grown-ups. Grown-ups, it’s great to color still, right?” she said in the condescending, sing-song cadence that is stereotypical of “gentle parenting” influencers.
She encouraged her fans to post their paper doll art with the hashtag “#freefamilies” and to “tag your members of Congress,” pressuring them “to shut down Dilley and end the cruel policy of family detention!”
Her incendiary rhetoric leaves little to the imagination, and quickly became the latest spark for a social media backlash:
This nutjob shouldn't be allowed within 100 yards of children.

If this is for adults why is she still talking like a child? God I hate this woman

Several high-profile social media users have weighed in on the ongoing controversy surrounding Ms. Rachel’s political charged content:
That's why I speak out, Ms. Rachel. But FOR Israel.
FOR America. And For the rule of law. 🇺🇸 https://t.co/iSpgK0Kgrw— Dean Cain (@RealDeanCain) May 20, 2026
Earlier this year, the pro-Palestine children’s influencer landed in hot water after liking a blatantly antisemitic post, as Fox News reported at the time:
Rachel Griffin Accurso, who rose to fame creating educational videos for children, has more than 18.6 million subscribers on YouTube, along with nearly 9 million TikTok followers and close to 5 million on Instagram.
The controversy began after Accurso appeared to like an antisemitic comment under one of her Instagram posts that read, “Free America from the Jews.” A user later noticed the interaction and contacted her via direct message.
ADVERTISEMENT“I would never agree with an antisemitic thing like the comment,” Accurso said during an apology video posted on her TikTok Wednesday.
