Well, looks like the Sad Puppies have their very own congresscritter. So you see, THIS is what happens when you let children read Heinlein at a formative age. Make 'm read Ursula K. LeGuin, N.K. Jemisin, and Anne Leckie instead.

Heinein is creeeeeeeepy. I read Podkayne of Mars when I was too young to get it, and then Time Enough For Love in high school when I was old enough to get it, and the enthusiastic incest made sure I never picked up another of his books.
