   Setting up a child them is usually easy. This is super weird. I've never seen this happen before.

   I have installed the wp-bootstrap theme and put the following in my child theme's stylesheet

   /*
   Theme Name: Ctoon
   Theme URI: georgespake.com/ctoon
   Description: child theme
   Author: George
   Author URI: your-URI
   Template: wordpress-bootstrap
   Version: 1
   .
   General comments/License Statement if any.
   .
   */
   @import url(../wordpress-bootstrap/library/css/bootstrap.css);
   @import url(../wordpress-bootstrap/style.css);
   
   div.gs_testing h1{
   	background:red !important;
   }

   I activated the child theme but no matter how specific my css was, I couldn't override anything. Then I realized that my stylesheet wasn't being called in the source at all.

   See for your self.. It's supposed to be /ctoon/style.css

   georgespake.com/ctoon

   You're missing the quotation marks in the @import lines - see:

   Those aren't really necessary and adding them has no effect but I went ahead and added them anyway. The problem I'm having is that my stylesheet is not being loaded in to the page at all.

   For the record, I'm using this in a twenty twelve child theme and it's working fine.

   /*
   Theme Name: GS
   Theme URI: georgespake.com
   Description: child theme
   Author: George
   Author URI: georgespake.com
   Template: twentytwelve
   Version: 1
   .
   General comments/License Statement if any.
   .
   */
   @import url(../twentytwelve/style.css);
