some of the greatest literature of Western Civilization comes from people of faith

Liberals hate Western Civilization just as much as the Muslims do.

I am sure that “50 Shades of Grey” is just fine, right? I have NOT read that book. Nor would I.

Do they place non-married authors next to each other?

No books should ever be banned. Even the ones you don’t like. I have zero problem with some requiring parental approval to check out, but schools should not decide which books are “appropriate” for the library except as what may be on the parental list.

But this same school is undoubtedly under orders to celebrate diversity, and look for books by LGBT writers. Or push books such as Heather Has Two Mommies which push homosexuality.

US public educrats have purged God from America’s schools. And we see the results. Christians need to send their children to schools where God is welcome and His blessings are sought by teachers and students in their service to Him and to their society.

A godless education was the foundation of Nazi Germany, the most literate society ever achieved. We know how that turned out.

In 1701, in Branford, CT, Yale University was founded when 10 local pastors donated their books to form the university's core library. How ironic those same books are now "purged."

Google "Yuri Besmenov". The KGB "project" to destroy the values- and religious-based American culture has succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.

“The Hiding Place” - an excellent book. Please read it if you haven’t.

Kathleen Hermsmeyer, the superintendent, is no stranger to controversy. She was fired from her last job, as Executive Director for a different charter school, for “misappropriation of money and conflicts of interest”, then she went to this new charter school.

Three back-to-back articles about it:

http://charterschoolscandals.blogspot.com/2011/05/eagles-peak-charter-school-4000.html

Other reasons cited for Hermsmeyer’s firing included her alleged decisions to:
- Allow a top administrator to earn $64,500 on loans the school took out without board approval.
- Lease a $43,000 sport utility vehicle, albeit partly for school use, an action the board called needlessly excessive.
- Lease a beachfront condominium in Oceanside for two top administrators to supposedly attract quality employees, an action the board called “tantamount to a gift of public funds.”
- Give a “substantial pay raise” to employees last year without board approval and despite the school’s negative operating balance at the time of $655,000, raises the coastal board contends benefited Hermsmeyer as well as her husband and sister, who were also employees.
- Work as a teacher while also working as executive director, and collecting two salaries, “constituting a self-dealing transaction and a violation of the Political Reform Act.”

“was told by one of the library attendants that the library has been instructed to remove all books with a Christian message, authored by Christians, or published by a Christian publishing company.”

We are living in a modern version of the 1920s USSR. The revolution is being pushed into ever corner of our life. A wise person would study the 1930s USSR and be ready to give them an interesting plot twist if they ever decide purges are in order.

Just stop and think a minute about this one statement,.....”banning books authored by Christians”. This isn’t Christian themed books but the author was a believer. First of all, how would you know? If it’s a famous Christian pastor, well everyone would recognize that, but Joe Blow may be the most devout Christian ever, certainly more than Joel Osteen. How would you know by reading the title and author? If Joe Blow writes a novel about a cancer patient coming to know Christ and being cured while in treatment, why is that not the same as an atheist writing about their cure from cancer from mere luck? Then, you just get to the point of anything by Billy Graham pulled and person saved at a Billy Graham meeting left on the shelf just because he isn’t Billy Graham. What a mess. Our Founders were so much wiser than the crew we have today it’s frightening.

Do you need any more proof that the left wants to eliminate Christianity?

None of these will make the liberal American Library Ass’ “banned book week” list.
