Wow is all I can say. It is so disheartening and a little scary to know that stuff is even out there. This makes me so grateful for the freedom to home school. I don’t mean to knock parents who must send their children to organized school in any way, but I myself could not imagine having to send mine. And if I do have to in the future, because we lose our freedoms, my knees will be quickly worn and calloused from so much prayer.
Children so young are SO impressionable.
I pray more parents will grasp that truth.

Beth: What a wonderful service you have done in writing this article-just to remind us to never let our guard down.
“Satan is a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour” and in this day and time it is so obvious that our children are almost constant targets.
We need to continue to cover our children in prayer! I shudder to think of my children picking up that book-any one of them would have been so embarrassed and disturbed.

It is amazing how smut walks its way into our children’s sections doesn’t it?

I am so glad that you took a stand and brought it to the attention of the library staff. I pray too that they do something about it.

Goodness Beth, thank the Lord he was guarding your children that day!

But personally I don’t find it shocking at all that book was in your library. As a teacher in my state, I will be required to keep a certain number of “s*x education” books in my classroom library, so that my students have the ability to access them. Did I mention I’ll be teaching elementary school, and the books I’ll be required to keep made me blush? Yeah… I’m not sure I’d let a mature highschooler read them.

I’ll also be required to keep children’s literature that shows homosexual families, in order to show that it’s totally normal and okay.

Honestly, most parents probably have no idea that this goes on in their child’s school, but it does. It’s just one more reason why my future children will never attend a public school.

I am always surprised when I hear things like this. I shouldn’t be because it is happening more and more. Sadly, finding good literature that is wholesome is becoming more and more difficult at libraries, but this other stuff is spreading like a disease. You’re right. Our best defense is prayer and teaching our children diligently about the truth.

Wow! Thanks for posting this Beth! How revolting. We love THe Princess Kiss!

Not to mention the other day I was in the CHILDREN’s section of our library and there is a WHOLE bunch of copies of a book written by Oprah??? So, now she is not only reaching our women and men every afternoon on a daily basis, but now our children!
