THIS kind of thing makes all Christians sick, but it has begun to become an all-too-common scene in school boards meeting rooms all across this nation. Ever since the demoncrats took office, the atheistic, queer marriage radical agenda is being forced down America's throat!

School board rejects call to ban books on gays, atheism

The Palm Beach County School Board refused to pull 80 books referencing homosexuality, atheism and abortion from the library shelves of two high schools.

But the mother fighting since September to ban them refuses to give up.

Laura Lopez said she will start a church-to-church petition and reach out to a Christian law center to represent her. "To me, it doesn't end here. This is just the beginning," said the West Palm Beach mom.

Lopez had 15 minutes to make her case during a school board workshop. She listed a litany of sins that she says are promoted by books she found doing a simple key word search on the library computers at Dreyfoos School of the Arts and Royal Palm Beach High School. She acknowledged she hadn't read a single one of the books cover-to-cover.

Among the objectionable books were: Medical Ethics: Moral and Legal Conflicts in Health Care, Coping When a Parent is Gay and The Cider House Rules, a John Irving novel about a rural doctor who runs an orphanage and performs illegal abortions.

She also expanded her objections to include the curriculum taught in schools.

"They're teaching kids the Big Bang. They're teaching kids lies," she told the board. "The world was created 6,000 years ago. In my son's elementary school book, it says the world was created several million years ago."

Board members found no grounds to support her.

Board member Monroe Benaim talked about students who struggle with their sexuality or contemplate suicide and might be afraid to talk to someone but could find some solace in a library book.

"As a school board member, I'm a school board member to all children whether they are heterosexual or homosexual, pregnant or not pregnant and no matter what they believe religiously," he said.

One of Lopez's two teenaged sons, Jesse, a sophomore at Royal Palm Beach, came to support his mother. Her oldest son, whom she did not name, does not agree with his mother's objections to the library books.

Jesse Lopez said he worries about his fellow classmates who turn to friends for information, who may consult books full of lies. "If their friends rely on them and if those books are teaching evil, that's just corrupt," he said.

Despite the controversial topic, Lopez's hearing drew only a few people to the daytime board workshop. She brought a friend and a youth pastor. Two members of the Atheists of Broward County also came, but did not testify.

"If you don't like a book, walk to the next aisle and find a different one," Ken Loukinen, president of the atheist organization, said after the meeting.

I can't wait for the day when that atheist wad of filth and all his fellow travelers are forced to their knees in front of our sweet Savior Jesus Christ. Praise JESUS!

Eighty books?! How could there be eighty books about sodomy and atheism? What's to say? Why, Freehold County Library doesn't even have eighty books in its entire stock, and look how spacious it is:



(The KJV-Brary on Main Street is a bit bigger.)

Can you believe this? Public schools are teaching children that God created the Earth millions of years ago instead of 6,000! Sick stuff, really.
