California School Pulls Book About Christian Family Saving Jews During WWII
Because It’s “Christian-Themed”…
And they didn’t stop there, the school purged the library of any book that is even remotely affiliated with Christianity. Anyone want to bet that no books about Islam have been pulled?
Quote:It’s hard to imagine that any school would have a problem with a book about a Christian family that helped Jews escape the Holocaust.
But Springs Charter Schools in Temecula, Calif., not only had a problem with “The Hiding Place,” they also took issue with any other book that was written by a Christian author or included a Christian message.
“We do not purchase sectarian educational materials and do not allow sectarian materials on our state-authorized lending shelves,” Superintendent Kathleen Hermsmeyer wrote in a letter to attorneys at the Pacific Justice Institute (PJI).
Pacific Justice Institute is representing a parent who discovered what they called a “Christian purging” of the charter school’s library.
“She 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,” read a letter PJI sent to the public charter school. “The attendant advised that the library would no longer be carrying those books. Indeed, our client was told that the library was giving those books away, and she actually took some.”

Students need to protest. That seems to be getting attention in CO.

Torch, did this not at all stand out to you as almost certainly a drastic exaggeration?

School officials can be so incredibly dumb. By seeking to be politically correct and be Constitutional....they practiced government censorship of books based solely on religious content...a no no.
Part of the judgment should be mandatory Constitution classes.

Did the school guard who told a parent he couldn't wear his military uniform into the building seem like a drastic exaggeration? Yes. But it turned out to be true.
I have encountered many dogmatic SJBs, and this frankly seems like their typical MO. That's my experience anyway.

That place needs to go ahead and fall into the Pacific. It'll happen eventually, God will only let evil prevail for so long.

True -- but remember that "for so long" spans roughly from the beginning of human history until the end of human history.

Guess the California schools system will approve something like a Muslim guide to Behead Your Infidel neighbors or Witchcraft: Eat Your Lovers Heart. Californians that are upset with the Socialist Democrat Party need to move out of that state and stop giving Them Your hard earned tax money before it Sinks .

I think a lot of balance would be restored to this country if we just let California leave the Union and show us just how awesome they'd be on their own.

I don't know how this could happen. Temecula is in Conservative country and is home to Darrel Issa. But let's keep that gay agenda in California schools alive and well fed.

Credentialism. SJB have used that to wield all sorts of administrative influence.

Springs Charter School are not just limited to Temecula.
Quote:No two charter schools are alike. And Springs Charter Schools is one of the most unique charter schools around.
Let us tell you why!
Springs Charter Schools values parent choice. We know a one-size-fits all approach to education doesn’t work. That’s why we’ve created a diverse set of program offerings. Many of our parents choose to Homeschool full-time while others choose two to five days of a blended model which combines classroom instruction with home study.
That means your student can independently direct her learning and still attend classes at any of our 14 student centers located in the counties of Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Orange, and Los Angeles.

Harry potter is also banned in some school for promoting witchcraft.
