LETTER: We shouldn' be promoting evil at our schools
Recently, I attended a “book fair” at a middle school in Walton County. I was amazed at what I saw.
There were two sections dedicated to witches, demons, vampires (the more recent trend of “sensual” ones), horror books, etc. All things of darkness. And we wonder why our kids are androgynous and confused about who they are.
There was not one book that promoted Christianity, or even Christian fiction. There were no other books, either, on what others may regard as peaceful religions.
I found the Holy Bible and the Quran right next to Homer’s “Odyssey” in the mythology section.
It’s OK to promote evil and things satanic for entertainment purposes and sell them to kids, but we can’t sell a kid the Book of Gospels at the same book fair. What’s the matter with this picture?
