Whatch what your kids read

Hello,

This is an e-mail I received from my sister - It really sadens me to see how sick our world is becoming!!

I just wanted to flag you all to a book that my nephew brought home from his school library. He’s in 4th grade and was really enjoying this book. My sister decided to take a look at it and found subtle homosexual hints that became blatant by the end of the book. She said it was well written and would appeal to children. Unfortunately, it would also normalize homosexuality to the young reader. This book is getting rave reviews and is on kids reading sites (as below). She spoke to the principal who was not aware of the contents. It is now, no longer in their library.

It’s a good wake up call to watch what your kids are reading, and get involved in the schools so you know what they are being exposed to.

The book is called The Manny Files by Christian Burch. Besides kids reading lists, it is also listed on homosexual reading lists. Feel free to pass this on to other parents whom may have similar concerns.

I found your website because I was cruising blogs, but I really appreciate this post. I have 3 children who read avidly, and I need to watch for these kinds of subtle hints in their reading materials!

I am a wife, a mother, and a graduate student. I’m currently researching mommy blogs, and I found your blog. I would appreciate your input about why you blog! If you would participate, please visit my blog—http://reflectionsofasheepishlion.blogspot.com—and answer my questions in your comment.

Thank you, and God bless!
