Goodbye First Amendment: California School Bans Books By Christian Authors

[Plasmaball]

Nobody cares.

"
It seems that some "educators" are engaging in what can only be called a war on Christianity. Citing a report by the Pacific Justice Institute, Truth Revolt said Friday that a charter school in Temecula, California, thumbed its nose at the Constitution and the Supreme Court when it recently targeted and banned Christian-based books from its library. It also singled out books by Christian authors and publishers.

The Pacific Justice Institute said it received a complaint from a parent shocked to see the list of banned reading material. Among the books deemed inappropriate by the school was "The Hiding Place," the well-known account of Holocaust survivor Corrie ten Boom, who hid Jews from the Nazis because of her strong Christian beliefs. Newsbusters said ten Boom's story has "inspired millions." But the school disapproves because it was written by a Christian, and that is simply unacceptable in today's politically-correct environment where evil is rapidly replacing good."

Golly..........did anyone NOT see this coming?

All you good little "Progressives" are now officially "book burners".

Did anyone check out the sources in the article. The first is War on Christianity Examiner.com
It's obviously a Pro-Christian site, full of plots against Christians.

Correct.


Which is why the OP needs to provide objective, documented information from a neutral news source.


Otherwise it's just more of the same lies from the right.

I will be the objective source, in a week when I get home I can take pics of the books distributed to my kids who are in river springs charter school. I have the 1st- 3rd grade books. I will also go to the library and see.

As anyone can see in my profile, I am in temecula.

Sorry, no.


An anonymous source is not 'objective.'


If you do live in the area, however, you are at liberty to locate a reliable, neutral news source, such as a local TV affiliate, and post the link if available.

Only sources from the Liberal Biased Google search engine are viable?

There you have it, eyewitnesses are not credible.

You will get the facts from me, anything else heresy.

The statement from the superintendent admitted the bias. Then justified it.

Keep that LOW IQ crap out of publicly funded schools

clayton gets to dictate that any person who is an, "anonymous source", "is not 'objective.'".

clayton, stereotyping is the behavior of a bigot, most likely you have a bigoted opinion of me and my politics.

clayton, I am the source, a source in the 21st Century reporting on this new technology you might of heard of, its called Social Media.You might even be a member, you know if you join some sort of a message board you could be source, idiot, but in your case, "objective" is a word that would not be associated with you.

clayton, you win, I won't post, only your source is valid, you have censored my testimony, my 1st Amendment Right.

Antares......

The story has been proven to be bullshit. Why won't you apologize? Grow the fuck up.

You're not an 'eyewitness,' you're not a 'reliable source,' you're an anonymous poster on a message board who believes the Google search engine has a 'liberal bias,' confirming the fact that you're a partisan rightist devoid of objectivity, as is the OP.

"springs" charter school, the books that they use are published by Harcourt. I believe I have a choice as to which books I get, I was told by the ES that these books are better as far as starting on your own, I travel for work so I can not help my boys, their first language is Portuguese. I cropped them out of this pic.

I will be home this weekend so I can snap some pics from the social history book, I may even have time to check out the library myself.

I will have to contact my ES and see about going to the Springs school library. The ES is the Educational Specialist that works for the state that I am required by law to see every 20 days. The Liberal's idea of Government not ruling, regulating, interfering, or dictating my private life.

This is, of course, considering the author of this thread, a mentally retarded bullshit propaganda piece.

This is from the School Superintendent:

Springs Charter Schools Superintendent Responds to Query by Pacific Justice Institute

TEMECULA, CA, September 24, 2014 – Kathleen Hermsmeyer, Superintendent of Springs Charter Schools, released the following statement regarding an August 2...2nd query by the Pacific Justice Institute:

“On August 22, Michael Peffer of the Pacific Justice Institute contacted my office at Springs Charter Schools about a conversation that had occurred last summer between a parent of a Springs Charter Schools student and an employee of Springs Charter School, neither of whom were identified. The conversation took place in the Springs Resource Library, which is a warehouse for textbooks we use in our school programs (it is not actually a library, in fact, we have since renamed it the Curriculum Warehouse to eliminate any confusion). Due to the fact that our schools are independent study charter schools, we do not maintain traditional lending libraries. According to the letter, the unidentified Springs employee told the unidentified parent that he/she was instructed to “remove all books with a Christian message, authored by Christians, or published by a Christian publishing company.”
At Springs Charter Schools, we’re pleased to welcome families of a variety of religious backgrounds, including many Christians, and do not discriminate against or disparage anyone because of their religious beliefs. We can and do provide educational novels with religious perspectives, including Corrie ten Boom’s The Hiding Place. However, like every other public school in the State of California, we cannot legally maintain religious textbooks on our warehouse shelves for distribution to our families. Donated items are made available to our families at no cost. Any and all donated items are not incorporated onto the shelves of our Curriculum Warehouse. The only materials we maintain on the shelves of our Curriculum Warehouse are items we have purchased ourselves in accordance with the laws of our State.
We regret that our policy has been perceived by some as hostility toward a particular religious perspective. It is not. We value all of our families and respect their personal beliefs, and each day strive to give our students a quality public school education in accordance with the laws of our State.”

Springs Charter Schools are tuition-free, public schools of choice serving more than 6,000 California school children and their parents. Many Springs parents choose to homeschool full-time, while others choose two to five days per week of a blended model that includes classroom instruction with home study. Springs serves students with 14 student centers in the Counties of Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Orange and Los Angeles. Springs Charter Schools’ administrative offices are located at 43466 Business Park Drive, Temecula, CA 92590. Phone: (951) 252-8800. Website: www.springscharterschools.org.

And now, as usual, the resident RWnuts will happily plow forward as if this nonsense has not been debunked.
