Christian parents are being attacked by public schools!
Well, let's look at library books in public schools to see how the Marxists push their queer theory agenda and undermine Christian parents at the same time. We will examine books in these districts' own school library online catalogs. These books are all found in public school libraries in the DFW area.
Remember that if the Marxists want to push their queer theory, abortion agenda, critical race theory, etc. then they must destroy God, religion, and family. Their agendas cannot coexist with God, religion, and family and they know this! As Dennis Prager recently explained, they attack religious extremism, but have you ever heard secular extremism attacked? But, indeed, it is secular extremism that is destroying our society and our country as we speak. Indeed, Marxists fundamentally reject the concept of God and are avowed atheists.
The purpose here is not to debate the morality of homosexuality. The purpose is to acknowledge that some Christian parents might believe that homosexuality is not something they want for their children and to show that public schools are actively undermining their beliefs and acting to turn their children against them. Is it the job of public schools to teach sexuality, morality, and religious beliefs?
Perhaps no other book in public school libraries is more obvious than Queerfully and Wonderfully Made: A Guide for Christian Teens by Leigh Finke. The summary states:
"Are you LGBTQ+? Not sure? Whether you're queer or questioning, understanding sexuality and gender identity can be confusing. And if you're a Christian, questions of identity can be even scarier. Is there something wrong with you? Will your friends accept you? When should you tell your family? What about church?Queerfully and Wonderfully Made: A Guide for LGBTQ+ Christian Teens has answers to all these questions and more. You'll get insight and support from an amazing group of LGBTQ+ professionals, as well as testimonies from young adult queer Christian who've recently been exactly where you are. You'll walk away with a lot of answers, prepared with tools to help. But most importantly, you'll hear the good news: God loves you exactly as you are. No matter your identity or where in your journey of self-discovery you find yourself, you got this."
Now, you might be thinking to yourself, "Hold on! I thought the Marxists were totally opposed to God and religion being talked about or taught in public schools! I thought they wanted separation of church and state!!" Well, apparently, you can talk about God and religion if it undermines Christian parents and divides the generations as teenagers think of their parents as uncool and not understanding them.

Here's another example:
In Heartstopper, Volume 3 by Alice Oseman, the gay teen in the graphic novel tells his parents that he has a boyfriend. The parents are very happy and want to know more about the new boyfriend.
Of course, to the teen reading this graphic novel, the assumption would be that if his or her parents whether Christian or not) did not think a homosexual relationship was lovely or wonderful, then his or her parents are small-minded and they just don't understand. THESE parents in the book are cool. The attempt to divide the generations is obvious.
The God Box by Alex Sanchez is a novel about a gay teen in a Christian family.
The summary states,
"Paul, a religious teen living in a small conservative town, finds his world turned upside down when he meets Manuel--a young man who says he's both Christian and gay, two things that Paul didn't think could coexist in one person. Doesn't the Bible forbid homosexuality? As Paul struggles with Manuel's interpretation of the Bible, thoughts that Paul has long tried to bury begin to surface, and he finds himself re-examining his whole life. This is an unforgettable book on an extremely timely topic that strives to open minds on both ends of the spectrum."
Alex Sanchez's (the author's) website at www.alexsanchez.com describes the book The God Box:
"High-school senior Paul has dated Angie since middle school, and they're good together: they have a lot of the same interests, like singing in their church choir, and being active in Bible club. But when a new boy, Manuel, transfers to their school, Paul has to rethink his life. Manuel is the first openly gay teen anyone in their small town has ever met, and yet he says he's also a committed Christian. Talking to Manuel makes Paul reconsider thoughts he has kept hidden, and listening to Manuel's interpretation of Biblical passages on homosexuality causes Paul to re-evaluate everything he believed. Manuel's outspokenness triggers dramatic consequences at school, culminating in a terrifying situation that leads Paul to take a stand.
Lambda Literary Award-winning author Alex Sanchez tackles a subject ripped from headlines in this exciting and thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be both religious and gay."
So, a gay teenager interprets Biblical passages for Paul and causes Paul to re-evaluate his faith! This Biblical teaching might not be something Christian parents would agree with. Of course, the title of the book insinuates that believing in God puts you in a box unable to be yourself.
The Miseducation of Cameron Post by Emily M. Danforth paints her "conservative" and "old-fashioned" family in a bad light. The Marxists want children to see their parents as old-fashioned and small-minded. This divides the generations and then the Marxists can take over raising the children in their agenda.
"LGBTQ cinema is out in force at Sundance Film Festival," proclaimed USA Today. "The acerbic coming-of-age movie is adapted from Emily M. Danforth's novel, and stars Chloë Grace Moretz as a lesbian teen who is sent to a gay conversion therapy center after she gets caught having sex with her friend on prom night."
The Miseducation of Cameron Post is a stunning and provocative literary debut that was named to numerous best of the year lists."
"When Cameron Post's parents die suddenly in a car crash, her shocking first thought is relief. Relief they'll never know that, hours earlier, she had been kissing a girl.
But that relief doesn't last, and Cam is forced to move in with her conservative aunt Ruth and her well-intentioned but hopelessly old-fashioned grandmother. She knows that from this point on, her life will forever be different. Survival in Miles City, Montana, means blending in and leaving well enough alone, and Cam becomes an expert at both.
Then Coley Talor moves to town. Beautiful, pickup-driving Coley is a perfect cowgirl with the perfect boyfriend to match. She and Cam forge an unexpected and intense friendship, one that seems to leave room for something more to emerge. But just as that starts to seem like a real possibility, Aunt Ruth takes drastic action to "fix" her niece, bringing Cam face-to-face with the cost of denying her true self--even if she's not quite sure who that is."
In Check, Please! Book 2 by Ngozi Ukazu two gay college hockey players negotiate their relationship.
The summary says,
"Bitty is heading to junior year of college and though he has overcome his fear of getting "checked" on the ice, he and Jack now face new challanges. They must nagivate their new relationship while being apart and also decide how they want to reveal their relationship to those around them. Not only that, but Jack and the Falconers are now a big part of the NHL--and Bitty's life! It's a hockey season filled with victories and losses.A collection of the second half of the mega-popular webcomic series of the same name, Check, Please!: Sticks and Scones is the last in a hilarious and stirring two-volume coming-of-age story about hockey, bros, and trying to find yourself during the best four years of your life."
Here, we see how Bitty does tell his mother that he is gay and that she accepts this. The implication again is that parents SHOULD accept it and if they don't then they just don't understand.
Should high schoolers be reading about gay college students and keg parties? Should they be able to check this out of their school library without their parents' knowledge or consent?
Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit by Jaye Robin Brown is about a lesbian teenager whose evangelical father wants her to hide who she is.
"Joanna Gordon has been out and proud for years, but when her popular radio evangelist father remarries and decides to move all three of them from Atlanta to the more conservative Rome, Georgia, he asks Jo to do the impossible: to lie low for the rest of her senior year. And Jo reluctantly agrees.
Although it is (mostly) much easier for Jo to fit in as a straight girl, things get complicated when she meets Mary Carlson, the oh-so-tempting sister of her new friend at school. But Jo couldn't possibly think of breaking her promise to her dad.
Even if she's starting to fall for the girl. Even if there's a chance Mary Carlson might be interested in her, too. Right? "
Again, notice how conservatives and evangelical parents are portrayed as small-minded. They just don't understand kids today!!!
Orpheus Girl: a Novel by Brynne Rebele-Henry is FICTION that further depicts conservatives as small-minded but also abusive and violent. Dallas ISD's own summary of the book states
"In her debut novel, award-winning poet Brynne Rebele-Henry re-imagines the Orpheus myth as a love story between two teenage girls who are sent to conversion therapy after being caught together in an intimate moment.
Abandoned by a single mother she never knew, 16-year-old Raya--obsessed with ancient myths--lives with her grandmother in a small conservative Texas town. For years Raya has fought to hide her feelings for her best friend and true love, Sarah. When the two are outed, they are sent to Friendly Saviors: a re-education camp meant to "fix" them and make them heterosexual. Upon arrival, Raya vows to assume the role of Orpheus, to return to the world of the living with her love--and after she, Sarah, and the other teen residents are subjected to abusive and brutal "treatments" by the staff, Raya only becomes more determined to escape.
In a haunting voice reminiscent of Sylvia Plath and the contemporary lyricism of David Levithan, Brynne Rebele-Henry weaves a powerful inversion of the Orpheus myth informed by the disturbing real-world truths of conversion therapy. Orpheus Girl is a story of dysfunctional families, trauma, first love, heartbreak, and ultimately, the fierce adolescent resilience that has the power to triumph over darkness and ignorance.
CW: There are scenes in this book that depict self-harm, homophobia, transphobia, and violence against LGBTQ characters."
Notice how the lesbian teenager has to "triumph over" the "darkness and ignorance" of conservatives. DISD even has to put a CW (content warning) on this one. If DISD puts a content warning on it, you know it's bad.
The novel Rapture Practice: A True Story by Aaron Hartzler gives the religious theme away with the title. The summary of the book states
"Sometimes salvation is found in the strangest places: a true story.
Aaron Hartzler grew up in a home where he was taught that at any moment the Rapture could happen. That Jesus might come down in the twinkling of an eye and scoop Aaron and his family up to heaven. As a kid, Aaron was thrilled by the idea that every moment of every day might be his last one on planet Earth.
But as Aaron turns sixteen, he finds himself more attached to his earthly life and curious about all the things his family forsakes for the Lord. He begins to realize he doesn't want the Rapture to happen just yet--not before he sees his first movie, stars in the school play, or has his first kiss. Eventually Aaron makes the plunge from conflicted do-gooder to full-fledged teen rebel.
Whether he's sneaking out, making out, or playing hymns with a hangover, Aaron learns a few lessons that can't be found in the Bible. He discovers that the best friends aren't always the ones your mom and dad approve of, and the tricky part about believing is that no one can do it for you.
In this funny and heartfelt coming-of-age memoir, debut author Aaron Hartzler recalls his teenage journey to find the person he is without losing the family that loves him. It's a story about losing your faith and finding your place and your own truth--which is always stranger than fiction."
So, you can see how much better his life becomes after he becomes a "full-fledged teen rebel" and has friends his parents don't approve of. He only finds his own truth when he loses his faith! His "one-way ticket to salvation" was probably not what his religious parents would approve of. This is what teenagers are being encouraged to do: rebel against their religious parents.
In the fictional work The Right and the Real by Joelle Anthony, we see religious and church people as the small-minded people they really are! The summary of the book states
"Seventeen-year-old Jamie should have known from the beginning that something was wrong with the Right and the Real Church, but she was too caught up in her feeling for Josh-a handsome jock and the son of a church elder-to care. She's never had the most stable life, what with a drug-addicted mother and a recovering alcoholic father, but her relationship with Josh may have driven her life completely off the rails. Her father is now a full-blown member of the church, and for refusing to join, Jamie's been kicked out onto the streets. She's even lost Josh-well, sort of. He can't see her in public, but he's definitely willing to sneak around with her-at his convenience, of course.
Heartbroken, and with her life in upheaval, Jamie doesn't know who to trust. When she forms an unlikely friendship with an ex-con, he might just be her saving grace. But then her father finds himself in serious trouble, and she will have to handle that too. Jamie may be ready to rescue him, but will she able to forgive?
Joëlle Anthony delivers another engrossing fast-paced adventure with a sizzling romance and a lot of heart."
Church people kick kids out onto the street for refusing to join their church! Do you see how public schools are painting churches and religious people as bad and causing kids to turn against church?
New Feminist Christianity: Many Voices, Many Views edited by Mary E. Hunt and Diann L Neu teaches teenagers about this new Christianity, and who better to teach them about this new Christianity than a book in the DISD school libraries? The book summary says
Powerful insights from ministers, theologians, activists, leaders, artists and liturgists who are shaping the future.
"Christianity has been a source of the oppression of women, as well as a resource for unleashing women's full humanity. Feminist analysis and practice have recognized this. Feminist Christianity is reshaping religious institutions and religious life in more holistic, inclusive, and justice-focused ways." --from the Introduction
Feminism has brought many changes to Christian religious practice. From inclusive language and imagery about the Divine to an increase in the number of women ministers, Christian worship will never be the same. Yet, even now, there is a lack of substantive structural change in many churches and complacency within denominations.
The contributors to this book are the thought leaders who are shaping, and being shaped by, the emerging directions of feminist Christianity. They speak from across the denominational spectrum, and from the many diverse groups that make up the Christian community as it finds its place in a religiously pluralistic world. Taken together, their voices offer a starting point for building new models of religious life and worship.
Topics covered include feminist:
Theological Visions
Scriptural Insights
Ethical Agendas
Liturgical and Artistic Frontiers
Ministerial Challenges
So when teenagers come home and announce that they are now Feminist Christians and enlighten their parents with "inclusive language and imagery about the Divine" (not God, but "the Divine") and talk about how "Christianity has been the source of oppression of women", parents might not agree with their teens' new religion. And so the divide between the generations begins as well as tearing down tradition and Christianity as well.
The book God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything by Christopher Hitchens does sound a bit biased judging by the title. Let's see what the book summary has to say!
"In the tradition of Bertrand Russell's Why I Am Not a Christian and Sam Harris's recent bestseller, The End of Faith, Christopher Hitchens makes the ultimate case against religion. With a close and erudite reading of the major religious texts, he documents the ways in which religion is a man-made wish, a cause of dangerous sexual repression, and a distortion of our origins in the cosmos. With eloquent clarity, Hitchens frames the argument for a more secular life based on science and reason, in which hell is replaced by the Hubble Telescope's awesome view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give way to the beauty and symmetry of the double helix."
Notice how religion is a "cause of dangerous sexual repression". We certainly don't want high school kids being sexually repressed. How dangerous! But, if you believe that there is no God, why not do everything you feel like doing? There are no consequences!
Also, notice that there is no hell, just the Hubble Telescope. I am sure most Christian parents would not agree with his Biblical interpretations!
In the novel Under Threat, the author's parents are abortion doctors at a local clinic and their daughter says they are heroes. The author's best friend is also a lesbian. (Notice how the Marxists fit several of their agenda items in one book: attack Christianity, promote abortion, and normalize homosexuality.) Christian people who don't accept homosexuality are actually called "bigots" in this book.
These are just SOME of the books in the Dallas ISD school libraries that attack Christianity, Christian families, and Christian parents. To be fair, Dallas ISD school libraries do have such books as God Made You Special, A Book About God, and God Gave Us Love. However, these books are largely found at the elementary level. By high school, the students see the books discussed in this post.
The ultimate goal of the Marxists in this country is to destroy the family, religion, traditions, and morals. Ultimately they want to destroy God so they can push their agendas in America. The Marxists can't push their abortion agenda, for example, if people believe in God and have religious morals and conservative values. If they convince children that they are gay and transgender, where will future nuclear families come from? The Marxists also know that you have to start with indoctrinating the kids. As their hero, Lenin, said:
I encourage you to research the books in your own school libraries. Get informed and get involved!
