Another call to engage the enemy

Dear Laigle’s Forum Reader,

I have another job for you. I know, I know. You have recently signed the Prague Declaration and the petition to Czech President Vaclav Klaus and you may be wondering when this will every stop. The answer is, briefly, never. The spiritual war that we are engaged in never does stop. It only seems to stop at times. Many Americans thought they had fought their last spiritual battle on the public front when they elected Reagan, or when the Berlin wall came down.

Now that we have the most openly Marxist president by far ever to have besmirched the White House, many of you are waking up and realizing this war is for real and is not going away. On the positive side, the responses to our actions and campaigns are refreshingly positive and enthusiastic — precisely because of this. We recently boosted the signatures on the Prague Declaration by 20% in a few days, even though the first 80% took 18 months (that 80% was without your help).

Unlike in the first term of G.W. Bush, for example, it is abundantly obvious that we need a lot of fixing (we needed it desperately then but most didn’t know it) and it won’t get done without you and me working personally in the ditches. It is a dirty war. And it won’t be fought on a conventional battlefield. It will be fought from your home, at your computer, on your telephone, in your community. With God’s grace it will be won, but not so that you can relax and break out the champagne. Good Americans, good Christians, good people, know when they are under attack and don’t relax for long in a war like this one. Like Gideon’s 300 elite troops, they keep their eye on their weapons and the terrain while drinking, never once letting their guard down.

Now, Laurie Higgins of the Illinois Family Institute has alerted us to a new campaign in the war against the natural traditional family, and it is a mean, dirty and sadistic attack on everything you love, including your children. Scholastic, the text book seller, has decided, under pressure from the anti-American Left, to feature a children’s book that endorses the homosexual lifestyle, calling this trash one of the “best books” for grades 3-5. That’s like the UN calling the atheistic Norway, with its almost complete lack of sexual morality among young people, the best country to live in, or Norway in turn awarding Obama the Nobel Peace prize because they think he may deserve it some day, unless they miss their guess.

At Laurie’s invitation, I wrote a simple email to Scholastic with this text:

Scholastic made a conscious decision to add a book (Luv ya Bunches) to your collection that is part of the war against the natural family, knowing that the average American still believes that the natural family (mother — FEMALE, father – MALE, and children — only two sexes possible) is the best institution by far for rearing children. You spit in our eye and think you can get away with it because you can just call us “homophobes” and thereby make us ashamed that we love youthful innocence! How low your regard for our sense of decency and our intelligence! How insulting to every decent parent in our country. How desperately you need a come-uppance.

Scholastic recommends the homosexuality-promoting book Luv ya Bunches as one of the “best books” for grades 3-5. If the promotion of homosexuality is one of the best things Scholastic can come up with for America’s future, we don’t trust you with our children’s minds. In fact, we think you want to abuse our children and us.

In short, we understand that you have declared war on parents and their children.

We accept the challenge and are organizing a boycott of Scholastic.

Wait, don’t stop here. Call or write or email your school principle, superintendant and school board members and tell them you won’t attend any meetings or functions that promote Scholastic products. Tell them why.

If they say they need to be “inclusive,” then ask them why they are excluding decent people and time-tried traditions that have always worked, in favor of disastrous policies that never have, and a lifestyle on which all successful civilizations have been modelled in favor of lifestyles that can kill. Tell them Scholastic has let you know it wants you excluded. Tell them now you are fighting back and you hope the school they have been chosen to administer is on the right side of this battle, because their choice may well determine the future of their career.

Boycott Scholastic Books

By Laurie Higgins, Director of ISI’s DSA, Illinois Family Institute

The famous — and soon to be infamous — Scholastic Books has decided to include the pro-homosexual book for 9-12 year-olds, Luv Ya Bunches, in its middle school book fairs. This troubling book is already in the Scholastic Book Club catalogue, which is distributed to elementary school children.
Because of the vociferous protests of homosexuals and a petition drive by the pro-homosexual organization Change.org, Scholastic Books has reversed its initial decision to exclude the book from their book fairs. It will now allow Luv Ya Bunches to be included at its middle school book fairs.
According to the Guardian, author Lauren Myracle “who regularly makes the list of the most banned and challenged authors in the US — capitulated on the language, removing words such as ‘geez’, ‘crap’, ’sucks’, and ‘God’, but refused to replace the lesbian parents of her character Milla with a heterosexual couple.” Scholastic Books includes Luv Ya Bunches on it’s “Teacher’s Picks” page as one of the “Best Books” for grades 3-5.
Change.org describes Scholastic Books as “one of the largest education publishers in the world with broad influence over the reading materials of children everywhere. . . .These are the same book fairs that have reach [sic] to millions of schoolchildren nationwide.” Clearly, homosexual activists recognize the potential Scholastic Books has to transform the views of impressionable children.
