Reader Jessica went to her daughter’s public elementary school in Wichita, Kansas yesterday for a book fair. What she found was something of a shock to her:


She writes:

They had a whole section of Christian books geared towards children. There were no other books of any other religion at the book fair. It was held in the cafeteria, the money goes to the school, and they were being sold directly to elementary school children.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation has already been notified.
Isn’t it amazing how, in an institution where education ought to be celebrated, some companies are pushing their way in, trying to indoctrinate children who may not know how to tell the difference between fact and fiction?
Seriously, just look at this image (PDF) from Heaven, God’s Promise for Me (click to enlarge):


I hope whoever bought the Christian books picked up that Brain Games one, too. They’re going to need some sort of antidote to counteract all the crazy in the other ones.
