How about don’t ban books just because you don’t like them

It’s not just not liking them. They genuinely feel it is their moral imperative to keep anything they view as “immoral” out of the hands of all kids - not just their own. They can’t understand why people are upset about them trying to do good things “for the children.” They just want kids to be raised with the Truth.

Here’s the thing: As a liberal Christian, I understand the desire for kids to know about Christianity and why I feel it is The Way. The thing is, I don’t want to force it on them. The message of Christianity is one of choice; if you don’t choose to serve God willingly, then the whole thing is pointless. It’s entirely up to kids and their own parents what they can or can’t read, what they do or don’t believe. If my religion fails to make a persuasive case, well, that sounds like a me problem.
