The liberal war on God in our childrens’ Schools
Friends,
There are some Americans who are prepared to fight for our traditions. These brave patriots are the few who dare to stand up for Jesus. These people denounce that which is sinful, and strive for what is right. We call these people Culture Warriors, because we are fighting a very real war against an encroaching tide of liberalism.
Not so long ago, Sam reported on the concerned parents of Fisher Elementary School, Dallas, TX. Their children were being exposed to obscene nudity on an art trip organized by ultra-liberal teacher Sydney McGee.
The parents worked together to get the liberal-arts teacher fired, so she could no longer harm their kids. What better example of parent power do you need? This is proof that the culture war starts at home, and that when we act as one we can make a real difference.
Last year we profiled the good work of Laura Molloy, the Atlanta mom who fights to keep teens safe from the evils of Harry Potter. I’m proud to report that not only did she succeed, but she managed to eliminate this pro-wiccan text-book of the occult from her entire district.
Could reading a Harry Potter book lead to demonic possession? We cannot be 100% sure, but shouldn’t we err on the side of caution? The safest thing to do is eliminate these books from our kid’s libraries.
Would you have the courage to do what Laura did? Thanks to Laura, hundreds of kids in Atlanta will be going to heaven, who might otherwise be damned because of a book. What could be more important than life after death with God and Jesus Christ? Thats the greatest gift we can give to any child.
Laura wrote in to thank Shelley the Republican, and all our readers. Your donations and prayers helped ban these evil books from Atlanta kids’ libraries. Laura is an inspiration to conservatives everywhere in the USA, simply because she was brave enough to take a stand against ultra-liberalism.
Today I’d like to introduce a new soldier in the never-ending battle against sin. Like Laura Molloy, Texas Dad Alton Vern is concerned by the texts set by his daughter’s English classes. In particular, she was asked to read ?Fahrenheit 451? by Science-fiction author, atheist and malcontent Ray Bradbury. His daughter Dianne, aged fourteen complained that she was offended by “the cussing in it and the graphic description of burning a Holy Bible.”
Why would a school board knowingly set a text which includes cussing and controversial issues? We at STR.com believe that impressionable teens should be protected from this kind of harmful material.
We askede Vern why the book should not be set as a school text: “With God’s name in vain being in there, that’s the number one reason,” said Diana’s father Alton Verm. “There’s no reason for it being read”.
We at STR.com agree 100%, why on earth would a school assign a text like Fahrenheit 451 to impressionable kids? What on God’s earth are young Americans supposed to learn from a book which suggests that kids should burn the Holy Bible? We at STR.com believe that it’s not the Bible which should be burnt, but the all the godless literature such as Fahrenheit 451 and Harry Potter!
Not only is Farenheit 419 offensive to God, it is also offensive to firemen, the brave people who defended New York on 9/11. In this book, the firemen are employed to set fire to the Bible. This is nothing short of slander! Please explain why liberals are content to keep hurting the brave people who defend America from terrorism?
If the Conroe School committee have any sense, they will remove this hellish book from their kid’s library immediately. Lets hope they use this opportunity to take a stand against literary sin.
STR Action Alert:
- Check your local school library for unchristian books. Most churches keep a list of evil books to be avoided, however you can look out for “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley, “The Catcher in the Rye” by J. D. Salinger, “Catch 22” by Josephh Heller, “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller, “Huckleberry Finn” by Mark Twain, “1984” and by George Orwell. All of these books are gravely offensive and should not be read… ever!
Many blue-state school libraries do not stock the “Left Behind Books” by Tim LaHaye. These thrilling stories are guaranteed to be Biblically accurate and present the reader with important moral and scriptural lessons. No wonder these are the President’s favorite books. Why on earth do we need Fahrenheit 411 when we can read the superior “Left Behind”?
- The world abounds with great Christian literature. If your school’s library does not stock the Left Behind Series by Tim LaHaye, please inform your school’s librarian. Your church could offer to donate the complete set.
- Finally, if you see a child or an adult reading a book which is offensive to God, interrupt them and explain that their choice of book is not mere ‘entertainment’ but a fast-track to Hell. Offer to exchange their book for a copy of the Bible. Tell the ‘reader’ about all the great stories (e.g. Noah’s Ark).
Yours in Christ,
Tristan J. Shuddery

the path to enlightenment:
step 1: learn how to read
unless you have the bible read to you, you mastered this step, congratulations
step 2: expand your mind
like parachutes, minds work best when open… reading alone is not enough, you need to learn how to understand what you read …you may not accept with what you read, but you need to understand it in order for your mind to expand …every book is sacred in its own right, even if its full of rubbish

also, your first pic, the one about “demons reading harry potter” is actually fan art about Gargoyles, the only decent thing Disney ever produced without 3D …maybe you can’t read after all
Fist of all get the facts right: it’s Laura MALLORY not MOLLOY.
The dystopian novels you mention earlier do not promote the world they describe, instead they warn against it, in case you are dumb enough not to see that. They teach an important lesson and should be taught.
Thank you Tristan,
Once again you spread light in the darkness!
Do you know the most disgusting thing about ‘Faherenheit 522′ and ‘1984′ is the way liberals regard them as containing some kind of message and teaching? Aside from the fact that they are foul, it’s just plain wrong. As every Christian must know, taking a message from any book other than the Bible (KJV) is blasphemy and idolatory. And yet liberals still try to force these screeds on our innocent children!
Well done Laura!
By the way, I’m sure I don’t need to point out the influence of that Fahrenheit book on Michael Moore… if he’s the example of a pupil of that book I really do fear for our children.
I’m going down to WalMart now to buy some Tim LaHaye books. They sound like a right (!) riveting read.
SHUT UP ALREADY!
This is just madness. Banning books is like killing flowers! Just wrong. I believe children should be allowed to read and see whatever they want. They will soon enough anyway, so why not now.
by the way tristan, i tried to read the Bible, but it was too boring!
It’s funny, you know, that the whole POINT of Fahrenheit 451 was that it was WRONG to burn Bibles and other books.
You are right Sam, many people think Farenheit and 1984 are educative books. They tell what the world SHOULDN’T be.
The main point behind most of science fiction book (except entertainment), is to show how the world may evolve from this day, and to let the reader think about it, letting him decide if it is right or wrong. Of course the STR crew can’t think without their pastor’s autorisation so I admit it’s a bit difficult to understand.
Great article!!
Keep up the good work.

Censorship is wrong. Why not publishe my article as written?
Like I said devilishly funny work!!
Strange that you have something agains 1984 by Orwell.. Geroge W. must know it, since he does act exactly as “the party”.. Is it so hard to cope with your own “agenda” (just to use one of your favourite words..)? Or is it just that you don’t want to open your eyes and see how wrong you are?
…do it to Julia!
You cannot legislate religion. They did that in Europe in the Middle Ages and there was widespread recession - no developments in anything except disease for a thousand years.
Besides, I like The Crucible. It reminds me of you.
By the way, I?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥m sure I don?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥t need to point out the influence of that Fahrenheit book on Michael Moore?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?Ǭ? if he?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s the example of a pupil of that book I really do fear for our children.
Oh, I get it! Because they have the same name! Of course, its so obvious! What a clear connection.
I freaking love you, Sam.
What do you mean they have the same name THJ? I’m referring to the fact that the book with its dreadful liberal lies and attacks on true faith was a such a great influence on that fat enemy of truth michael moore that he even named his film after it.
And what is freaking love? I hope you aren’t trying to put your penis in my face!
Catch 22, The Crucible, 1984, hey i have read all these books!!!! whats the problem??? its a step up from tom clancy, but i think even tom clancy might be out of reach for yourselves
I read F451 in jr. high. I didn’t recall any noticable instances of profanity or bible burning. This article is FUD.
Huck Finn? Read that in high school, we were even given an alternative. The books use of the word “Nigger” is realistic. Many of the characters didn’t intentionally use the word in its racist context. What do you have against Twain anyways, he is one of the biggest criticizers of the French, here are a few quotes of the things MT has said:
“There is nothing lower than the human race, except the French”
“France has been mostly governed by prostitutes”
Though his views on religion aren’t what you would call “orthodox”, he’s quite conservative.
What do you mean they have the same name THJ? I?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥m referring to the fact that the book with its dreadful liberal lies and attacks on true faith was a such a great influence on that fat enemy of truth michael moore that he even named his film after it.
I was poking fun at your one-track mind - The way it flicks from irrelevant thing to irrelevant thing like an underpowered pinball machine.
I’ll tell you what though, I don’t like Michael Moore either. that’s the one thing we have in common.
And what is freaking love? I hope you aren?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥t trying to put your penis in my face!

Great article, after reading it many people will read this books . I havent read one of them, so thanks for recommendation.
And you shouldnt change numbers in fahrenheit 451 so much, God doesn’t like that kind of thing!!!!???!!
is this serious man, i hope don?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥t, i know another evil and satanic Story is call ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?winnie pooh?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?;
Turky banned it because of the pig ;)
To ban books simply teaches that ignorance is bliss. Not knowing is innocence, but the refusal to at least listen to a new idea is stupidity.
If the girl had read Farenheit 451, maybe she would have seen that the city that Montag lived in was sick with oppression and completely unaware. Was his wife happy? No, she lived her life shallowly because it was all she knew. And she attempted suicide. No appreciation for her life or anyone else’s. Her friends, and everyone else, lived just as shallowly. It wasn’t solely that the city refused the citizens’ rights to read books that caused them to be this way, but do you think that maybe if they had other things to think about other than the mindless crap on TV, life would have been a little nicer? Diversity in the city was frowned upon. The girl in the beginning, who openly expressed her eccentric behavior and her differences, was killed. No one cared.
I don’t want to live in a society like that. Not that some aren’t already this way…
As someone a few comments up mentioned, anyone notice that, between the article and comments here, they’re batting .250 on getting the number in Farenheit 451 correct?
you. scare. me.
Yes! Another amazing article STR.com! I might add that I read Fahrenheit 451, and I have to say I agree with you! Let’s ban this terrible book about the banning of Books! Actually I’ve read 1984, too. I also agree, lets ban and control these evil books, after all they are Double Plus Ungood.
Is that some kind of teen street-slang? “Double Plus Ungood”
I generally eschew the language of younger people, but in this case it really does describe how bad these books are.
Tristan, “double plus ungood” is a term used in “1984″. The book describe a world where, thanks to education, people are brainwashed into simplistic thinking, and this is achieved by simplifying the vocabulary: in this example, all positive adjectives (nice, well, good, admirable, great, etc…) are simply replaced by “good”. Likewise, all the negatives one are “ungood”. With eventually a “plus” or a “double plus” if it’s really good or “ungood”. Therefore, as people lacks the means to express their ideas, rebellion is impossible.
Congratulations, Tristan, you just proved that you condemned a book without reading it.
Why should I read a book where they burn bibles, Godless French? First they burn books, than people.
negative you burn people with bombs and other flammable devices
under clan law the United States would be annihilated for illegal methods of fighting
but then again so would the entire planet
the human race is cowardly
oh well at least the foods alright
Why would a school board knowingly set a text which includes cussing and controversial issues?
Because when a child grows up, it might need experience in controversional issues?
We at STR.com believe that it?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s not the Bible which should be burnt, but the all the godless literature such as Fahrenheit 451 and Harry Potter!
Ah, burning all books which you don?Ǭ¨?Ǭ•t like. Reminds me of the “good old days” (mind the sarcasm) down here in Germany. The 3rd Reich.

Well, like the bible they are telling something that might have happened or might happen. (Still no proof for the bible, you fail to deliver it.)
@godless french: AMEN!
Besides the name, Fahrenheit 451 and Fahrenheit 9/11 have nothing to do with each other.
@Revan: Hey, nothing against Tom Clancy. Yeah, his later books are loosing something (and way to one-sided), but Hunt for Red October was great.
PS: Still no Unit.

IMPEACH BUSH!
Swip, why should you read a book where people burn books and, eventually, Bibles (which are nothing but books)? Because opinions are worthless if you don’t forge them yourself. All I see there is “oh my God, it’s a book where someone burn a Bible”, and I can answer “Yes, but it’s one of the bad guy who does this shameful act” (cause burning a book is shameful, even if it’s not a Bible. You should recycle it instead, it’s better for the environment), but you don’t care about my answer, it’s the fact that the Bible is burnt that shocked you, you can’t look behind that, you can’t ask yourself who did it, and why.
So let me ask: will you ban any (and I said ANY) film where someone murder anyone else (because, you know, you shalt not kill), even if it’s a bad guy doing it?
Proud German said:
“Besides the name, Fahrenheit 451 and Fahrenheit 9/11 have nothing to do with each other.”
actually, the similarity was intentional, as a jab at the Bush government and its similarity to the regime in F-451 …another version of this was out in 1982 …made popular by the more recent film, V for Vendetta
a liberal Buddhist European Gentoo Linux user
You want to ban 1984 by George Orwell? It happens to be one of the Bush regime’s instruction manuals along with Mein Kampf & the Communist Manifesto!
The concept of a “Rapture” was invented in the 19th century by John Nelson Darby! It’s an unscriptural heresy! If you’re going to burn books,throw the “Left Behind” books on the fire while you’re at it! You’re not going to be “Raptured away” & miss out on the nuclear Armageddon & the emerging police state of the New World Order that the Bush crime family is helping to rush into completion!
Yes, a Bible is burnt in Fahrenheit 451, as well as many other good and worthwhile books. The destruction of any literature and the oppresion of thought are shamefull acts. This book paints a cautionary picture of a future you wouldn’t want to live in, of course it’s not going to be all puppies and roses.
I can’t help but notice how close the name of the article’s writer- Tristan J. Shuddery- is to Tristram Shandy, author of the greatest ‘cock and bull’ story known to man. Surely a coincedence, but it strikes me as funny because Tristan seems to have Tristram well beaten on the bull front.
your an idiot and have no idea what you are talking about
Fahrenheit 451 was about censorship, and it criticized the people that wanted books censored. Perhaps if that parent bothered to read it they would understand that. In the movie even a copy of Mein Kampf got burned….as ALL books got burned.
I’m not sure how censorship of literature became a conservative cause, but its a tad off kilter. Osama Bin Laden also wants to restrict what your read. Strange bedfellows on that subject.
How could you call yourself a conservative? It sounds more like facsism to me: controlling book averting the mind from burning books and a controling society. It looks like someone did their homework on how to take over the world. Farenheit “522″ is about how burning books (including the Bible) will bring down society. Once you read it, bite your tounge and get a real job!
btw (eschewed teen lingo for “by the way”)
I love the idea of burning books, it might keep us warm in the winter…
I can’t believe such an ignorant screwhead such as yourself ever figured out how to use a computer. I also can’t believe this is even a discussion. As soon as you start banning books you start breeding ignorance.
Would you rather we all descended into the dark ages? Would you like it if we all practiced medicine and religeon like it was 1500? Our world is the way it is because human nature drives it to learn and press against it’s boundries. When you try to force it down by banning free thought you’ll end up destroying the very fabric of humanity.
Wake up people! The United States is founded on FREEDOM of religeon as one of it’s PILLARS! Just because a book/movie/song/artwork denounces your religeon doesn’t mean it should be banned. Every one of them is a piece of someone. It’s something on which they worked long and hard, so that they could pass on a part of themselves. Stop and appreciate that. Go to a museum, read every book you can get your hands on. Find out what you like and explore that instead of being such close minded apes.
If you don’t want to read a book, fine. Don’t. Impede my right to read what I want to read and you and I are going to have problems, because you’re fighting freedom. I fight FOR freedom.

Is this article a parody? It seems like a “christian right” blogger writing about how we should ban books with anti-brain washing messages would be satire. Basically playing off of the stereotype of mindless drones who don’t think for themselves and blindly follow authority (who clearly is misleading and simply using them, but they’ve become such mindless “sheep” that they don’t see). I hope you’re joking, but I kind of doubt it. If you hold “beliefs” that can’t stand up to any opposition at all, then that’s not real “faith.” See you in Hell.
Thanks guys. You really steered me in the right direction there. guess I’ll go burn every book in the house and read the bible.
*2 hours later*
Goddamit, that was the like the worst book I ever read. *slams face into wall*
this piece on banning fahrenheit 451 is really frightening. if people think we should be banning books for what they contain, we should’ve just handed the country over to the nazis. i say ban the bible, if it brainwashes people this badly.
amen to that chris i say ban that bitch lol. XD
