Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

To the Editor:     
The second week of April is National Library Week and is a good time to remember the service the Elizabethton Public Library provides to the community. Their staff has helped me in using the copier and in sending faxes. I had been getting my books at Lifeway Christian Stores in Johnson City, but sadly they closed down all their stores. The Bible makes the list of books most challenged at public libraries and public school libraries throughout America. The Bible is what all evil people and governments have tried through the ages to censor or ban. 
Not all public libraries are the same. Sadly according to www.christianheadlines.com parents and Christian groups have protested, but some public libraries and public school libraries continue to push the Drag Queen Story Hour for children. Christians don’t believe that Drag Queens make good role models and shouldn’t be allowed to read to children. 
Geoffrey Grider, www.nowtheendbegins.com said, “the repelling and repugnant “Drag Queen Story Hour” brings confusion and perversion to children across America.” Though some psychologists don’t believe such behavior is abnormal, the Bible says dressing as the opposite sex is wrong. God calls it an abomination in Deuteronomy 22:5, “A woman shall not wear man’s clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman’s clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.” One of the Houston, Texas Drag Queens readers was found to be a registered sex offender and not allowed to read after protest. The Lansdale, Pennsylvania Drag Queen Story Fun Time featured a Drag Queen who asked the children to call him “Annie Christ” -a play-on-words of “anti-Christ.”
Parents need to know what their children are reading to ensure they aren’t being indoctrinated or reading wicked or worthless books or articles. Some children’s books promote homosexuality. Some homosexual children’s books such as, “Jack and Jim,” “And Tango makes Three” “King & King” and “Heather has Two Mommies” are available and being checked out at most public libraries. Take children to church, read Bible stories to children and take them to Vacation Bible School this summer. A pastor said make sure you keep yourself and your children’s face in the book- Bible and not on Facebook. In Psalms 101, King David said, “I will set no wicked(worthless) thing before mine eyes.” President John Adams correctly said, “The Bible is the best book in the world. it contains more than all the libraries I have seen!”
