    ”The book fair is one of our biggest fundraisers, but unfortunately, we have seen more and more books that promote and support LBGTQ+ views,” the school wrote. “We’re at a crossroads where we share different values and beliefs, especially when it comes to exposing young children to adult topics. Friendswood Christian School is a private institution devoted to creating a complete learning environment for children by incorporating Christian principles into the academic framework. We want to provide an environment where children can hang on to their innocence as long as possible.”

    Hogwash.

    It’s not innocence they care to protect. Knowing that LGBTQIA+ people exist is not corruption, nor is it an exposure of children to something explicitly adult in nature.

    Notably coached, strategic wording there by the school, as well; how to invoke the mental association with pornography and other sexually charged imaginings without necessarily saying so.

      They're creating a complete learning environment by erasing the people they hate. But also, everybody else has to erase them too because they still want to benefit from living in the secular world that they are actively and maliciously erasing. They do enjoy childhood innocence, in that it's much easier to indoctrinate children who are not aware that other choices exist.
