Good Morning All, I opened the local newspaper today to find a story about a group of 20 local middle school parents in Washington Township, NJ who have started a nonprofit group called National Concerned Citizens for Youth. The group plans to campaign nationwide for restricted access by minors to "satanic" material in school libraries and bookstores. The leaders of the group are concerned because they feel that the books, "The Devil's Storybook" and "The Devil: Great Mysteries, Opposing Viewpoints," have some value, but they don't want elementary and middle-schoolers having access to them. Why? Because they contend that one of their sons, a 14 year old middle schooler, was led down the path to satanism and self-mutilation after reading these books. The local district has promised to look into the matter but did not immediately remove the books from the shelves. http://www.app.com/app/story/0,21625,898000,00.html Jo Josephine Dervan, Library Media Specialist Strathmore Elementary School Aberdeen, NJ home:rderva@infionline.net school:jdervan@marsd.k12.nj.us He who has a library and a garden, wants for nothing- Cicero EarthLink: It's your Internet. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=- All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
