This program comes as a stern warning! As children around the nation are preparing to go back into the classroom, this Crosstalk was broadcast to alert you that schools nationwide are carrying books with graphic sexual content. These books have worked their way into classrooms along with both school and public libraries. By design, these books are falling into the hands of children for the purpose of grooming them under the guise of education. Karen England is engaged in launching a new, nationwide initiative that is focused on helping citizens challenge these sexually explicit books in public school libraries. She is president of the Capitol Resource Institute. They are a pro-family public policy organization with a focus on education, religious freedom, parental rights, and life. They educate and strengthen families and engage in public policy. Karen is also founder of the initiative, Take Back the Classroom. Karen noted that this problem is far and wide, with red states often being the worst ones. Her organization has found over 1.4 million sexually explicit books across the nation. One in particular is in over 7,000 school districts. Hear the names of some of these books and learn what you can do to make a difference! More Information: TakeBackTheClassroom.com
