A Christian legal organization is raising the alarm about a California charter school who is removing all books from their library that contain Christian content.

The cleansing of Christians from the Springs Charter Schools was exposed by officials with the Pacific Justice Institute.  The school claims to be “Created and operated by parents” and says that “we value parent choice and involvement, using the community as the classroom, fostering a child’s innate creativity, collaborating to achieve goals, building relationships, and personalizing learning.”

A concerned parent first raised the alarm when librarians started removing the book The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom from the shelves.  The librarians said they were ordered to remove anything containing Christian content.

“It is alarming that a school library would attempt to purge books from religious authors. Indeed, some of the greatest literature of Western Civilization comes from people of faith,” PJI President Brad Dacus stated in a press release about the matter. “Are they going to ban the sermons or speeches of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.? What about the Declaration of Independence, which invokes the laws of nature and nature’s God?”

“We are calling on Springs Charter Schools to immediately reverse their ill-conceived and illegal book-banning policy.”
