there has been for years a change in the way history was/ is portrait in textbooks and ” modern ” childrens books. some of the history has been altered . the intent is , to root out christian thought , morals , and references and examples to either of those . into the void come marilyn monroe getting more coverage in a student textbook than abraham lincoln — just as an example .
i have been keeping up with european news and lately there have been quite a few references to roman catholic bishops denying the holocaust . i have also heard rumors that there are people here in the US doing the same thing .
IF the powers that be do not get their way with rewriting the history to their liking , the next best step would be to totally eliminate it from the conciousness by removing all references to it .
by eliminating books that teach character values , right from wrong , beautiful written language . accurately portrait history and replacing them with WHAT ???????

if kids loose the good books , what do you think they’ll do in their free time ??? watch TV and play video games ….. is that an acceptable , nuturing alternative for an impressionable mind ??

somehow i have the desire to get muchies and go read a book ….. and loose myself in a story of knights and fair maidens …. or read to the next generation the story of wynken , blyken and nod …..

The above clarifies that ordinary books are not subject to ASTM F963 or Sec. 108. All products intended primarily for children under 12, including ordinary books, are still 100% subject to CPSIA Sec. 101, lead content (unless exempted).

On older books, however, see the CPSC guidance to resellers linked in this post.
