Dear Parents,
I am writing today with grave concern about several so-called “classic” children’s books that have infiltrated our libraries and classrooms. Beneath their colorful covers lie dangerous messages meant to indoctrinate our children into radical ideologies, immoral lifestyles, and even witchcraft.
Please read carefully and stand with me in demanding that these books be banned immediately.
1. Clifford the Big Red Dog
Clifford is not just big; he is red, and that is no coincidence. This book is communist propaganda for toddlers. Clifford’s unnatural size represents the bloated, all-consuming power of the socialist state. He “helps everyone equally,” leeches off the community’s generosity, and grows relentlessly, just like a government that refuses to stop expanding. Clifford teaches children that dependence on a giant, benevolent authority figure is virtuous. This is how communism always starts – with a wagging tail and a smile.
2. Frog and Toad
Let’s stop pretending this is a story about friendship. Frog and Toad is a shameless attempt to normalize homosexual relationships for children. These two male amphibians live together, share clothes, and pour their little amphibian hearts out to each other, yet they never mention wives, families, or even other friends. This book is sending the message that traditional gender roles and morals are outdated, and that same-sex domestic partnerships are not just normal but adorable. Parents, this is indoctrination wrapped in the skin of a toad and marketed as “wholesome.”
3. Madeline
This book is pure pro-vaccination propaganda. The story glorifies hospitalization and celebrates medical procedures as heroic acts. Madeline’s famous appendix surgery is portrayed as a joyful event, and her teacher, Miss Clavel, praises the doctors without raising a single question or concern. The message to our children is clear: trust the system, don’t ask questions, and smile while they inject you. Madeline is a recruitment poster for Big Pharma dressed up as a bedtime story.
4. Goodnight Moon
Do not be deceived by this quiet little rhyme. Goodnight Moon is a guidebook to lunar paganism and witchcraft rituals. The repeated incanting “goodnight” to inanimate objects mirrors the structure of occult ceremonies. The old lady whispering “hush” acts as a spiritual guide, teaching the child to honor the moon – a clear symbol of pagan deities – instead of God. By personifying the stars, the air, and even the furniture, the book invites children to worship idols. This is not a bedtime story. It is a midnight invocation.
Parents, the time to act is now.
For faith, family, and freedom,
