'Not An Oversight': Publishers, Libraries Are Scrubbing Christianity Out Of The American Story...

PUBLIC AND PRIVATE LIVES
“Prayer is no longer a way of life. Prayer must be returned to the homes and the churches of the world, and the schools, and the public and private lives of all the children of God, my brothers and sisters. If you pray more, you will learn to love prayer. It will become a way of life that you cannot turn from, for it will give you something that you have never found in the world." – St. Theresa, May 17, 1975

FALL OF AN EMPIRE
"A country is known by the moral values, My children. In the history of your world, if you consult and look, My children, you will find that your country and many in your world are now proceeding along the same course taken before the fall of an empire!" - Our Lady of the Roses, February 10, 1976

WND.com reported on June 23, 2026:

A new study has confirmed that libraries and publishers are working on cleaning Christianity out of the American story.

The study, from publisher Brave Books, was called "The America 250 Faith Gap" and reviewed more than 300 books from 25 reading lists assembled by children's publishers, libraries and others.

Among those so-called "top" books there were no titles directly addressing faith, explained a New York Post report on the results.

Nor were there titles directly addressing religious liberty and Christianity's role in the founding of the U.S.

That's even though the First Amendment deals specifically with religious rights.

There were no titles on the Great Awakening, the faith lives of the Founders, or the black church's role in history.

However, books that were there included Ibram X. Kendi's "Stamped for Kids," Nikole Hannah-Jones's "Born on the Water," a picture book tied to the made-up "1619 Project."

And, the report said, there were books on the lists about transgender activism, the 1969 Stonewall Riots promoting the LGBT lifestyle choices, and sympathetic biographies of pro-transgender Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

There were no equivalent writings about Republicans, the report said.

The report confirmed, "According to Brave Books, the most common themes across the lists were the American Revolution, minority perspectives, black history, civil rights and women's history. Books focused on American symbols, the classics, the Founders and civics made up the minority of the recommendations."

Brave Books assessment was that the agenda behind the lists was to reframe America's story, not celebrate it.

Former HUD Secretary Ben Carson and Outkick host Riley Gaines, both Brave Books authors, unleashed their criticism.

"The Declaration of Independence says our rights come from our Creator," Carson said. "Benjamin Franklin called the Constitutional Convention to prayer before they produced a document that has stood for 250 years. George Washington survived battle after battle in ways that defied all human explanation. These men knew where their strength came from."

The assessment of the study had Brave Books concluding that the exclusion of faith leaves students with a skewed view of U.S. history.

"A generation that does not know where their freedoms come from will not know why those freedoms are worth fighting for," Carson said. "Ronald Reagan said freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. He was not exaggerating. He was being precise. When you raise children on a version of history that calls America complicated and unfinished and never once tell them that this country was founded by men of extraordinary faith and courage who believed they were accountable to God for what they built, you are not educating them. You are making them vulnerable."

Trent Talbot, chief of Brave Books, said, "When reading lists for America's 250th anniversary don't include a single book acknowledging Christianity's role, that's not an oversight. That's a choice."

"The judgment of your God is not akin to the judgment of man. The Eternal Father will only judge by the heart. Your rank, your accumulation of worldly goods does not set you up before another. Many have sold their souls within the holy House of God. Better that you strip yourself and remove all worldly interests now while you have the time to make amends to your God, for many mitres will fall into hell." - St. Thomas Aquinas, August 21, 1972
