RRISD Rents say TTYL to Lauren Myracle

It’s a cute little pink book; Bright yellow emoticons on the cover. Your eleven-year-old daughter brings TTYL home from the school library. When the “rents” review the book, they find out it’s not cute at all; in fact it’s vulgar and sexually explicit. That’s what happened to Wes & Sherry Jennings, parents of a student in a Round Rock ISD Middle School.

TTYL (Talk to You Later) is the book title. TTYL is about three High School sophomore girls who are best friends that stick it out through thick and thin. That’s all great. Too bad writer Lauren Myracle thinks teen girls will be sexually repressed by their Christian parents, and must be liberated by an X-rated and vulgar sexual expose of the "real world". TTYL is deservedly on the 2007 top ten most banned book list of ALA.


Thanks to persistent objection from RRISD parents, the book has been removed from Round Rock Middle School libraries. Superintendent, Dr. Jesus Chavez took action to protect young readers against TTYL on Monday, Nov. 17th.

Thank God that parents have stood up to the process, and persisted in protecting little ones. Thank God that Dr. Chavez recognized TTYL is not appropriate for Middle School girls. The Jennings and other Round Rock parents have set a great example, making a difference by engaging the process.


God Save the U.S.A.

Show Announcement: The Future of Liberty, Part II

The future destiny of our nation will soon be in the hands of the most left leaning Presidential Administration and Congress we've ever seen. The secularization of America and its institutions is still raging on its destructive path.

What will you do? Will you continue to be silent and disengaged from the political process? Will you continue to mind your own business?

Parents in Round Rock ISD are setting the example on a local book controversy. The 11-year-old daughter of Wes and Sherry Jennings checked out the cute little book "TTYL", by Lauren Myracle, from a Middle School library. The book turned out to be not so cute; in fact, it's vulgar, bigoted, and X-rated sexually explicit. RRISD officials have thus far taken no steps to protect the little ones from sin. Jennings will be joining us to expose the issue and tell how we can help.

... whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. Matt 18:6 (ESV)

Rob Hurlbut of TakeUp.org will also join the program. Hurlburt is a Kingdom Warrior. He knows first hand how the political system works, and what we can do to impact our nation. As we prepare for the first 100 days of a new Presidential Administration and a new Congress, we must be ready to stand and to speak.
