A Must Read Book: "The Good News Club"
The author, Katherine Stewart, embarked on her investigation of what's going on in our public schools with the best possible motivation to expose the truth -- she became alarmed by what was happening in her own kids' school. She then traveled the country interviewing both other parents like herself and experts on the stealth "Good News" movement, resulting in a book that is not only full of well documented facts, but tells the personal accounts of parents who, like herself, have seen first hand what these innocuous sounding "Bible study" groups are really all about and the tactics they're using to lure and indoctrinate America's children into the fundamentalist Christian mindset. Like I said, I haven't read the whole book yet, but what I did was to read the chapters about the things that I am very familiar with from my own work, such as the chapter on the National Council On Bible Curriculum In Public Schools and some of the stuff about Child Evangelism Fellowship. Because of my own prior knowledge of these subjects, I felt like the accuracy and thorough explanation I found in those sections was enough for me to write this preliminary review, and to call Ms. Stewart's book a must read piece of investigative journalism. I'll be writing a full review as soon as I finish reading the entire thing, but I didn't want to wait to tell people to READ THIS BOOK!
