Good news! The Russian Ministry of Education is finally proposing to remove Harry Potter books from the 6th grade curriculum in Russian public schools.
The draft order also proposes excluding "A House with Character" by D. Jones, "Time is Always Good" by E.B. Pasternak, and poems by 20th century Russian authors, such as E.A. Evtushenko, A.S. Kushner, Y.D. Levitansky, Y.P. Moritz, and B.S. Okudzhava.
What literature will fill the gap? They are planning to add multiple items to the curriculum, including K. Bulychev’s “One Hundred Years Ahead” and Rasul Gamzatov’s poems “My Dagestan” and “Cranes”.
I, for one, am pleased to see witchcraft being kicked to the curb, especially in schools. Our children deserve better. We need to be giving them good, uplifting, edifying literature that won't damage their hearts and souls.

This is very good news, I've always known that Harry Potter wasn't healthy for children to read. The fact that the Russian government is actively taking steps to correct this is a very good sign. But I will say that it's very important not to go overboard. Reading material that is of satanic origin is very important to remove, caution should be taken to not to excessively remove material that isn't of this type of material.
Hello Father Joe,
I have paid you the highest level subscription, which I now think was a mistake as it is too expensive and I don't think worth the money. Please would you refund me? and I appeal to your christian values to not remove my comments and to do the right thing.
sincerely
Ole A
