A Florida taxpayer-funded school district has reversed course after they initially removed the Holy Bible from libraries when a citizen complained that God’s Word “causes religious trauma syndrome.”
The citizen filed a complaint with the Escambia County Public Schools alleging the Bible “promotes sexism, sex, violence, genocide, slavery, rape and beastiality.”

The citizen went on to say the Bible’s purpose is to “indoctrinate children in Christianity.”
Schools were told Sunday to remove the Bible from their libraries, the Pensacola News Journal reported. But on Wednesday, that decision was reversed.
“The Bible is allowed in schools and has a place in education, according to Florida statues,” Supt. Tim Smith told NorthEscambia.com.
The superintendent was referring to Florida Statute 1003.45 (1). It states, “the district school board may install in the public schools in the district a secular program of education including, but not limited to, an objective study of the Bible and of religion.”
In short, the Bible is a textbook protected by state law.The Escambia County Public Schools will not move forward with the reconsideration of the Bible as a library or instructional resource, and will immediately return all copies to the general collections in district libraries,” the district said in a statement to NorthEscambia.com. Not everyone was thrilled with the district’s decision.“When you ban the diary of Anne Frank, or To Catch a Mockingbird but are okay with the violence and incest of the old testament in the Bible.. That’s Theocracy Not Democracy,” one angry resident wrote on social media.But most residents were happy with the decision.Having it available to read doesn’t mean Christianity is being forced on anyone.Likewise, the Torah, Quran, Book of Mormon, […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
