The point of contention here isn’t whether or not the concept of a Kosher Non-Jewish book exists; the discussion is whether to (a) allow our kids to be exposed to the world of secular reading to ensure they don’t fall down from the high standards of Yiddishkeit we expect, and (b) even if we allow our children to read these books, should we allow them to go to a library, where there is such an array of Tumah.
In regards to A, You are agreeing with me that there are books that have appropraite content. Then its up to the parents to censure the content to make sure that books with the inapproperate content do not get into their homes. But that said it is up to each parent to set the limit for the OWN home. In regards to B, you can say the same thing about anywhere. Should we let our children walk on the streets because there may be someone who is not dressed sniously? Of course not. Same thing for the supermarket. There are lots of nonkosher food there, maybe one of our children will buy something not kosher. Should we stop them from going there? No! Thats ridiclious. At some point you need to trust your children to make the right choices. And if you can’t then either you aren’t a good parent or you have some serious trust issues.
And I should have know that Yekles have no sense of humor. Torah = holy book. We are the people of the torah.
And yeah while we do need to send them the message that we are different then them, there are other more effective ways to do it.
