Religion should originate from the home, not school. Also, what are we gaining by teaching kids not to believe in God? Witchcraft is not explicitly stated in the book, but it is encouraged. The two kids create a world for themselves, where magic is everywhere, and that makes kids want to be witches and wizards, but witchcraft goes against Christian and Wiccan beliefs. How can we permit schools violating religious beliefs. Also, if the opposing side wants kids to be realistic, how is encouraging magic, helping their agenda? Bridge to Terabithia is extremely well written, that is irrefutable, but I do not agree with the fact it is marketed to middle schoolers. The book has too much darkness surrounding it, and it has too much of an ability to emotionally scar, to consider it a good study for 8th graders. You would also be doing yourself a great favor, getting rid of such a hotspot for religious controversy. Thank you for reading my letter, and I will expect an answer
