DOVER — Local libraries were recently the subject of a deliberate and calculating attack — of the bookmark variety.
Volunteers and staff at the Dover Public Library spent 30 hours in May collecting more than 5,000 bookmarks secretly placed inside books at the library sometime before May.
The bookmarks contained information about the beliefs of two organizations, the School Sucks Project and Freedomain Radio.
The School Sucks Project is focused on a call to end publicly funded education because of what the group calls an attempt to stifle creativity and a valuing of order and obedience over all else in the school system, according to the group’s website.
Freedomain Radio describes itself as a philosophical radio show with topics including politics, economics, science, philosophy, relationships and atheism, according to its website
People always have to push their ideas and beliefs on others.

I really don’t like home schooling, simply because it isolates the kids from others. I’ve met too many naive home schooled kids to recommend that approach.
The Heinlein story is probably a better approach.
My parents kept a lot of books and an encyclopedia at home, and my siblings and I read the books kept at home (often several times) and from the area library, as well as going to a Great Books club from 6th grade up to high school.
