manifesto

To you zealots and bigots and falsepatriots who live in fear of

discourse.You screamers and banners and

burnerswho would force books

off shelves in your brand nameof greater good.

You say you’re afraid for children,innocents ripe for corruptionby perversion or sorcery on the page.But sticks and stones do breakbones, and ignorance is no armor.You do not speak for me,and will not deny my kids magicin favor of miracles.

You say you’re afraid for America,the red, white and blue corrodedby terrorists, socialists, the sexuallyconfused. But we are a vast quiltof patchwork cultures and multi-genderedidentities. You cannot speak for thosewhose ancestors braveddifferent seas.

You say you’re afraid for God,the living word eroded by Muhammedand Darwin and Magdalene.But the omnipotent sculptor of heavenand earth designed intelligence.Surely you dare not speakfor the father, who openshis arms to all.

A word to the unwise.Torch every book.Char every page.Burn every word to ash.Ideas are incombustible.And therein lies your real fear.

— Ellen HopkinS,bestselling author of

Crank , Fallen, Identical, and more
