"The Marketing of Evil" – the controversial bestseller that caused a national uproar after "gay" college professors accused a librarian of "sexual harassment" just for recommending the book to freshmen – turns out to be having a surprising effect on young people, some of whom claim it has rescued them from a life of corruption and degradation.

Ellie French, a freshman at Lee University in Cleveland, Tenn., writes:

If you're a mom or dad and you are worried that your child is deceived and is being unduly influenced by things you know are wrong, if your teenager will read this book, it will change how he sees life.

In January of 2004, I was a junior in high school. My mother gave me David Kupelian's articles entitled, "Selling Sex and Corruption to Your Kids," and "Why Today's Youth Culture Has Gone Insane." (Editor's note: These two articles comprise an early version of what ultimately became Chapter 3 of "The Marketing of Evil.")

It was like blinders came off my eyes after I read this. I began to go to school and each day I'd see more and more how my generation had bought the lie and swallowed it. I realized that I and so many kids in my high school had been hoodwinked by MTV. There's a force out there that wants evil in my life and my generation's life. It's not just the fact that they want our money. They are purveyors of evil.

It disgusted me to see so many of the so-called "coolest" and looked-up-to kids being revered when in fact they were suffering from a hideous identity crisis. Any white senior wearing a Malcolm X hat backwards and intentionally altering his voice so as to sound like an uneducated black male raised in the ghetto is nothing but a joke to me now. The strange thing is, this is what my peers like and respect.

Before I read the article, I was a prisoner of thinking I had to be a certain way. But reading this confirmed what I knew deep down, which was that that was the last way I needed to be. I was very image-conscious before I read this article and it completely dispelled my desire to conform. I was completely exhausted from trying to conform to the way everybody else was. I realized that I no longer wanted my actions to be the result of believing a lie.
