​My thoughts as a Christian mum on the school banning K-pop demon hunters songs

Writer Becky Hunter Kelm applauds Lilliput Church of England Infant School’s decision to ban songs from K-Pop Demon Hunters. She explores why, for many Christian families, discernment around spiritual themes in pop culture still matters.

Lilliput Church of England Infant School in Poole, Dorset, has banned its pupils from singing songs from the Netflix film K-Pop Demon Hunters because it doesn’t promote its “Christian ethos” and the reference to demons is to “associate them with spiritual forces opposed to God and goodness”.

I wasn’t surprised to read about pushback from the school’s parents to this decision, some of whom said the songs promoted positive messages, and one parent told the BBC, “I thought it was ridiculous. My daughter is very into K-pop and her and all of her little friends love it.”
