The Lilliput Church of England Infant School has asked students to avoid singing the KPop Demon Hunters songs, explaining that some of the film’s themes conflict with the school’s Christian values. The school originally shared the request with parents of children aged four to seven, noting that certain lyrics made members of the community uncomfortable. Staff highlighted that demons, even in a fictional context, are tied to “spiritual forces opposed to God and goodness,” prompting the school to uphold what it calls its “Christian ethos.”
In a follow-up letter posted on November 18, 2025, acting head teacher Lloyd Allington expanded on the decision. He explained that for some Christians, language involving demons (even when playful) can conflict with teachings centered on rejecting evil. At the same time, he acknowledged that other parents had praised the movie for promoting teamwork and kindness. In this letter, he clarified that the goal is to help students recognize that classmates may hold different beliefs and respect their faith. It was also clarified that the school isn’t asking parents to tell their children that enjoying the film or the songs is wrong:
“We want to reassure you that we are not asking parents to tell their children that there is anything wrong with enjoying the film or its songs if it aligns with your own views and beliefs, and this will not be the messaging we share in the school either.”
“Our role will simply be to help children understand that some of their peers may hold different views and to explore how we can respect and support those peers in upholding their faith.”
