2 Guys and a Chick Set Off Loudoun Library Dispute
Edited on Sun Feb-17-08 07:24 AM by usaftmo
"A children's book about two male penguins that hatch and parent a chick was pulled from library shelves in Loudoun County elementary schools this month after a parent complained that it promoted a gay agenda."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/02/16/AR2008021600749.html?hpid=sec-education

Gay Agenda? What's wrong with these homophobic people! Male penguins have a significant in taking care of the egg. Not only that, they pulled the book due to 1 complaint from a parent!

:crazy:

Gee I wonder what is in the bible that they don't know about and find offensive.
