Court Hears Case of Same Sex Story Read to Kids

Court Hears Case of Same Sex Story Read to Kids

I think it's really pathetic of parents to sue schools just because of a book. Homosexual people are out there in the world today, why try to deny it? Children are not going to turn homosexual because they read a book. They develop their own lifestyle once they become older. It happens to all of us.

I swear this same thread has been created, I think it was originally by EPS.

I'll search for it.

Edit: Actually, originally started by Oubliette.

This book makes me laugh. I don't have one, though, but I did look it up on amazon. I think the world keeps getting more and more absurd with people making the biggest fuss over the smallest things. I mean, this book can be used in a good way too, by making young kids more aware of people who are different from them.

I think the book would be put to good use. It could teach tolerance of different people and show kids that not everyone in the world is the same. I think people are just making a HUGE deal out of something they don't need to.

People like to make a big deal of little things. Then they realize it was a huge stupid mistake. They are human. Big deal, so I act like an alien. [Just a metaphorical phrase]. Who cares if books talk about people who are gay to little kids?

Scratch that.

Some people just boogle others' minds with the things they do.

The funny thing is, some of those kids in that class could be adopted by a single sex couple. The article also pretty much said that those who were protesting were in the minority. So I'm kinda curious why this was even given a second of attention by anyone. I mean, people protest things all the time. What makes this special?
