FOXNews.com - Top Stories - N.C. Parents Angry Over Gay Children's Book

I just don't like a book like this available to kids without parental approval. Most parents would find this book offensive and not even close to approprate for a elementary school aged kid.

About two years ago, my (then) youngest daughter grabbed a bunch of books at the public library - including this one. Normally, I'd review her selections, but that day we were in a hurry. Needless to say, my wife and I were rather surprised later that day when she brought the book to us and said, "Look mom and dad, two boys are kissing on the lips!"

We review everything now.

Yep, as parents we've got to be extremely diligent. It's just too bad that there are forces out there that want to undermine our values.

I live in this city and have posted two blogs on the site about the local coverage which was not part of the AP coverage. This book and it's sequel needs to be removed now.
