Our schools - Coming to a school near you?
I hope not.
And this is in the "China Daily". What's that about?...
And this is in the "China Daily". What's that about?...
You might have a hard time believing this:
"The suit against Lexington, about 12 miles west of Boston, seeks unspecified damages after the book 'King & King' was read to a classroom of about 20 mostly 7 years olds. It is believed the first of its kind, the families' lawyers said.
The complaint said the school had 'begun a process of intentionally indoctrinating very young children to affirm the notion that homosexuality is right and normal in direct denigration of the plaintiffs' deeply held faith.'
It also charges that Lexington broke a 1996 Massachusetts law requiring that parents be notified of sex-education lessons. It names Lexington Superintendent of Schools Paul Ash and several other school and town officials.
Ash said the school was under no legal obligation to inform parents the book would be read. 'This school district is committed to a welcoming environment for all kids. We embrace the diverse nature of the community,' he told Reuters.
'King & King' tells the story of a crown prince who rejects a bevy of beautiful princesses, rebuffing each suitor until falling in love with a prince. The two marry, sealing the union with a kiss, and live happily ever after."
