From what I heard on the evening news, this is not the first time this school board has allowed/encouraged something like this. Either last year or the year before they sent the kiddies (I think in first grade) home with a bunch of books. One of the books was about a gay lifestyle. When asked about the choice of books, the reply from the school board is that they were just trying to educate the kids about the world they lived in.

The sad thing is - the school board that permitted it the first time around is still there!

I know I'll catch it for my stance, but grade school is not the place to learn of such things. This should be a subject discussed by the parents at their leisure and of their choosing - not as a matter of discussion against their will and without their knowing.
