Gay Penguin Book Shakes Up Illinois School http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,230178,00.html

The concerns are the latest involving "And Tango Makes Three," the illustrated children's book based on a true story of two male penguins in New York City's Central Park Zoo that adopted a fertilized egg and raised the chick as their own.
Complaining about the book's homosexual undertones, some parents of Shiloh Elementary School students believe the book — available to be checked out of the school's library in this 11,000-resident town 20 miles east of St. Louis — tackles topics their children aren't ready to handle.
Their request: Move the book to the library's regular shelves and restrict it to a section for mature issues, perhaps even requiring parental permission before a child can check it out.
For now, "And Tango Makes Three" will stay put, said school district Superintendent Jennifer Filyaw, though a panel she appointed suggested the book be moved and require parental permission to be checked out. The district's attorney said moving it might be construed as censorship.
Filyaw considers the book "adorable" and age appropriate, written for children ages 4 to 8. "My feeling is that a library is to serve an entire population," she said. "It means you represent different families in a society — different religions, different beliefs."
Hey Jennifer, how many times have you seen TWO MALES ANIMALS raising a brood in the wild or in domesticated life.
Here is Jennifer's email: http://66.99.180.254/profiles.php?uid=37
Remember, it's IDIOTS like Jennifer Filyaw who decide on what YOUR CHILD learns about in school.
No liberal homo agenda? My aching butt.
