Call me intolerant.....
I have posted about my disgust of Fred Phelps and his hate group. I believe God loves everyone. Hate is wrong. But the as a believer in Christ I know the Bible is clear that God hates sin. Truth has to be proclaimed.
I read this story and it made me sick. The teacher at Joseph Estabrook Elementary School in Lexington, Mass., read to her class "King & King" --a colorful 29-page children's book in which a prince searches for a wife, only in the end to choose another prince. The story ends with the two princes "marrying" and living "happily ever after." On the last page, the princes -- now kings -- even share a kiss.
What people do in the privacy of their own house is their business. I don't want a book on two "un-married" people having sex ethier. Let's face it we don't have adulterer's lobbying Congress to have special rights. This is just plain sick. What's next a book to 1st graders on Beastiality? What about a how to book on torture? How about how to start your own porn business.
This is wrong. Everytime my wife and I struggle with to continue to Homeschool our children, stories like this give us peace to keep going. My daughter is in 2nd grade. She could have been in this class. Don't think it isn't coming to our schools here. Is there any more evidence that we need new churches in the NE US? I don't hate the author of this book or anyone who is in the homosexual lifestyle. But, I don't want them exposing this lie to our children. God help us.

It is interesting that you would be called intolerant, even though you would probably be perfectly happy with an educational system that simply chose to insist that education on matters of sexuality is the parent's responsibility (in essence taking a neutral position). In contrast, those who insist on teaching a particular advocacy position are regarded as tolerant. What's wrong with this picture?
Steven,
It is sad. It should be the parent's responsibility.
Tim,
Great to meet a "homeschooler." We get excited when we meet sold out homeschoolers like you.
