ACLU: Give kids ‘lesbian’ book at school

ACLU: Give kids ‘lesbian’ book at school: When a kindergarten boy brought home a children’s book touting the joys of being in a lesbian family, his parents complained to Windridge Elementary School, sparking a petition signed by 25 parents in protest.

The book, “In Our Mother’s House,” is marketed on Amazon as a book for children “ages 6 and up.”

It touches on the alleged joys of being in a homosexual relationship and what the author believes is society’s condemnation of it.

In April, the Davis School District committee in Kaysville, Utah, voted 6-1 to keep the book in its school libraries – as long as it was kept behind the counter and provided only to children who received parental permission to check it out.

Now the American Civil Liberties Union is getting involved – threatening the district for requiring parental consent.
