American parents keep priorities straight (and only straight)
Reckless gun play. Bullying. Foul language. Unsafe sex. Destroying the environment. Playing kickball in the middle of a busy street. Condemning others for being born a certain way.
It would be perfectly understandable if the encouragement of any of the above topics led a children's book to be deemed controversial. However, none of the above themes are found in the book that has, for the second year in a row, topped the American Library Association's list of the most "challenged" book in public schools and libraries. No, no -- it is instead the encouragement of gay acceptance that this nation's parents view most worthy of scorn:

In a related story: We hear gay penguins would sooner die than read about narrow-minded Americans with out-of-whack values systems. So hey, at least the feeling is mutual
Your thoughts
Sally Kern would probably say that those penguins would pose less of a threat if they strapped bombs on their backs and walked into pens of freshly hatched ducklings before detonating them.
