Gay penguins book in school library.

“And Tango Makes Three,” A picture book about two male penguins raising a baby penguin outrages many parents but school administration is reluctant to ban it.  This story is 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.

There is no reason that this should be resticted any more than if mom and dad penguins were raising a kid.  By even saying that the book should be banned is saying that being gay is wrong and that is not a message we should give to our kids.  This book is not directly about being gay, it is about raising the young penguin, and it is based on a real event.  I do not think that this book should be banned.  If anything I think we should encourage our kids to read it so they become more accepting of homosexuals.

If we take violence in cartoons, children will hit each other.

If we take cookies away from the Cookie Monster, children will still be obese.

If we hide children from homosexuality, they will find it in wonder when they realize the real world.

If we continue to blame outside sources for our children's problems, new problems will continue to arise.

We live in an age when unnecessary things are our only necessities ; Oscar Wilde

Very true.
