"And have Child Protective Services investigate the parents for child neglect/abuse/endangerment."

You got it!

In fact you've probably seen the post on the gay fairy tale about TWO princes that fall in love with each other! They CAN NOT wait to get their filthy hands on kids. The younger the better. They LOVE to soil innocent minds.

I checked out a gay blog earlier today, that attacks all critics of gay marriage. The blogger was also talking about that very book (King and King), and saying that pushing such books on school children and gay marriage are inseparable, and that anyone who opposes the gay school books is "homophobic."

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: if homosexuality is biologically hard-wired from birth, what is the need for all the missionary work among small children?

Sorry to disappoint the gay community but I am not "homophobic". I don't FEAR homosexuality. I know it is wrong. It defies nature. I believe homos FEAR the truth about their emotional disorder acted out sexually.

Maybe your friend needs to get acquainted with Exodus. It's a Christian group that takes the time to get to the root of their emotional problem and TURNS THEM AROUND to a normal heterosexual life. Homos are VERY troubled people and it is a CHOICE to go through life like that. They don't have to.

On the playground: "hehehhe ... There is the girl that reads homo books."

While I get what you're saying (and agree slightly, it would be far better if the little one was removed from the situation entirely but that can't happen since the little one's are the ones that the 'homos' are targeting) it's far more likely to be "There's the girl who's parents won't let her read homo books"

They would withhold your child's report card until you returned the book and paid the fine.

I was told that same thing, that what is appropriate for one family is not necessarily considered inappropriate in another family when I complained about one of the girls in my daughter's sixth grade class bringing marijuana to school to share with the other girls in the restroom and another girl who brought a full flask of whiskey to school.

more likely to be "There's the girl who's parents won't let her read homo books"

Someone pointed out in an earlier post (you?) that kids instinctively find homosexuality naturally disgusting. If this is true (and I think it is), then I seriously doubt the playground reaction is going to be pro-homo as you suggest. It is far more likely that she would be "the girl who got in trouble for reading homo books."

I would be willing to wager that this specific little girl has been subjected to some playground taunts such as "Homo lover...homo lover...homo lover!"

I do know that I personally would never use my own children in the manner in which these parents are. If my daughter came home with such a book, I would do as parents have always done, I would have a quiet and private talk with her about these particular "facts of life."

Sorry, we simply lost the book. Here's $6.85.

On the other hand, if my kid is in 4th grade, I don't really care if they withhold her report card.
