Ugh! How soon before the books expounding on the beauty of child/adult love relationships are being force-fed to children?
Somebody needs to write, “Heather Has A Lot Of “Issues”.
“When two-parent, heterosexual families are presented as the norm in story after story, near [year] in and year out, an insidious message is conveyed: Families that don’t conform to this structure are not normal.”
That is not an ‘insidious’ message. It is TRUTH. When it is a lifestyle of less than 5% of the population, it is clearly not the norm.
Normal is now considered "insidious"?
Lord, how long must you tarry?
And the truth is revealed.
Two-parent, heterosexual families ARE the norm. The human race has spent several thousand years perfecting this model for the family, and it seems to have been adopted in most every society around the world, even before there was much contact between the various different tribes and clans.
There may be some primates in the wild that have different sexual pairing strategies, but for human beings, the male-female bound for the purpose of raising the young, that continues for a very long term, seems to serve all the purposes admirably.
Anything else is just, well, anti-children.
And it IS for the children, isn’t it?
“It takes a lot of work to find books that include same-gender parents, step-parents, foster or adoptive children, or other nontraditional families”
Gee....could that be because they are NONTRADITIONAL???
Uhhhhhhhh............................

......yep. That'd be about my assessment.
“When two-parent, heterosexual families are presented as the norm in story after story, near [year] in and year out, an insidious message is conveyed: Families that don’t conform to this structure are not normal.”
Well you see, dear, that’s because THEY AREN’T! And they’re not supposed to be.
So this chick is upset there is not ENOUGH indoctrination in the schools? Time for folks to seriously consider homeschooling, if they want their kids to be educated. Not in the sense of shielding them from the influences that are in the public school systems, but because, since the FOCUS is on indoctrination, there simply can’t be enough time in the day for actual LEARNING of the important subject matter to occur.
