Finally. Someone on the side of sanity weighs in.

Two Pleasant Valley parents are challenging the decision to restrict the use of a book with a gay character in the district’s elementary schools, saying the decision violates constitutional protections for teachers and students, the process was not as open as it should have been, and the board violated its own policies.

"Parents who take offense at this are always afforded the opportunity to not have their children exposed to materials with which they disagree. However, they should not be allowed to use the public school board to impose their narrow religious views on the rest of the community,” documents state. “Such action violates the constitutional protections provided to teachers and students.”"

Oh Thank God!
Someone is finally standing up and saying, "Fine, you don't want your kid to read this. But you are NOT telling the rest US what OUR kids can't read."
More people need to do this.
