Virginia parents succeed against pro-homosexual book

Homosexual penguin questionParents in one Virginia County have successfully forced the removal of a book, which promotes homosexuality, from their local elementary school.

 

The book, titled And Tango Makes Three, is based in part on the story of two male penguins that temporarily form a couple to raise a penguin chick. Peter LaBarbera with Americans for Truth About Homosexuality says he is not surprised that the homosexual propaganda piece is still showing up in elementary school libraries.
 
"One of the more insidious aspects of the homosexual agenda has been its willingness to manipulate young people's minds to promote homosexual behavior," he warns. "We shouldn't be talking about homosexuality to kids who are years away from understanding ... what normal sex is ...."
 
Critics say the book does not explain that the real penguins -- on which the story is based -- split-up as soon as a potential female partner was introduced into their environment. And one of them later mated with her.
 
"In other words, the homosexual activists recommend a story, which is ... not even a true story," LaBarbera argues. "The penguin who returned to normalcy, of course, the kids don't know about that.
 
LaBarbera admits he is not surprised at the willingness of homosexual activists to use deceit to promote their agenda. "The homosexual activists know that they have to change minds very young and equate homosexuality with love before the parents can inculcate their own values," he continues. "So that's why these books are insidious, because they're ... trying to change these kids' minds and their moral framework ...."
 
The book is now only available to teachers and parents in Loudon County, Virginia, elementary schools. Middle and high school students can read it with no restrictions and without permission from or notice to their parents.
