Gay Penguins

Parents have the everyday stress of protecting their children from the more inappropriate things in life. Sometimes they are not able to do this just because of so many types of media children have access to. Among these are computers, phones, and...books.

And some people have taken notice and that. That's why people can challenge and ban a book. To ban a book means that it won't be in schools and libraries. But there are stupid people in the world with even dumber ideas. Some books are banned for really dumb reasons.  And Tango Makes Three is a great example.

-THE BOOK: And Tango Makes Three

-ABOUT THE BOOK: And Tango Makes Three is about two male penguins named Roy and Silo. They wanted  to have a family and tried very hard to hatch a rock. After witnessing this heart-breaking scene, zoo keepers gave Roy and Silo an abandoned egg. They immediately adopted and hatched the egg.

-WHY IT'S BANNED: "homosexual story line that has been sugarcoated with cute penguins,"A Lodi. 

After reading that you have probably developed an opinion of your own. In my own opinion this book is okay for children too read. Younger children won't understand what's going on and elementary kids will have already heard about homosexuality from other children. And if you don't agree with my views nobody said you HAVE to read it. People and penguins should be free to live their life the way they want without being questioned by peers.
