NKC School Board ready to let parents call the shots at its libraries

​Small, flightless homosexuals may have won the first round in the battle for the hearts and minds of Northland children, but the war goes on.

This past December, the North Kansas City School Board voted 3-2 to keep And Tango Makes Three in its school libraries.

The book is questionable because of its depiction of the real-life story of two male penguins hatching an egg and raising the baby together as a happy family. Board member Phil Holloway sagely noted the book’s pro-gay agenda: “We are naive if we say this is just a book about penguins, because it’s not.”

But don’t celebrate just yet, avian sodomites. The board might have a way to remove your brand of waddling abnormality from the shelves and, if you’ll excuse the expression, kill a few birds with one big stone.

“It might be some books don’t belong in an elementary library,” says Jo Burton, the district’s director of communication. “But right now the board just wanted general conversation to see if we didn’t have local age appropriate guidelines.”
