The incident renewed the efforts of Waltham, Mass.,-based Parents’ Rights Coalition to rid the state’s schools of books and lessons that advance the “homosexual agenda” in public schools. “By presenting this kind of issue at such a young age, they’re trying to indoctrinate our children,” stated the parents. The book was used as part of a lesson about different types of weddings. The controversy: In 2006, the parents of a Lexington, Mass., second grader protested that their son’s teacher read the fairy tale about gay marriage to the class without first warning parents. He instead falls in love with Prince Lee, and they wed. “Very well, Mother, I must say, though, I’ve never cared much for princesses,” he sighs. About the book: In this illustrated book, a grouchy queen tells her son that it is time for him to get married.
