A public school district in North Carolina is allowing the use of a controversial fairy tale about gay marriage to be read in its elementary schools despite widespread community opposition.

Omar Currie, a former 3rd grade teacher at Efland-Cheeks Elementary School, read King & King—a book about two gay “princes” who fall in love and get married—to his third grade students in April after he said one student teased another by calling him “gay” in gym class.

Currie resigned this week after the parents of three students filed written complaints to the school media review committee. Meg Goodhand, the assistant principal at the school who loaned Currie her copy of the book to read to his third grade class, also resigned.

The Princess and the Frog, new version:

“Once a Princess kissed a frog and it turned into a magical p*nis, and she was glad cause she always wanted to be a Prince”.

It looks as if there are no companies that don't support the agenda.

The community needs to remove their children from the government schools immediately and permanently. Put those running these evil indoctrination camps out of a job. Hit them in their wallets.
