It's not the book. It's how the book is being used as a teaching tool in schools. If parents want to buy the book for their kids, fine by me. But it looks to me that the book is going to be used in schools for a different purpose entirely than teaching kids about penguins. And that's what ticks me off.

Children should read what they want, or whatever they pick up, and come to their own conclusions as they grow up
Making a big deal about a picture book with 'gay' penguins is stupid because anyone who politicizes the behavior of a couple of birds only makes himself looks ridiculous - and that goes for the authors of the book too
