"Maybe in Vermont, mud season, how maple syrup is tapped from trees and family structure of this type is accepted."
The amazing quotes from book challenge stories never cease in their hilarity. Anyway.
Remember the Postcards From Buster: Sugartime! controversy?
As it was five whole years ago, you'd think it would all be over, right?
Wrong.
Now it's the print adaptation that's got people upset.
From Tulsa World:
The book is a condensed version of the episode. Of the story's 31 pages of text and pictures, two short passages mention the same-sex couple; one picture at the book's end features the two same-sex couples and their children together; and a drawn picture of one of the couples is in a scene's background.
The two passages state: "Buster went to visit his mom's friends Karen and Gillian. They had three children ..." and "Lily's moms, Tracy and Gina, were very good cooks."
The review committee has voted 6-1 to keep the book in the school's library, and the school board will decide today whether or not to abide by that decision.
