Sometimes, I hate being right. It wasn't a stretch of the imagination to foresee that the new storybook Uncle Bobby's Wedding, by Sarah Brannen, would be a target for the right.

I didn't imagine they'd quote me while doing so, however. The conservative publication Town Hall just published the article "Librarians Against Censorship," by Brent Bozell III. Bozell says:

I like this quote of Pam's.  It should be printed in big lettes on the front page and cover of every publication in the world.

QuoteBe aware, though, that while you still may be able to censor books, it will be harder to censor the many children of LGBT parents who are talking about what they did with Mommy and Mama during summer vacation, or having their dads pick them up from soccer practice. Teaching about LGBT families is not about "promoting" some abstract "homosexual agenda." It is about teaching children to respect their peers and develop into good citizens in today's society.
