A county in Florida has banned three children’s books, including one about two gay male penguins who adopt an egg, claiming that the books run afoul of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law.
Lake County Schools has banned “And Tango Makes Three”, an award-winning children’s book based on the true story of two gay male Central Park Zoo penguins who adopted an egg and raised the baby penguin hatched from it as their own.
The school system has also banned “A Day with Marlon Bundo”, a story about a rabbit, the pet of former Vice President Pence who falls in love with another male rabbit, and “In Our Mother’s House”, a book about a family being headed by a lesbian couple, according to Popular Information.
The justification for removing the three books from library shelves was that the books contain content prohibited by Florida’s “Parental Rights in Education” law dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” law which prohibits classroom instruction in sexual orientation or gender identity, or sexual instruction in grades K-3, and requires that any material broaching those topics in older grades be age appropriate or developmentally appropriate.
