Democratic Candidates Say They’re OK With Second-Grade Teacher Reading Gay Prince Fairy Tale

September 29, 2007

A fairy tale about two princes falling in love sparked a backlash  and a lawsuit against a teacher and a school last year when it was read to a second-grade class in Massachusetts.

But the three frontrunners in the Democratic presidential race suggested Wednesday night at their debate in New Hampshire that they’d support reading the controversial book to children as part of a school curriculum.

Moderator Tim Russert asked John Edwards, Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton whether they’d be comfortable having the story called “King & King” read to their children in school.

Edwards gave the first and most definitive answer  a resounding and instant “yes, absolutely” although he added that it “might be a little tough” for second-graders.

Obama agreed with Edwards and revealed that his wife has already spoken to his 6- and 9-year-old daughters about same-sex marriage.

Clinton said she believes it’s up to parents to decide how to handle such topics, but added that it’s important to teach kids about the “many differences that are in the world.”
