A book about two penguins bringing up an orphan chick has become about normalizing gay couples raising children
We bring our lens to a book. It means for us what we want it to mean, what we choose it to mean. There is no one Inherebt 'meaning' to a book
They are banning a book - pulping destroying a book -
because it depicts a lesbian couple adopting a baby girl saying it is inappropriate for kids .
I cry foul.
How can a book that talks about the parents love for an adopted child be banned? About a child getting a chance at life be banned? Talk about reductivism. Myopism. Has yaccob Ibrahim read the book? Dare he comment without reading? Public can be blind and stupid but our leaders too?
I know of adopted children who are upset their parents gave them up. Here is a book that shows the joy of the parents adopting the child. The adopted child need not feel abandoned but cherished. And they ban this book.
I cry foul.
I ask - have you read the book? Read then comment.
