From the Wilmington Star:
CHARLOTTE, N.C. | A picture book based on a true story about two male penguins that raise an adopted hatchling together has been ordered off bookshelves in one of the state's largest school districts, officials said.
Don't cry, though. All is not lost. The Superintendent has taken responsibility for not following the district policy -- a miscommunication led to the book being formally banned from the school system without a written complaint or a committee review -- and has said that a committee will review the decision.
Hopefully it'll be back on the library shelves soon.
Man, these poor innocent penquins attacked YET AGAIN. It's getting pretty old.

The book has just been challenged in Broward County Florida libraries as well. I'm sure this has been said many times and many ways (and it isn't Merry Christmas) -- don't these people have anything better to do with their time? Feed the hungry, shelter the homeless?
