The teacher didn't tell the parents . . . I can kinda see where the controversy stems.

LMAO@scotz
"Protecting the children" is always used as the guise for uptight adults and their own insecurities and phobias.
So what do the parents think? Little Johnny wants to grow up and be "queen" now that he's heard the tale?
LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!

Ah...but here's the sad truth....gay fairy tales often don't have happy endings....especially when the majority of the US population is full of homophobic a**holes.

Alassë,
The school board might be criticized a bit for failing to advise the parents ahead of time that controversial subject material was about to be introduced. It does seem a mite distant and out of touch.
Superintendent Ash’s point is well made – the location is in Massachusetts, where homosexual marriage is legal.
School boards are commonly elected – and unelected – as the Dover School Board recently discovered in re their decision to introduce into a Science class the controversial theory of ID. If there are enough parents who feel strongly enough about the subject to invest the effort to vote the next time they have the opportunity to do so, then the issue will be resolved to the satisfaction of the majority of good citizens.

What that teacher did is unacceptable to me. It lacks common sense and responsability. Something that controversial and that cutting edge for a group of 7 year olds should have had parental buy in first. Who knows, perhaps all of the parents would have said "go for it". The story might be a good one to teach the kids about the bigger world. But to just spring it on...that's not cool.
Consider it from this perspective, what if a teacher told a story about a bunch of niggers talking to a bunch of cunts about how Bill was holding them back... Not exactly something any of us would want to try and explain to 7 year olds.

Er, what? You're using the n & c words as an analogy to a story about gay people? I really don't get your point.
