ISTE 2012 or Bust — The Digital Shift

Even if one doesn't believe homosexuality is natural (in spite of plenty of scientific evidence that it is), comparing a book about bestiality or pedophilia to In Our Mothers' House is ludicrous, and not only because bestiality and pedophil...ia are criminal acts against unconsenting parties. A book about bestiality or pedophilia would necessarily include sexual content, whereas In Our Mothers' House is the gentle story of a loving family. Disagreeing with the "lifestyle" it portrays does not mean that it includes age-inappropriate content.See More
