Authorities in Loudon County, VA have decided to pull a children’s book from its library shelves because two male penguins decide to raise an egg together:

In the book, male penguins Roy and Silo team up to care for another pair’s egg. As a family, they hatch and raise a chick named Tango.

…

“Every child might not be ready for that,” [public information officer for Loudoun County Public Schools Wayde] Byard said. “They might not be mature enough to deal with that subject matter.”

It is safe to assume that there is no gay penguin sex in the book — so I have to wonder what in the hell Loudon County Public School officials are thinking when they read children’s books.

Dirty bastards.
