“Two sets of parents filed a lawsuit Thursday against a Massachusetts town and its public school system after a teacher read a gay-themed fairy tale to children without notifying them first, their lawyers said. The lawsuit against Lexington, a wealthy suburb about 12 miles west of Boston, seeks unspecified damages after book ‘King & King’ was read to a classroom of about 20 children who were mostly 7 years old. It also charges that the school broke a 1996 Massachusetts law requiring that parents be notified of sex-education lessons. It names Lexington Superintendent of Schools Paul Ash and several other school and town officials.” (04/27/06)
