School District Sued For Restricting Book Featuring Lesbian Couple
Davis School District In Utah Sued For Restricting
‘In Our Mothers’ House,’ Book Featuring Lesbian Couple
The American Civil Liberties Union and the ACLU of Utah filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the Davis School District after officials told elementary schools in the district to remove a children’s book about a family with same-sex parents from their libraries.
“In Our Mothers’ House” tells the story of children being raised by a lesbian couple. It was added to five of the district’s 50 elementary schools in June 2010 in an effort to foster inclusion after administrators learned that a Windridge Elementary School student was being raised by a lesbian couple, but first sparked controversy in January, when a mother complained to school officials after her kindergarten-age son brought the book home.
