Gay fairy tale sparks civil rights debate in MA: "A parents' rights group said on Monday it may sue the public school in the affluent suburb of Lexington, about 12 miles west of Boston, where a teacher used the book 'King & King' in a lesson about different types of weddings.

'It's just so heinous and objectionable that they would do this,' said Brian Camenker, president of the Parents Rights Coalition, a conservative Massachusetts-based advocacy group.

Camenker said he believes the school, Joseph Estabrook Elementary, broke a 1996 Massachusetts law requiring schools to notify parents of sex-education lessons. 'There is no question in my mind that the law is being abused here,' he said."
