eSchool News online is carrying the story of Spellings, the new education secretary, denouncing PBS for spending public money on an episode of Postcards from Buster that features a lesbian couple. The episode does not focus on the couple but on their maple sugaring in Vermont. What a sad statement when conservatism like this is allowed to determine what families have access to. It certainly tells gay and lesbian parents exactly where they stand in the new secretary’s eyes.
