Funding Cuts Make a Family
Real-life lesbian mothers, oh my!
Apparently wanting to "avoid confusion and controversy," PBS is dropping an episode of the children's show "Postcards from Buster," because it depicts real lesbian mothers. The episode, "Sugartime"--yes, that was the real title--involves a little bunny who travels to Vermont to learn how maple sugar is made. Along the way, he encounters two perfectly nice lesbian couples (although they never say that they are lesibans, apparently, it's obvious). The episode was criticized by Bush's education secretary Margaret Spellings , who said that the federal government, which helps support "Buster," did not intend for the money to be used "to introduce this kind of subject matter to children."

these education secretaries are never, EVER rational people. i do think the position should be eliminated altogether if it's going to keep drawing these complete fucknuts who are so out of touch with reality.
ridiculous.
