I am a new media specialist.  I am in charge of a "slumber party" for
K-1 next week.  The kids and parents will come in their pajamas and the
principal, reading teacher, and I will read one story each in our
pajamas.  There is usually a theme.  I thought it would be fun to have
fractured fairy tales because I really enjoyed Bubba and the Cowboy
Prince.  The principal was alarmed because the book says that the
Bubba's stepfather was mean and his step brothers were lazy.  The
principal said that we had too many step families in our school and they
would be affended.  When he asked another teacher, she felt the same
way.  She said it shouldn't be read aloud.  I was amazed.  Am I naive?
I now need to find 3 new books for next week.  Any ideas?  Remember, I
can't ruffle any feathers!
