Presidential candidates are split on whether a controversial children’s book that promotes or endorses same-sex marriage should be read to second graders. Republican hopefuls Fred Thompson and Mitt Romney don’t think the book, entitled “King and King,” should be read to children, but Democrats John Edwards, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton give it a qualified “thumbs up.” The book is a story for young children about a prince who, instead of marrying a princess, decides to marry her brother instead. Cybercast News Service posed a question to all the major presidential candidates: “Should teachers read the book to second graders as part of the school curriculum? Would you read it - or have read it - to your own children?”
