And Tango Makes Three Wins One In California

Despite a push to have it banned from Chico Unified School District, a book some parents found offensive will remain on library shelves among picture books and easy-to-read children's literature.
Three parents challenged "And Tango Makes Three" by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell, on grounds that it was not appropriate for its targeted 3- to 8-year-old audience.

But a committee formed to review the book denied the challenge, said Carolyn Adkisson, director of elementary education.
