Who will sue to ban "Sleeping Beauty"?

Because the prince kissed all of those princesses, which makes the reading of "Sleeping Beauty" sex education, according to the parents who have filed a suit in Massachusetts. You may recall that recenty, a teacher read King and King to a group of seven-year-olds with--gasp!--warning their parents first. King and King is a fairy tale about a same-gender relationship, and the litigious parents maintain that reading the book violates a 1996 Massachusetts law requiring parents to be notified of sex education lessons.

So if King and King is sex ed, so are "Sleeping Beauty," "Cinderella" (think of all that business with the feet), "Rapunzel" (all about attempting to get pregnant), and "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (pregnancy, and a prince who believes he must possess a woman). Will someone in Massachusetts please come forward and sue a kindergarten?
