This article is about a 7-year-old boy who was punished by his teacher for explaining to a friend that he has two moms, not a mom and a dad, because his mother is gay. The teacher objected to his using the word "gay", because it's a "dirty word".

"I was concerned when the assistant principal called and told me my son had said a word so bad that he didn't want to repeat it over the phone," Huff said. "But that was nothing compared to the shock I felt when my little boy came home and told me that his teacher had told him his family is a dirty word."
