I’ll wait for the transcript for the exact wording, but when she was asked about the gay children’s book in schools question, she quickly changed the topic to gay rights and ended with a throwaway line about how what kids learn about homosexuality is a choice best left to parents. It sounded like she was pandering to gay groups — or standing on rock solid principle, depending on your view. But to the extent she answered the question at all, it’s worth noting that saying teaching kids about homosexuality is a parental choice is in fact saying that it shouldn’t be taught in schools. But I doubt one in a hundred people took that as her meaning.
