will this bother social conservatives?

From Tara Hettinger of the Jeff/NA News-Tribune, news that Q and U have gotten hitched...

Marriage is between one man and one woman-- not two letters! ;-)
But this sure is a cute story-- and a creative way to teach kids about Qu...

The sounds of “Canon in D” filled the room Monday as kindergartners at St. Paul Catholic School dressed as queens and quarterbacks filed in quietly, walking down the aisle and taking their seats.

Everyone stood and looked to the back of the room as “Here Comes the Bride” started to play, and two students appeared, the queen holding the letter Q; the quarterback holding the letter U.

The two marched to the front of the group, meeting Courtney Cooper, kindergarten teacher who also officiated the ceremony.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we are here today to join the letters Q and U in holy matrimony, forever,” she announced.

She asked the two if they took one another in quarrels and in health. They said, “I do.”

“By the power vested in me by the St. Paul Catholic School, I now pronounce you ‘QU,’” Cooper said.

The traditional phrase, “You may now kiss the bride,” was not said, because as 5-year-old Catherine Sellmer pointed out, “Letters can’t walk and they can’t kiss.”...

The students have known about the wedding for a few weeks, and Cooper said she can see the lasting effect this will have on them.

“Already in our phonics papers, I can see the difference that they know Q can’t go without a U,” she said.

“Q can’t make a word without U because Q does not make a sound,” Sellmer explained as to why the letters got married....

You can probably imagine the other public policy jokes I might have added, but I'll leave that to your own (hopefully fertile) imagination.
