(Washington) Education Secretary Margaret Spellings' stock is rising among conservatives - mainly the result of her attack on a cartoon about a rabbit that featured a gay family.

In January, on her second day as Education Secretary and Spellings launched an attack on the PBS series “Postcards From Buster” which featured an episode that had a lesbian family as part of a sub plot.
