ANNAPOLIS, August 1, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A public school district's program promoting anal sex, homosexuality, bisexuality, and transvestitism as normal sexual variations was recently approved by the Maryland State Board of Education despite strenuous opposition from several pro-family groups. Montgomery County Public School's controversial sexuality curriculum for eighth and tenth grade students is the result of pressure by homosexual advocacy groups.
In response, the Thomas More Law Center, a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, announced today that it will assist the pro-family groups in their appeal of the Education Board's decision to the Montgomery County Circuit Court. The Law Center will be assisted by Maryland attorney John R. Garza who has been involved in the curriculum fight for several years.
The Thomas More Law Center and John Garza represent Citizens for a Responsible Curriculum, Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays, and the Family Leader Network.
According to Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Law Center, "I'm impressed with the principled and steadfast opposition by these pro-family groups to this outrageously hedonistic and life-threatening sexuality curriculum. The Law Center will do everything we can to assist them in their fight."
The pro-family groups oppose the sex program on several grounds: (1) it teaches students that homosexuality is "innate," which is an unproven theory; (2) it teaches students that anal sex is just another sexual option without warning students of the increased HIV/AIDS risk of anal sex, even with a condom; (3) it labels as "homophobic" children who hold traditional religious or moral beliefs about homosexuality; and (4) it teaches students that transgenderism is just another "sexual orientation," even though transgenderism has been classified as a mental disorder.
The Montgomery County Circuit Court may overturn the decision of the State Board of Education. The court may also stay the application of the sexuality curriculum while the appeal is pending. If the court affirms the decision of the State Board of Education, the case will be appealed to the Maryland Court of Appeals.
Edward L. White III, trial counsel with the Law Center, who is handling the case, commented: "This curriculum is full of factual inaccuracies and runs counter to sound educational policy. It should not be taught in the public school."

The libs’ strategy to improve the per student funding for public schools is to drive off the conservatives. Unfortunately, what they don’t comprehend is that disaffected conservatives won’t vote for higher school funding.

THE NEA HAS THIS PLANNED FOR YOUR CHILDREN.
And then they could experience some of their proposed teachings first hand....

Jailed, hell. The crummy perverts should be shot.
Thou wilt not yield the Vandal toll
Maryland! my Maryland!
Thou wilt not crook to his control
Maryland! my Maryland!
Better the fire upon thee roll
Better the shot, the blade, the bowl
Than crucifixion of the soul
Maryland! my Maryland!

Why in hell are the public schools permitted to teach this outrageous ‘pornography’ to innocent children? If I was a parent of a child attending a school like that I would take my child out immediately, call a meeting of other parents, and get a class lawsuit going against the entire school district!!!!!
Separation of school and state BUMP!
When last I checked, that "canal" only gives birth to things that we hasten to flush.
WHAT ARE WE DOING IN THIS HANDBASKET - AND WHERE THE HECK ARE WE GOING??
I know exactly where the proponents of this evil are going.
Remember the other story out of Maryland this week.
When it is all said and done, a woman is going to plead innocent in the deaths of several unborn children because they were actually self administered abortions and abortion is completely legal.
Woe be to those who would lead these little ones astray. It would be better for them to have a millstone tied around their neck and be cast into the sea.
Folks, if we don’t stand up to these perverts, we deserve the police state they seek.
As “sex ed” goes from teaching that men and women have sexual organs for reproducing with one another, so the teacher must bone up on sexual positions and fetishes of those who’s parts will never engage in reproductive sex.
Some would call this corrupting a minor. Just a few years ago, we were told that this was about consenting ADULTS in PRIVATE. It was a criminal act to even engage in it. Now students will be TESTED on it.
You wouldn't have to be a parent to have a basis for a lawsuit. Every taxpayer who is being forced to pay for this crap ought to file a suit.
Booklets from a subsidiary of the German government's Ministry for Family Affairs encourage parents to sexually massage their children as young as 1 to 3 years of age. Two 40-page booklets entitled "Love, Body and Playing Doctor" by the German Federal Health Education Center (Bundeszentrale für gesundheitliche Aufklärung - BZgA) are aimed at parents - the first addressing children from 1-3 and the other children from 4-6 years of age."Fathers do not devote enough attention to the clitoris and vagina of their daughters. Their caresses too seldom pertain to these regions, while this is the only way the girls can develop a sense of pride in their sex," reads the booklet regarding 1-3 year olds. The authors rationalize, "The child touches all parts of their father's body, sometimes arousing him. The father should do the same."
