PHOENIX (AP) — A Phoenix-area school district will not edit a high school honors biology textbook to remove content to comply with a state law on abortion-related instructional material.
The Gilbert Unified School District board agreed during a meeting Tuesday to find an alternative solution that does not involve redacting the textbook, the Arizona Republic reported (http://bit.ly/1z4FP7y ).
Superintendent Christina Kishimoto had asked the board to reverse its request, saying editing the copyrighted book could open the district to legal issues.
At issue is a chapter in the textbook, "Campbell Biology: Concepts & Connections," that discusses abstinence, birth-control methods, tubal ligations and vasectomies, and drugs that can induce abortion.

ARTH ping!!!
Do they not review textbooks before they adopt (buy) them?
What does ARTH stand for? I couldn’t find it anywhere where it applies to abortion, and affiliated material.
In any event, I do NOT believe the school has the right to preach abortion to the students.
Another
Reason
To
Homeschool
Metmom has the ping list for it...
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Once i used the acronym and SoftballmominVA reported me to the moderator for using porn. Softballlmom in a fervent government school defender.
Sounds like we have ourselves a cat fight here
Does that make you a case of ARTH-rightist? (duckn & runnn)
So.. have you quit using porn?
I will not be responding to the content of your posts either now or in the future. Of course, if you continue to stalk me, others will see it for what it is.
I hope so, I'd hate to waste the effort.
Notice, hg, that we have all been asked not to ping someone on this thread, but it is acceptable for that poster to do so.
Don’t let facts get in the way of vitriolic opinion; you could be seen as nasty and a bully as you turn tail and run away.
Anyway, may your shots ring true. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
That you want to bring me into a random post out of nowhere is reprehensible. Go peddle your philosophy and viewpoints to anyone that may want to listen to you, but leave me out of it. I want absolutely nothing to do with you in any capacity.
...and in the event, I wasn’t clear....
do not ping me
do not bump me
do not reference me in any form or in any way
do not even think about me in your day-to-day life
leave me alone, 100% completely, in every possible form
Hey buddy....hope the little guy is doing well
hugs to you and yours this Christmas time
