Montgomery set on pilot sex-ed class
Posted on December 19th, 2004 by Anthony K. Valley
A pilot sex-education program that teaches “teaches homosexuality is genetically predetermined and that same-sex couples are one type of family.”
A group of Montgomery County parents yesterday asked the school board to delay implementation of a pilot sex-education program this spring that teaches homosexuality is genetically predetermined and that same-sex couples are one type of family.
Board members said the pilot program would go forward.
“The whole point of the pilot is to get public discussion and review, and we’re moving forward with the pilot,” said Sharon Cox, Germantown Democrat, who yesterday was replaced as president of the board by Patricia O’Neill, Bethesda Democrat.
Michelle Turner of Citizens for Responsible Curriculum testified to the board at its monthly meeting that a “broad and diverse membership of concerned parents” want a sex-education curriculum that is “more representative, responsive and moderate.”
