HOMO-LEANING SEX-ED COURSE HALTED: MARYLAND JUDGE
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
"’I have directed the office of the deputy superintendent of schools to review and evaluate the materials referenced in the judge's order, Superintendent Jerry D. Weast said, ...before any decisions are made about any future pilot testing of the revised curriculum in our schools.’"
So Montgomery County Public Schools leadership influenced, according to Jon Ward of The Washington Times.
Morally based parents and students have fought off an experimental sex-ed course that was scheduled to start today. But the federal judge "ruled in favor of a lawsuit that charged the course is unconstitutional and promotes homosexuality."
Perhaps other judges will get the message.
Parents are not going to sit idly by while liberal instructors and administration carry off their children. They’re going to check out the instruction, the instructors and the leadership. They’re going to attend every class. They’re going to review the students’ texts and the teachers’ manuals. They’re going to connect with the press. They’re going to make certain that that which is inappropriate gets removed as well as never gets another start-up in public schools.
Therefore, this win in Maryland is a major plus for parents’ power in the public school system. May all mothers and fathers nationwide take note, study the particulars and see that the same dittos are implanted where they live.
"U.S. District Judge Alexander Williams Jr. had granted a 10-day temporary restraining order yesterday to halt the teaching of the new course.
"Mr. Weast also said that he is suspending the use of ‘Protect Yourself’ -- the video where a woman demonstrates condom use with a cucumber -- pending further investigation by the schools.
"Judge Williams agreed with the two groups that filed the lawsuit -- Citizens for a Responsible Curriculum (CRC) and Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays (PFOX) -- who argued that the curriculum is biased toward homosexuality and dismisses religious perspectives on the subject."
America can thank God for the Red States’ win last November. It has set loose ethically moored parents into high gear to counter the religious and political liberalism that engulfed the country, including especially the public schools.
Moral citizens wondered prior to last November’s Republican victory if they stood a chance. Hollywood had turned against them. Some of their own churches had turned against them. Surely the press was known as the mainstream media falsehood manufacturer. Town hall, the public school, judges — all these foundational supports were under suspect as Americans attempted to scratch and claw for some wall to lean against, some flooring to stand on.
But now with US President George W. Bush in the Oval Office, morally sensitive citizens have concluded they stand a chance for bringing the nation to sensibility, decency, and a healthy approach to everyday living. There is much ground yet to cover-cleanse, much Clintonian years to unravel, yet there is a beginning.
"Montgomery County Public Schools ‘open up the classroom to the subject of homosexuality, and specifically, the moral rightness of the homosexual lifestyle,’ the judge wrote in his decision. ‘However, the Revised Curriculum presents only one view on the subject -- that homosexuality is a natural and morally correct lifestyle -- to the exclusion of other perspectives.
"’The public interest is served by preventing [school officials] from promoting particular religious beliefs in the public schools and preventing [the officials] from disseminating one-sided information on a controversial topic,’ Judge Williams wrote."
Citizens for a Responsible Curriculum (CRC) and Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays (PFOX) stood up to the unbalanced agenda, working day and night in order to bring awareness to the community and action from the powers-that-be.
"This is beyond our wildest dreams. Who could ever have imagined this?" CRC President Michelle Turner said. "The board totally capitulated. We won big-time."
It’s as if the "little person" has finally been heard. That’s the feeling the moral advocates feel today. They have finally made a dent, got the right end of the horn, and heard from a level-headed judge. It’s hard for them to believe; nevertheless, they are most pleased with what they are hearing.
"Turner said her group brought the lawsuit because the school board refused to meet with the members even after they presented more than 4,000 petition signatures last month opposing the course.
"Erik W. Stanley, a lawyer representing CRC, said the teacher resources supplied by groups such as Planned Parenthood were not, as the schools said, peripheral to the curriculum.
"’They are as much a part of the curriculum as the curriculum itself,’ he said during a 90-minute hearing at U.S. District Court in Greenbelt yesterday."
Of course, Planned Parenthood can be expected a front row seat wherever a sex-ed course is going to be taught in the public schools. When teaching in a public school, I was aware of the influence that PP had in that particular alternative learning context.
For instance, posters depicting the liberal position on sex-ed were freely placed throughout the building. And on field trips, it was not unthinkable for a fellow teacher to stop by PP office in the city for the students to load up their pockets with condoms.
Go figure. There’s still a lot of ground yet to cover-cleanse, morally sensitive citizenry. So carry on. And in the meantime, remember what was done in Montgomery County.
