CRC Statement, December 14, 2005
Dear CRC Friends,
On Tuesday, December 13, 2005, the Montgomery County School Board elected its new president and vice president. They are: Charles Haughey, President and Sharon Cox, Vice President.
As you all know, both elected representatives approved the now-scrapped revisions to the sex ed curriculum which would have allowed the instruction of homosexuality, bisexuality and transgender for 12 year olds in the eighth grade. Also included at the tenth grade level was a video depicting the correct way to handle and put on a condom and instruction to use one for anal and oral sex. The video contained many inaccuracies regarding STD’s and rates of pregnancy with condom use.
Mrs. Cox has stated publicly that homosexuality is “mainstream” and needs to be taught to the students as a way to deter bullying in the public schools and help maintain a safe environment.
The Montgomery County public school system does not maintain any records regarding bullying or harassment of students in the schools. This was discovered after CRC requested all data from the school system on reported cases/causes of bullying. According to the latest national records collected by the FBI, the largest percentage of cases related to hate crimes were those involving religion and or race.
