NARAL Wants the New Curriculum
The Maryland Chapter of the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) is encouraging its followers to write the MCPS Board of Education because:

Right-wing fundamentalists from outside our community are targeting the Montgomery County School Board's decision to include comprehensive sex education in 8th and 10th grade health education courses.

[and, therefore they should...]

...applaud the Montgomery County School Board's efforts toward responsible sex education in our schools. Send a message of support to school board President Patricia O'Neill today by clicking here! [emphasis added]

The above could be seen as: 'When you have no legitimate argument to make, start calling people names. Then use friendly sounding words like 'responsible', and, 'comprehensive', to try to get the public to think you are acting approriately.'

Well it may sadden NARAL to know that the CRC is not a bunch of "Right-wing fundamentalists from outside our community...". The CRC represents the MAINSTREAM, from INSIDE our COMMUNITY.

WHY? Because as more and more citizens of Montgomery County hear about what's going on, they are SHOCKED. The fact is, most people who live in Montgomery County still DON'T KNOW what the BOE has done (I wonder why?).

The CRC is right here inside Montgomery County, people who live downcounty (yes downcounty!), upcounty, and midcounty. And the CRC is THE organization that stands for "...responsible sex education in our schools".
