Proponents of the new MCPS Board of Education's Sex-Ed curriculum love to say that religion and theology should not be a part of the new curriculum. One example of this is an op-ed in the Washington Examiner on February 14, where David Fishback, Chairman of the Montgomery County Public School Board of Education's Citizens Advisory Committee for Family Life and Human Development who wrote the new curriculum, defended it suggesting that other points of view about homosexuality - for example, that it is a choice -- do not belong in the curriculum. "Such theological debates have no place in the public school health curriculum" Fishback wrote. Another example is that of a pro-curriculum group, that claims "religious extremists are attempting to impose individual religious beliefs on all of our children".

So you think you would be surprised if religion is included in the new curriculum at all, right? Wrong, think again.

In the 'APPROVED' Planned Parenthood Lesson Plan resource for the new curriculum, children are asked if the following statement is True, or a Myth:

Loving people of the same sex is immoral (sinful).

Many religious denominations do not believe this. For example, in 2002 the Anglican Church of Canada began ritual blessings of same-sex unions.
