The family is the original cell of social life. It is the natural society in which husband and wife give themselves to each other. Authority, stability, and a life of relationships within the family constitute the foundations for human freedom, security, and fraternity within our society. The breakdown of the American society is demonstrative of the breakdown of the family.

Ask you yourself this question; “Does the Montgomery County Public Schools Board of Education want to reinforce families and their influence in life and society in America, or break them down, by 'redefining' the family?

FACT: The MCPS Board of Education will be telling children this spring that:

Families are “two or more people who are joined together by emotional feelings or who are related to one another.”

Why is the Board of Education arbitrarily changing the meaning of family as it has existed in ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY to include virtually any human relationship, with or without commitment, with or without legal status, and without regard to the values of the citizens of Montgomery County?

Is it because same sex parent families are listed in the curriculum as a 'kind of family', and the only way to include them is to redefine the family? The Board of Education's ONLY support for this inclusion in the curriculum are the statements; "American families are becoming more complex and the greater variety of households encourages open mindedness in society"”, because, "[t]he year 2000 U.S. Census showed a significant increase in nontraditional households and family configurations." The rest of the curriculum is silent to this issue.

In light of all this, here's another question; Is the Board of Education conducting 'sex-education', or 're-education'? And is this new teaching as hostile to the family and American society today as the re-education camps in Soviet Union and Vietnam were to those poor souls who were ‘'entrusted to the care of THEIR government’'? Didn't those governments try to break down the existing society and its traditions, and remold people to 'their way of thinking'?

The role of Montgomery County Public Schools is NOT to redefine society to 'their way of thinking'! It is NOT to indoctrinate children to the Board of Education's 'arbitrary decisions'! Why would they want to do that anyway?

Maybe...because...the Montgomery County Board of Education wants to normalize same sex couples? If so, that is not definition (as they claim), it is advocacy.

You can almost hear it now:

"Good morning class. Welcome to Montgomery County Public Schools' re-education course for 8th and 10th graders. Did everyone remember to leave your family's teaching on committment, values, morality, tradition, and truth at the door before you came in?"

You decide.
