MCPS Spokesman Waaaayy Off Target


Take a look at today's Washington Times Metro article, “Parents file suit to stop sex-ed”. MCPS spokesman, Brian Edwards says something really incredible:

“We believe this curriculum takes a reasonable approach to the issue and that everyone’s viewpoints were carefully considered when creating it.”

WHAT!?! Just read how the MCPS Sex-Ed Committee and the Chairman who wrote it stopped all consideration of ANY materials that did not actively and forcefully advocate the pro-gay agenda.

This ridiculous statement is a complete misrepresentation, falsehood, and wrong description of the curriculum and the biased teacher resources that serve as its foundation.

The MCPS Spokesman is totally ignoring the thousands (!!) of parents who have been trying to make their views known since November (makes one wonder if the MCPS Board of Education hopes we all just go away or move out of town or something, as they allow under age children to live in a real R-rated movie while at school).

There are HUGE voids in the curriculum. Missing is any indication that many religions consider homosexual activity wrong, whereas the teacher resources INCLUDE an obscure church in Canada that sanctions homosexual behavior.

Also missing are the health risks associated with gay sex, yet the concept that homosexuality is not a choice IS taught.

A truly “reasonable” approach would include the WHOLE TRUTH about the topic for students. This curriculum is so one-sided that it appears the school system is trying to advocate for a homosexual lifestyle, and this is why parents feel strongly enough to sue them.
