SCHOOLS WITH PRO-GAY SEX ED GET HAULED INTO COURT

At last, a sensible court ruling about outrageously pro-homosexuality sex education courses in public schools: a federal judge in Montgomery, Md., has blocked the use of controversial sex ed materials for the rest of this school year because it is biased, unfair, inaccurate and boneheaded.

Well, he didn’t exactly say THAT, but that is the gist.

That’s a good thing. Here’s hoping that common sense, and calling a spade a spade, will spread into Nebraska schools, and soon.

An irate grassroots parents group hauled the public school district into court over the curriculum, which graphically discusses condom use and affirms homosexuality. It describes Christian groups that oppose homosexuality as "intolerant and biblically misguided,” and implies that Christians are causing hatred and oppression against gays.

It is almost laughable, but the curriculum seeks to teach students that homosexuality is inborn, innate, and can’t be changed – which flies in the face of scientific evidence and the clinical results of thousands of people who were able to leave behind the homosexual lifestyle after counseling.

U.S. District Judge Alexander Williams ruled that the curriculum gave preferential treatment to pro-homosexual advocates. "The court is extremely troubled by the willingness of the defendants to venture, or perhaps more correctly, bound," he said, "into the crossroads of controversy where religion, morality and homosexuality converge."

According to news accounts, a video accompanying the sex ed curriculum informs students that "buying condoms isn't as scary as you might think," then adds, "Sometimes it is hard to choose, though, and it can be a little overwhelming at first."

It then offers suggestions for how to choose the "right condom" — in the most graphic terms possible.

It maintains that “sex play” among adolescents of the same gender is normal and harmless, and that adopting gay identity and behavior is no more “sick” or “abnormal” than being left-handed.
The curriculum is targeted toward junior high and high school students.

Mat Staver, chief counsel of the religious-liberties law firm Liberty Counsel, brought the suit on behalf of concerned parents. He said the parents’ group tried to add a balanced point of view, offering rebuttal information and the perspectives of ex-gay people and so forth, but the school district turned that down.

"This curriculum is one of the most liberal, pro-homosexual agendas I've ever seen in the public schools," he said.
