another setback for the homosexual agenda

[rone]

A federal judge on Thursday blocked a county school system from instituting a health curriculum that includes discussions of homosexuality.

U.S. District Judge Alexander Williams agreed with two groups that sued contending such discussions gave preference of religions that are tolerant of homosexuality over those that reject it.

Religions that are tolerant of homosexuality... like, what, Buddhism?  I love how fundamentalist Christian groups are using freedom of religion as a mallet in their fight against gays, as well as in their push to establish Creationism as a legitimate science.  "Your message of tolerance oppresses my religious right to hate fags and evolution!  Filthy hippays!"

In this case, Defendants [Montgomery Co. Schools] open up the classroom to the subject of homosexuality, and specifically, the moral rightness of the homosexual lifestyle. However, the Revised Curriculum presents only one view on the subject - that homosexuality is a natural and morally correct lifestyle - to the exclusion of other perspectives...

This insane trend that you may teach something only if you also include any and all opposing viewpoints must be stamped out.  Seriously, what's the next step?  Teaching Alexander Abian's "Equivalence of Mass and Time" as part of any quantum mechanics class?

God. That's the school system I went through. Which had no fewer than three sex ed classes spread over twelve grades, and a volunteer organization (of which I was a member) that taught AIDS awareness, among other things.

And all that was in the 1980s and 1990s. Never thought I'd see the day when MCPS would be this regressive. Christ.

(Wait. Yes, I would. This is the same school system that used bussing to overcome demographics when I was a kid, in order to avoid the appearance of racial segregation in school enrollment. It's a long, ugly story, including the bit where a reporter for a local paper accused my mother of being racist because she thought magnet program enrollment shouldn't take student race into account. So never mind.)
