BOARD OK'S MD. SEX-ED PROGRAM: From the Washington Times

The Montgomery County public school system approved a curriculum yesterday in which 10th-graders will be shown how to put condoms on cucumbers, and eighth-graders will learn that homosexual couples are the newest American family.

The county school board voted 6-0 in favor of recommendations from the Citizens' Advisory Committee on Family Life and Human Development, despite opposition from parents. ...

The curriculum is a revision of previous ones and will be taught this spring to eighth- and 10th-graders in six schools. It defines a family as "two or more people who are joined together by emotional feelings or who are related to one another."

Same-sex parents are listed under the heading "kinds of families," along with eight other variations.

The new curriculum also includes detailed information about sexuality and "gender identity." Gender identity is defined as "a person's internal sense of knowing whether he or she is male or female."

The curriculum also will teach that "most experts in the field have concluded that sexual orientation is not a choice."
