Group Claims Sex Ed Curriculum Will Lead To Religious Discrimination

Conservative groups are raising a new kind of religious objection to Montgomery County, Maryland's sexual education curriculum. A group called Citizens for Responsible Curriculum argues that the new curriculum will lead to intolerance against those who oppose homosexuality on religious grounds. Today's Examiner reports that Maryland Circuit Court Judge William Rowan III yesterday refused to enjoin the schools from implementing the curriculum while challenges to it are pending. An appeal of the Maryland State Board of Education's approval of the curriculum will be heard by the court in January.
