The Washington Times reported today that the Montgomery County (MD) Board of Education has reached an agreement with a conservative parents group and a group of "former" homosexuals (see my May 6, 2005 post). The agreement says that the board must give Citizens for a Responsible Cirriculum and Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays (PFOX) each a place on the new cirruculum committee that will be responsible for drawing up the new sex ed cirriculum for the Montgomery County Schools. While the agreement does not guarantee the content of the cirriculum, it does guarantee that the groups will have a say in what is presented to the students (and how).
The schools are also responsible for paying the court costs that the 2 groups incurred in suing to stop the last flawed cirriculum.
Maybe if the school district had not copped such an attitude toward the parents that objected to said cirriculum, they wouldn't be in the situation where they are having to incurr this extra "cost". I hope that they (and school districts across the nation) have learned a valuable lesson in being responsive and responsible to their employers - the taxpayers of their district!
