Maryland’s New Show and Tell ....................................................................... Accuracy in Academia ^ \| May 19, 2014 \| Tony Perkins . Yesterday, the Montgomery County, Maryland, School Board took up the issue in a debate over the district’s health curriculum. Not surprisingly, there were calls for an even greater emphasis on sexual orientation, as well as introducing the topic to students earlier than ever before. In the current curriculum, kids are asked to reflect on things like “the benefits of ‘coming out,’” and the harms of “homophobia… which can he shown in mild ways like laughing at a gay joke.” “Children are not born hating. They learn to hate and fear from messages they receive while growing up,” read one section. One of the proposed videos even includes a positive look at transgenderism. “Your sexual orientation cannot change,” the text insists. “If you were attracted to women, and all of the sudden, you’re attracted to a man, it’s because you just became aware of your true orientation.” If liberals get their way, the indoctrination could begin as earlier as this fall with middle schoolers. For the County, the fireworks over sex ed are nothing new. Since 2005, parents have been in a tug-of-war over the content of the lessons, even going so far as to sue the state over the suggestion that homosexuality is innate. In the meantime, curriculum like Montgomery County’s is just the tip of the iceberg for the changes same-sex “marriage” will bring to a classroom near you. Make sure you know how to spot these agendas in your district. Click here to download a free copy of FRC’s booklet, “Homosexuality in Your Child’s School.”

>> My assumptions about the US is that its a racist country that favors whites. That means with all things being equal, whites will do better than non whites. Its called white privilege. White privilege? How about the welfare state, which has held blacks back for decades and created a sense of entitlement that few can escape from?

Ted, There was a study done roughly ten years ago that showed that Asians in CA despite being better educated than CA whites made less money per year. Ten says that's no longer true. Did I? I can believe the results of that study. It's not like Asians have been in prominent positions of power until just recently. Tenchusatsu
