An 11-year-old girl sits on a school district committee charged with recommending changes to sex education curriculum.
In June the Board of Education of Montgomery County, Md., appointed the seventh-grader to the Citizens Advisory Committee for Family Life and Human Development for a one-year term, reported WMAL Radio. Three other students also were appointed at the same time.
The station says Russell Henke, the county's coordinator of health education, confirmed the girl's participation in an e-mail.
"This is not the first middle school student to serve on this committee in the committee's 34-year history," Henke wrote.
Steve Fisher, a spokesman for the group Citizens for a Responsible Curriculum, questioned the appointment of the girl, who attends Takoma Park Middle School.
"Is it really appropriate for someone this young to be sitting on a committee advising on some very adult themes and topics and issues?" he asked.
WMAL reports Fisher's group opposes proposed changes to the sex-ed curriculum, which include the suggestions that homosexuality and "same-gender sex experimentation" are normal. The controversial plan also includes the viewing of a video showing a woman putting a condom on a cucumber.
Henke stressed any student who serves on the committee must first have parental permission.
Responded Fisher: "It is that parent's prerogative, and if the school has the rules and regulations that permit it, and the parent wants that child to [serve on the committee], there's nothing we can say against that. It's just that some of us are concerned about the young age at which these students are exposed to extremely adult themes in sex education."
According to the report, Each student that participates in the more controversial parts of the sex-ed curriculum, which is presented in the eighth and 10th grades, must have parental permission.

I know there are other issues here, but I can't get the image of Larry the Cucumber being suffocated by a condom...
This is a sick joke, right?
At times I think we live on different planets. (Blue state and red state people.)
The libs are just so whacked. I can't imagine the thought process, or lack thereof, that must have gone into this decision. This is just so wrong.
I hope this Henke guy isn't a relative of mine.
Why are first graders not represented???? Looks like case of blatant discrimination to me.
it is just crazy to have a some dumb kid on a panel to make recommendations about anything!
...or it may be just 'touchy-feely' pc crap!
How can they advise anything about sex? At their age, I didn't even know what it was and neither should they. This is as sick as the mock gay marriages to take place at a Calif high school. The perverts are pushing.
Where/What are this kid's parents?
Every day I think I've seen it all and every day something more stupid occurs.
Hey! You know what they say... "You can't fix stupid."
This is a crime!

"... A prominent psychiatrist says the sex-ed curricula at these schools can lower children "to the level of animals" and inflict lasting harm. "Massachusetts schools' systematic promotion of homosexuality and promiscuity fosters sexual confusion and experimentation," says Nathaniel S. Lehrman, former clinical director of the Kingsboro Psychiatric Center in New York. "They dilute and trivialize [the capacity for] faithful sexual passion which should [later] be the cement of these children's marriages. Unstable youngsters may become particularly vulnerable to homosexuals who actively recruit them."
There are teachers all over North America quietly mainstreaming homosexual behavior to children as young as 5 years old. As widely reported, on "Gay Days" classes are cancelled and students led to compulsory activities where homosexuals explain their "lifestyles..."
