It probably has been. This is just a small drop in the bucket of what is going on nationally. This is only one incident. This is happening all over in many ways.

A seven-minute video designed for 10th-graders shows a girl putting a condom on a cucumber.

I feel sorry for the 10th grade boys in Montgomery County. After all, from now on, the girls are going to compare them to cucumbers. Not many guys can win that comparison!

"This twisted, demented, deviant crap being forced on public school students is outrageous."

There was a time in the recent past, that presenting such material to underage children was considered as " corruption of minors" and was a punishable offense with jail time and fines.

If you or I approached young children on the streets with this kind of material we would probably be arrested for just such an attempt (the corruption of minors), but if the public schools do it then it is ok. NOT!!!

FOR THEM BEAUTIFUL BAPTISTS!

[Noumenon]

Those who formulate, advocate and teach this filth should have their homes burned to the ground and then be driven into the wilderess.

[mlc9852]

Yeah, they should probably use those little sweet pickles - lol.

[GrandEagle]

Having these guys call us "theologically flawed" is probably the biggest complement they could deliver!

We all need a victory in the "culture war" from time to time!

... and this fellow conservative Catholic adds:

You've got that right! Testify sister!!!

BTW, if there's an up-side to the current struggle against same-sex 'marriage' and the radical gay agenda now on-going up here in Canada, it's that it's most certainly united all of God's people!

If they had been in the group that left Egypt a few thousand years ago to wander the dessert, they would have been buried almost immediately after their home was burned to the ground if you understand what I mean ?????

When my boys were 10 and 7, we decided to let our cat have one litter of kittens before we got her spayed. So we found a likely male, and he mated Fuzzy without any further incentive right there on our front lawn--- and the boys caught it all from our front window.

Later I gave them a short explanation of the Way of All Mammals. Voila.

See? Fifteen minute course. Didn't even need a biology book. There's the beautyof homeschooling.

The moral and spirtual aspects they get --- not from a specialized "Abstinence Course" (some of which I think are a little off in their emphasis) but by-the-by as we study (1) the Commandments (2) the Beatitudes (3) the Sacrments (4) the Vices and Virtues and (5) the Lives of the Saints.

Jerkin' the gherkin is a favorite pastime of boys.

[Bluegrass Conservative]

Jerkin' the gherkin is a favorite pastime of boys.

I don't know if I would say "favorite". I think they would prefer other activities. LOL

[GrandEagle]

AMEN!
While we don't homeschool (I wish we did) we are able to send our children to a Christian School - the second best thing to home schooling IMHO. Daily Bible study and honest discussion with GODLY PARENTS is essential.

Lets get this judge promoted. Good for Maryland.

BUMP

[IamConservative]

Seems ironic that these people find the need to teach human reproduction, a subject virtually everyone excels at naturally and without education/prompting, while we continue to slip behind in math, science and engineering.

Suppose a 16 year old boy ever got the urge to build a space shuttle when the wind blew?

[KC_for_Freedom]

They only want to "teach" sex education because it gives them the floor to lay out their "vision" that all forms of sex are OK and any form or variation of gender, homosexuality, etc. are supposed to be "normal". And this is all part of the vision of a world government with leftist socialists in charge, making rules for us and giving goodies to themselves.

As for him being a Clinton appointee, I don't believe Clinton was head over heels for the homosexual movement. Was he?

[GMMAC]

Socialists especially despise any form of religious Faith and convention/traditional - functional - families because, since they want everyone totally dependent upon the state for even emotional needs, both amount to "the competition".

Into this mix add the open hatred and resentment which homosexuals of both genders have toward heterosexual males in general and fathers in particular and it explains a game plan that includes everything from pro-deviant 'sex-eduacation' to gender-bigoted 'family' Courts to male-bashing television ads and shows.

Unfortunately, many conservatives don't seem to realize that Faith and Family are the left's #1 targets and slandering Churches, belittling Faith and demonizing men and otherwise promoting acrimony between the sexes are its 'weapons of choice'.

"As for him being a Clinton appointee, I don't believe Clinton was head over heels for the homosexual movement. Was he?

To me, what's surprising is that 'slick Willie' appointed someone with apparent respect for - and more than a nodding acquaintance with - the U.S. Constitution - LOL!

What amazes me is the Montgomery County Maryland is filled with Jews and yet it seems that it's still such a liberal place to live.

I hang out with a bunch of MC Jewish soccer moms and it amazes me to. They're pretty conservative but they they pay absolutely no attention to the news or politics. They are always dumbfounded when they have something socialist forced upon them.("A Democrat is not suppose to do that!") I guess they vote for the rats cuz mom and grandma did. That's the only thing I can figure out.
