Sex-Ed Panel Aims to Sway Lessons on Gays

The debate on the sex education curriculum in the People's Republic of Montgomery County, already strange enough, continues to get more interesting. A new group is joining the fray, making more unlikely that the curriculum is going to be relevant on any level. Teachthefacts.org is "seeking representation on an advisory committee that will work with the school system on devising the lessons. The school board will select the committee next month."

I am all for diverse representation on the advisory panel, but how many groups are going to be represented and how with the panel make any sort of consensus recommendation. At the very least, we are looking at years of lawsuits in the near future as every group not selected will sue, every groups whose viewpoints are not represented in the recommendations will sue, and you can be assured that someone will not like the curriculum (when ever it comes out) and will sue. Sounds like a good time to be a lawyer in Montgomery County. I wonder if anyone is hiring?
