Judge Rejects Lawsuit Over Sex Ed Curriculum
posted 5:00 pm Tue February 05, 2008 - Rockville
The decision, dated Thursday, dismissed a legal challenge from religious conservative groups who have fought revisions to the county's sex education lessons for six years. Those groups have said the lessons do not give enough credence to people who believe homosexuality is a sin.
The lawsuit, argued by the Ann Arbor, Mich.-based Thomas More Law Center, claimed the county was illegally teaching that homosexuality was innate and that a reference to anal intercourse violated state prohibitions on discussing "erotic techniques" in class.
