The cucumber curriculum

Now that Justice Anthony Kennedy has ruled that our moral, ethical, even legal framework in the matter of capital punishment for murderers under 18 is to be determined by "evolving standards," let us move on to another application of that flawed philosophy: sex.In the produce section of the grocery store, the lowly cucumber is about to achieve an elevated position in some Montgomery County, Md., public schools. Montgomery County has long been known as a "bedroom community" in the affluent Washington, D.C., suburbs - an appropriate moniker given what young students are about to be taught.
The school system announced last week that a new sex curriculum will be introduced this spring for three middle schools and three high schools. Students will be taught how to put a condom on a cucumber. They will also be taught that homosexual couples are the newest American "family."

Smut for thee, but not for me This is absolutely unbelievable. It appears Montgomery County (Maryland) public schools can implement a new sex education curriculum singing the praises of <A href="http://www.therightreport.com/bothwell/2005/03/liberal_indoctr.html">condom use and homosexuality, and, apparently, teaching about anal sex (http://www.therightreport.com/bothwell/2005/03/update_on_new_m.html), but state taxpayers who write the school board to complain of such trash are being censored due to inappropriate content in their emails!
