Is the bar for acceptable sexual behavior still too high? You would think so when reading a recent Washington Post article titled \u201cA More Candid Approach to Sex-Ed.\u201d <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>As many parents know, most sex-ed classes are already candid enough, thank you very much. The last thing we need is for anyone to spice them up or further complicate what should be a pretty simple subject. But that\u2019s what schools in Montgomery County, Maryland plan to do by introducing lessons on homosexuality to 8th and 10th graders &#8212; lessons that serve to further the radical homosexual activist agenda. <\/p>\n<p>Those in 8th grade, for example, may be asked to ponder their \u201cgender identity.\u201d Is this the same thing as your actual gender, which should be, ummm, obvious by this time? No. Students are told that it\u2019s \u201cyour identification of yourself as a man or a woman, based on the gender you feel to be inside.\u201d You could be a boy trapped in a girl\u2019s body, or vice versa. Or something in between, it seems. Since when did knowing one\u2019s gender get so \u2026 difficult? My goodness, isn\u2019t there enough out there to confuse our children without asking them to question whether they are really a boy or truly a girl? Have we gone mad?<\/p>\n<p>Whatever your true identity, though, you can bet it is \u201cinnate,\u201d the 8th graders are told. To be certain they understand, the curriculum defines \u201cinnate\u201d as \u201cdetermined by factors present in an individual from birth.\u201d In short, gays are born, not made, so \u201cstraights\u201d can\u2019t say homosexuality or bisexuality is wrong. (Does that apply to those who prefer bestiality or pedophilia? Just wondering \u2026) What\u2019s needed, then, is \u201ctolerance,\u201d which the curriculum says is \u201cthe ability to accept others\u2019 differences and allow them to be who they are without expressing disapproval.\u201d Does the same logic apply to other abnormal or harmful behaviors? Do we say, \u201cOh, so you\u2019re an alcoholic &#8212; good for you!\u201d Or, \u201cTendencies toward kleptomania? Well, don\u2019t let me stand in your way!\u201d?
