Weast contemplates gay sex program for kids

"After years of debate and revision, Maryland’s Montgomery County Public Schools are poised to approve a gay-inclusive sex education curriculum," the Washington Blade reports.

In a story headlined "Mont. County readies gay-inclusive curriculum," the Blade says, "A committee tasked with reviewing the lessons for eighth and 10th grade students approved it Wednesday. District officials must still review the curriculum, which was praised by pro-gay activists."

"The curriculum — which has gone to district Superintendent Jerry Weast for administrative review — is scheduled for board action Jan. 9.

"District spokesperson Brian Edwards said board members could approve the new curriculum at that meeting."
