Homosexuality To Be Taught In Public Schools
The Montgomery County School system in the state of Maryland has decided to add sexual orientation to its sex education curriculum for eighth and 10th graders. This has been met with both criticism and praise.

According to the Associated Press this includes homosexuality, gender identity and the correct use of a condom. Hopefully they're not still using cucumbers for this exhibition, because quite frankly the girls will only end up being disappointed.

This is a bold and necessary step toward helping students cope with an uncertain time in their lives. Sexual education is important to the welfare of our future society and helps progression into a healthier 21st century.

This is being met with criticism, obviously, on the homosexuality aspect. One protester went as far to say that "I think their agenda is to get students to accept this stuff as normal, and it's not."

In case this man was not aware, homosexuality has not been labeled as a mental disorder since the early 1970s, so why shouldn't homosexuality be taught in our school systems? These students have been ostracized and bullied long enough. It is time for a change and we are supposedly in a period of acceptance, tolerance, and progression.
