Under pressure from a federal lawsuit, the Montgomery County School Board in Maryland voted to scrap a controversial sex-education curriculum that derided certain religious groups as "homophobic" and presented inaccurate material.
One of the groups that brought the lawsuit, Citizens for a Responsible Curriculum, or CRC, charged that the old committee was filled with homosexual advocates.
CRC and Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays were represented in the lawsuit by Florida-based Liberty Counsel, which called the board's decision a "good first step in the right direction toward resolution of the issues in this case."
Liberty Counsel President and General Counsel Mat Staver cautioned, however, that other issues remain before the case can be completely settled. But he said the board's actions "send a strong message that other school districts should heed."
