NEWARK – The Worcester County Board of Education voted unanimously this week to oppose a controversial health education bill.
After hearing from citizens both in support of and against the health education legislation known as House Bill 119, the school board unanimously approved a motion to send a letter of opposition to legislators. While public outcry against the bill has focused on aspects of the health framework itself, school board member Bill Buchanan said his motion for opposition was rooted in the fact curriculum should be set by local school systems.
“I’m in agreement with MABE, the Maryland Association of Boards of Education, stance on this bill that it is unnecessary and that it sets a bad precedent for content standards, curriculum and other instructional materials to become the subject of legislation – I’m going to underline – versus the work of local school systems where it belongs,” he said.
Numerous parents and community members attended Tuesday’s Worcester County Board of Education meeting to share their views on House Bill 119, which would require the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) to develop a comprehensive health education framework and would have local school systems develop age-appropriate curriculum consistent with that framework. Opponents of the bill, including the Worcester County Commissioners, have criticized it for pushing gender identification and human sexuality onto students too early.
Parent Kate Hulme told the board she supported the bill and an inclusive curriculum.
Interesting. The default opt out option is best. If you don’t hear from the parent, it’s an opt out. They hope you don’t notice so they can teach this garbage, on the opt in standard. Putting more stress on family dynamics seems to be the goal of these liberal lunatics.
