Cucumber Heaven

The Dawn Patrol has a pithy post about the sex-ed battle raging in Maryland. It's so good, we have shamelessly copied the whole thing below, but we're not going to provide her links. If you want those, go see her site. LINK

The new Montgomery County, Md., public-school sex-ed curriculum–a homosexual-friendly affair that features a video of a blonde teen chirping about anal sex as she strokes a condom down a cucumber–is disturbing parents, for some reason.

A cucumber-friendly article by the editor of one of the county's high-school papers offers a curious quote from Christine Grewell, an advocate for the new curriculum:

"I think it's good not to marginalize [gay] students," [Grewell] says, adding that the opposition's fear of "normalizing" homosexuality is unfounded. "We study World War II, but we don't normalize the Nazis."

Comparing homosexuals to Nazis–who took a decidedly dim view of homosexuality–is not the language of a liberal with a whole lot on the ball.

Then again, anyone who'd support the cucumber video would have to be out of their gourd.
