Md. district dodges challenge of gay-inclusive lessons

The curriculum, titled "Respect for Differences in Human Sexuality," explains concepts like sexual identity and orientation using nonjudgmental language.


Students in eighth grade are taught to recognize healthy relationships and how to define human sexuality, gender identity and other terms. Students in 10th grade receive a more robust curriculum, including an examination of topics such as coming out. It also asks students to consider the challenges a transgender student might face.


The curriculum represents the district's second attempt to rewrite its sex education program.
