Just as the media is widely reporting on the Truth Wins Out investigation that exposed Marcus Bachmann's "ex-gay" therapy, comes word that the State of California has approved the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) to give continuing education credits to therapists and psychologists as part of their licensing requirements.

Karen Ocamb of LGBTPOV reports that Katie Doyon, a school psychologist and licensed educational psychologist in California, has discovered that the California Board of Behavioral Sciences is listing NARTH as an accredited provider of continuing education credits for California therapists and psychologists.
