We are guilty as charged.

PFOX was on the Curriculum Advisory Committee that drafted the sex ed program. The CAC approved teacher resources that recommended gay-affirming religions and organizations such as Rainbow Baptists, yet rejected one brochure PFOX submitted because it listed the Web sites of a few ex-gay ministries.

PFOX submitted ex-gay resources that were rejected in favor of gay resources.

The CAC approved materials published by gay advocacy groups that positively portray homosexuals while making negative references to ex-gays by attempting to discredit our experiences and choices. So where's the tolerance?

The CAC approved a Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) resource, but rejected our PFOX resources.

In the curriculum's explanation of sexual orientation, the CAC included the terms for homosexual, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, questioning, intersexed and coming out, but refused to insert ex-gay. So where's the diversity?

In a Nov. 1 letter to Superintendent Jerry Weast and the school board, we detailed our objections to the proposed sex-ed program and warned that its implementation could trigger a lawsuit. The board approved the program over PFOX's objections. Consequently, PFOX obtained the services of Liberty Counsel to preserve our constitutional rights. The judge rightly ruled in our favor and against a biased and one-sided presentation of sexual orientation.
