Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland is defending and standing by its decision to allow the distribution of fliers from the “ex-gay” group PFOX (Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays which also just happens to be headquartered in Montgomery County, MD) to students at Einstein High School in Rockville, Maryland not because they believe in it (or so they say) but because “the board of education policy allows materials and announcements from non-profit community organizations to be distributed at four designated times during the school year,”
Perhaps a non-profit abortion clinic should distribute flyer’s next quarter and see if the Board of Education has no problem with that.
Feel free to let MCPS know how you feel about them allowing a non-profit hate group like PFOX distribute possibly harmful pamphlets to children. Because if you don’t. No one else will. CLICK HERE
