Take Action!
Great news! Because of the efforts of parents like you who took action and used your voice to ask MSDE to remove the topics of gender identity and sexual orientation from the MD Family Life framework, we have made headway!
I am happy to say that the new recommended Family Life framework for Maryland removes references to gender in grades Pre-K through 4.
They have recommended teaching those concepts in grades 5-12.
If you agree that introducing these concepts should be up to the parents, and that the concepts of "sex assigned at birth" or "gender identity" are not based in science, please click the link below to comment. The state board will be reviewing the comments to make a decision on the final draft of this framework. Please be specific and ask that lessons on gender identity and sexual orientation be removed from all grades, Pre-K through 12.

Please spread the word! We want hundreds of comments in favor of returning our schools to places that educate based on facts, and where parents control values based conversations with their children.
Thank you for being involved!

Happy Hanukkah

A Christmas Dilemma
(1)
By Lori Jaffe (With apologies to Clement C. Moore)
‘Twas the night before Christmas, Saint Nick wasn’t well.
Mrs. Claus called the elves with the ring of a bell.
“He’s down for the count; we’re in this too deep.”
The elves all fell silent, not even a peep.
“But what shall we do?!” came the cry from above,
“That’s a very good question,” said the Mrs. with love.
“We must get the presents to all of the kids
This won’t be easy, but we can’t hit the skids.”
