Parents in the Alameda, Calif., school district who have been told their children will be required to undergo a controversial homosexual instruction program have sued the district to protect their children from the indoctrination.
The action was filed this week by Pacific Justice Institute, which said it will defend the parents' rights to remove their children from such programs.
WND earlier reported when the district was accused of violating federal law for approving a mandatory homosexual curriculum for children as young as 5 ? without allowing parents to opt out of the lessons.
The mandatory program, officially titled "LGBT Lesson #9," was approved May 26 by the Alameda County Board of Education by a vote of 3-2. Students from kindergarten through fifth grade are scheduled to learn about "tolerance" for the homosexual lifestyle beginning next school year.
