6th grade history project about Harvey Milk's accomplishments censored as "sex education"

''This whole thing is unbelievable - first my daughter got called into the principal's office as if she were in some kind of trouble, and then they treated her presentation like it was something icky. Harvey Milk was an elected official in this state and an important person in history. To say my daughter's presentation is 'sex education' because Harvey Milk happened to be gay is completely wrong.''

Bonnie Jones, mother of Natalie Jones, a elementary school student who did a research project about Harvey Milk after seeing Sean Penn win an Academy Award. The ACLU intends to seek an official apology and the opportunity for Jones to present her project to the class. (Examiner)
