Maryland School Board Bans Fliers From Nonprofits Following Ex-Gay Controversy | The Montgomery County Board of Education Policy Committee has responded to the controversy surrounding one group’s campaign to distribute fliers about ex-gay therapy to middle and high school students by recommending that nonprofits no longer be allowed to hand out literature in the schools.
