A video depicting same-sex parents won’t be used as part of the third-grade curriculum this school year in Evesham.
The documentary titled “That’s a Family” was included in last year’s health curriculum to meet a state requirement on teaching diversity issues. But it was pulled after some parents in the Burlington County community objected.
School officials then formed a committee made up of parents, teachers and administrators to decide whether to use the video in future classes.
That panel recommended that the video be moved to the fourth-grade curriculum.
But school board members rejected that proposal last night and determined that the video wouldn’t be used this year.
