In related Maine marriage news, the state's Attorney General released a statement yesterday in response to a request from Education Commissioner Susan Gendron after claims by anti-gay groups that the state's marriage equality laws would somehow affect teaching in schools.
Said AG Janet Mills: "Whatever the benefits and burdens of the civil institution of marriage,the state’s definition of marriage has no bearing on the curricula inour public schools, either under the current law or under LD 1020."
