Gay rights groups told a California state commission Wednesday that they object to several of the textbooks that could be recommended for use in schools, saying the books don’t include enough information about the contributions of LGBT Americans.
The state Department of Education is preparing to update textbook recommendations for the first time since California became the first state to require teaching about the contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

Why stop there?

So these freaks think that BEING A FREAK made them achieve???
There is always something more.

I was thinking the same thing.
A page devoted to their accomplishments would be blank.
