California Legislature Approves Gay Day in Public Schools

California Legislature Approves Gay Day in Public Schools
Democrats send AB 2567 to Governor Schwarzenegger


Sacramento, California – Campaign for Children and Families (CCF), a leading California organization protecting parents’ rights and children’s innocence, condemns the passage of AB 2567, which will instruct all California public schools to “conduct suitable commemorative exercises” in support of the anti-religious, sexual-anarchy agenda of the late San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk.

Today, the California Assembly passed AB 2567 on a 43 to 26 vote, Democrats for, Republicans silently against. Earlier this week, AB 2567 passed the California State Senate on a 22-13 vote, Democrats for, Republicans against. AB 2567 now goes to Governor Schwarzenegger, whose position is unknown.

“If signed into law, AB 2567 will mean an official day commemorating homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality in California government schools,” said CCF President Randy Thomasson. “This will harm children as young as children as young as kindergarten. Every May 22, AB 2567 will positively portray to children homosexual experimentation, homosexual ‘marriages,’ sex-change operations, and anything else that’s ‘in the closet.’ Governor Schwarzenegger should say no to this very inappropriate bill, which has nothing to do with academic excellence.”

AB 2567 comes on the heels of last year’s school sexual indoctrination laws. When fully implemented, SB 777 and AB 394 will teach children in California government schools to support homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality via instructional materials, programs and activities, and school “safety” guidelines. In addition, the California State School Board this year implemented SB 71, requiring public schools that provide sex education to promote unmarried sexual activity with no restraints other than mutual consent.

“AB 2567 will further motivate parents to remove their children from the immoral public school system,” said Thomasson. “We’re encouraging parents to visit RescueYourChild.org to learn how to save their children while they still can. With public schools becoming sexual indoctrination centers, homeschooling and church schools are no longer parental options, they’re parental imperatives.”

According to the State Senate floor analysis, “This bill requires the Governor to proclaim May 22 as Harvey Milk Day…The designation of a day of significance triggers statutory encouragement for public schools to observe and conduct commemorative exercises suitable to the day.”

The text of AB 2567 states that “On Harvey Milk Day, exercises remembering the life of Harvey Milk and recognizing his accomplishments as well as the contributions he made to this state” should be conducted; specifically, “all public schools and educational institutions are encouraged to observe...and…conduct suitable commemorative exercises.”

Under AB 2567, what will children in government schools be taught and how will children’s minds be “exercised?” The answer is whatever Harvey Milk believed or is said to have believed:

Religion is dangerous: “More people have been slaughtered in the name of religion than for any other single reason. That, my friends, that is true perversion.” (Harvey Milk, speaking at a homosexual rally in 1978. Source: http://thinkexist.com/quotes/harvey_milk/

All doors of sexual experimentation must be opened: “If a bullet should go through my head let that bullet go through every closet door.” (Harvey Milk. Source: www.sacbee.com/111/story/1112044.html)
 
If you’ve ever had homosexual feelings, you must declare yourself gay or lesbian: “Milk believed strongly that coming out was the responsibility of every gay man and woman.” (Source:
http://everything2.com/node/153707)

Gay and lesbian marriages are good and natural: “So much of the spirit represented with the Supreme Court's decision last week is the spirit of Harvey Milk and his legacy manifesting today in real change.” (San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom on the unveiling of a bust of Harvey Milk at city hall, May 28, 2008. Source: www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/05/22/BA3B10PV5C.DTL)

“This bad bill will teach impressionable schoolchildren the anti-religious, homosexual-bisexual-transsexual agenda of Harvey Milk,” said Thomasson. “The Democrats are so cocky, they have no qualms about pushing sexual indoctrination upon children in an election year. For the love of God, parents and their children, we implore Governor Schwarzenegger to veto AB 2567.”

If people of the same sex can “marry” then, by definition, the state has declared these relationships to be normal and equal to heterosexual pairings. Once that happens, garbarge like this will invariably follow.

My parents didn't like what was going on 8 years ago and left for Nevada.

I left 4 years ago because I compared the leaders of California as a bunch of chickens running around with their heads cut off.

Honest to God, I hate to repost this, but people need to see this "stuff" that is hiding behind the Gay Agenda.

Be advised, it's raw:



This report contains photographs and descriptions of extreme sexual behavior performed in public that some viewers may find disturbing.

http://www.zombietime.com/up_your_alley_2008/

 


Backhoe notes:

If you have a strong stomach ( lots of male/male gay sex and exibitionism ) you really need to follow the links, and see what the press is hiding from you & your family.
 
It's sick, but you must see it if you can stand it.
 
Remember, the lie the whole Media Hive ( press & entertainment ) keeps foxing you with is "it's just a couple of old queens, tending a garden together- nothing to get alarmed about..."
 
These freaks ( view the photos, damn it! ) have no place in public, among decent people
