SaveCalifornia.com has launched a new drive to protest a pro-homosexual bill recently signed into law.
Randy Thomasson, president of SaveCalifornia.com, tells OneNewsNow he is calling for a boycott over a law designed to force students to honor a deceased homosexual activist. (See earlier article)
"With Harvey Milk Gay Day now the law for California government schools, and a handful of sexual indoctrination laws already existing that are in effect throughout the entire school year, parents have to at least boycott Harvey Milk Day or days or week," Thomasson urges.
Randy ThomassonThe boycott, he says, needs to be established by parents to protect their children, but also to drive home a point that they do not want their children indoctrinated with a pro-homosexual philosophy. Thomasson feels that taking students out of the government school system is the only way to accomplish this protection. He adds that parents also need to be aware of the quality of education their children are receiving in California.
Thomasson reports that "on the academic chart, California is among the lowest academically in the country. On the sexual indoctrination chart, California leads the pack with Massachusetts following."
Given these statistics, the West Coast pro-family, pro-child organization hopes that the boycott will convey the message that time in the classroom should not be used in a way that might risk losing average daily attendance funds.

Americans should use the boycott more often. It's the only thing the leftists understand.
I only wish our conservative members of Congress, after smashing their chairs over their desks stage a walkout and refuse to return until the Democrats roll over for a change!
As you can see from the following quote from the legislation, schools are “encouraged” to recognize “Harvey Milk Day”, nothing more. Given the level of demands on a teacher’s time in California there will be very few classrooms setting aside the time for any observation.
“SEC. 2. Section 37222 of the Education Code is amended to read:
37222. (a) The following days in each year are designated and set
apart as days having special significance:
(1) The second Wednesday in May as the Day of the Teacher.
(2) April 21 of each year as John Muir Day.
(3) April 6 of each year as California Poppy Day.
(4) May 22 of each year as Harvey Milk Day.
(b) On each of the days designated in subdivision (a), all public
schools and educational institutions are encouraged to observe those
days and to conduct suitable commemorative exercises...”
“(4) May 22 of each year as Harvey Milk Day.”
I truly wish I could post some remark which would be either witty or funny.......
but right now.......I’m having trouble getting my jaw back into its proper position...
Kansas where are you ??
All these parents need to vote down any new bonds or increases for public schools—send a message where it hurts.
No one should be encouraged to celebrate insane proclamations such as this. The teacher’s union should have protested this.

Ohio here...
Sorry I have no vote....
just damn....
We are still debating whether to homeschool our little boys (who haven’t been to any school at all yet). But I can tell you one thing. If we do send them to a public school, I will keep them home on Harvey Milk Day. For all twelve years.
