California's plan to teach children to accept and appreciate homosexuality is on hold.
Last week Governor Jerry Brown signed into law SB 48, which requires public schools -- kindergarten through 12th-grade -- to teach about homosexual role models in history and sociology. It requires "a selective treatment of history by requiring that only events that reflect positively on people in the LGBT community may be discussed."
Brad Dacus of the Pacific Justice Institute has received a stay blocking introduction of the curriculum this fall.
Pacific Justice Institute has filed a referendum to go on a future ballot that would repeal the law. The state attorney general is reviewing the petition, and once approval is obtained a drive to obtain signatures will begin.

Yeah....’for now’.
I hope the people of California overturn this atrocity and I hope they boot the representatives that voted for this evil.
I could care less who/what people decide to have sex with. I do care however that children should get indoctrinated in this stuff - especially when skills of reading, writing, and arithmetic are lacking.
Yeah well, we had a chance to overturn global warming legislation by initiative last year but instead voted overwhelmingly to continue it. You just never know with this state.
I never understood the need or the reason for this law in the first place. We can learn about historic events involving people who may have been homosexual. But there’s a big difference between that, and actually teaching homosexual history.
And the requirement that nothing negative can be said about homosexuality is bad, in my opinion. Liberals tell us all the time what is wrong with America, and what historic wrongs have been part of our history. Yet in the case of homosexuality, there is a prohibition against telling the negative side of homosexual history.
The implication is that negative examples and events are prohibited from being discussed.
That is a direct attack on the First Amendment as far as I am concerned.
It would be like saying only positive and good examples of politicians and government may be discussed in the classroom.
Simply ridiculous.
Wonder if they have a chapter in there about Jeffrey Damler?
Teaching the skills that can be used to discern truth from lies is the opposite of the agenda they are pushing,
so there’s no wonder they neglect those skills in favor of propaganda.
I am very glad to hear this.
Wasn’t Jeffrey Damler the guy that went around eating German cars?
Sort of like what they do with Lincoln.

Very good! I’m impressed by this Institute’s action and will sign any petition to put it on the ballot. However, any petition must have a clause that if the State Supreme Court overturns the law or any part thereof they will automatically and forthwith be required to stand for electoral confirmation or expulsion.
Many of the most famous serial killers (e.g., Jeffrey Dahmer, Andrew Cunanan, John Wayne Gacy, etc.) were homosexuals.
Here is one list......

Well, I guess everyone needs a hero.
