Bill requires gays' history to be taught
STATE SENATOR WANTS CALIFORNIA TO LEAD WAY
By Aaron C. Davis
Mercury News Sacramento Bureau SACRAMENTO - The state Senate will consider a bill that would require California schools to teach students about the contributions gay people have made to society -- an effort that supporters say is an attempt to battle discrimination and opponents say is designed to use the classroom to get children to embrace homosexuality.
The bill, which was passed by a Senate committee Tuesday, would require schools to buy textbooks ``accurately'' portraying ``the sexual diversity of our society.'' More controversially, it could require that students hear history lessons on ``the contributions of people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender to the economic, political, and social development of California and the United States of America.''
Though it's a California bill, it could have far-reaching implications, not only by setting a precedent but also because California is the nation's largest textbook buyer and as such often sets the standards for publishers who sell nationwide.

I guess that would be AIDS? That seems to be their greatest contribution.
Seems kind of tough to teach about a subject where probably the greatest contributions were made by people who were at the time in the closet and wise enough to stay there.

Soon all kids will learn in school is gay history, black history, womens history, asian history, and latino history. They won't have anytime to learn about the founding of this nation or the most important people in our history.

Contributions like what? AIDS, and Jeffery Dahlmer?...CHOMP!

Of course, all manner of people have "contributed" to society. To single out gays in particular without also mentioning liars, murderers, rapists or extortioners seems a little selective to me.
This bill is yet another futile effort for gays to force non-gays to respect their life style and moral framework. By their actions it is obvious that above all, gays want to be accepted as being just plain folks, something that will never happen.

"They won't have anytime to learn about the founding of this nation or the most important people in our history."
That is the goal with most of this stuff.

"....teach students about the contributions gay people have made to society...."
Let's see.....AIDS, NAMBLA, child molestation, gonorrhea, syphilis, child porn, child rape/sodomy etc. etc. etc. Please feel free to add to this list.

We're about to learn that most of our important historical figures were closeted gays.
Not sarcasm.

No kidding. I actually saw a show (History Channel?) in which several "experts" suggested that Abraham Lincoln was gay.

Of course. They've already started, from Abraham Lincoln to Jesus (not that they would teach about Jesus, but if they did, they'd teach he was gay)

More controversially, it could require that students hear history lessons on ``the contributions of people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender to the economic, political, and social development of California and the United States of America.'' Children, please turn to page 103 in your textbooks. We are going to learn about the societal contributions of Ru Paul.

Fecal (Dont let them pervert the word "gay") contributions to our society:
Global propagation of AIDS plague.
Prolapsed rectums. (don't ask...)
Distrust of the clergy.
Effeminate speech patterns (think npr/pbs announcers)
Bad television. Bad films. Bad music. Ugly art.
Would they please stop contributing this way?
I am sick of their "contributions" to us.
