The Democrat-controlled California State Senate is scheduled to vote Monday on a highly-controversial bill that will teach children in grades as young as kindergarten to embrace transsexuality, cross-dressing, bisexuality, and homosexuality. SB 1437, which so far has only the support of Democrat state senators, will likely be debated and voted upon the afternoon of April 24.
"This isn't about safety or discrimination, it's about teaching boys they can wear girls' clothes, girls that they can get sex-change operations to have their breasts removed, and teaching every child that marriage is no longer between a man and a woman," said Randy Thomasson, president of Campaign for Children and Families (CCF), a leading pro-family organization based in California that is strongly opposing SB 1437 and two similar bills, AB 606 and AB 1056.
SB 1437 expressly prohibits textbooks, instructional materials, and school-sponsored activities from "reflecting adversely" on transsexuality, bisexuality, or homosexuality. Instructional materials could not only present marriage as between a husband and wife, but must also teach about two wives who are married lesbians. To avoid "reflecting adversely," sex education assemblies would have to include information on hormone injections and sex-change operations.
SB 1437's strange definitions of "gender" and "sexual orientation" are taken directly from California Penal Code, Section 422.56, which defines gender as including a "person's gender identity and gender related appearance and behavior whether or not stereotypically associated with the person's assigned sex at birth," and which defines sexual orientation as including "bisexuality." A legal analysis is posted at www.savecalifornia.com.
On April 4, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 3-1 to pass SB 1437. Asking no questions of witnesses and voting lock-step in favor of the bill were Democrats Joe Dunn, Martha Escutia, and Sheila Kuehl, the bill's author. Voting "no" was the Republican leader, Dick Ackerman.
"Arnold Schwarzenegger must realize that values voters, whether they are Republican, independent, or Democrat, really hate the notion of schoolchildren being taught that sex-change operations are good and natural and maybe even for them," said Thomasson. "SB 1437 leads young children astray and emotionally molests them. This sexual indoctrination bill takes our schools backward, not forward."

Randy no doubt had a minor role in Buttcrack Mountain.
Californians need to wise up, get a large dose of religion, and eject most of their perverted state congressrats.

What are you talking about? When did you discuss this with him. I am disgusted by the proposed law, but to say that God has chose California for judgement is just insane and astonishing. I am stunned by your words. Are you just tired or incredibly arrogant? I guess you asked him and he told you this.
Dr. James Dobson was right two years ago when he said that no Christian parents should send their children to CA public schools. That is spiritual child molestation. Jesus said it would be better for the perpetrators to have a millstone hanged around their necks and be drowned in the sea, rather than hurt the faith of a child.
BUMP
I would suggest you are not stunned -you are simply confused as you do the very thing on a personal level that you condem in general. Do you maybe justify personally attacking a person to maybe defend God or maybe the reputation of the State of California?
I recommend sticking to the issues and leaving personal attacks for other forums more suited like DU...
