With the "hearts and minds" of 6.5 million schoolchildren on the line, a pro-family group has called a news conference today to protest a series of bills approved by the Legislature that would turn the California public school system into "sexual indoctrination centers."
The event is being held by the Campaign for Children and Families, which has been active in lobbying against the changes in state law, at the state Capitol in Sacramento.
"The simple message for (Gov. Arnold) Schwarzenegger will be: Veto these bad bills or turn off family-values voters," the group said in its announcement Monday.
"(The bills) will turn California schools into sexual indoctrination centers that mess with children's minds behind their parent's backs," said CCRF President Randy Thomasson.
"Governor, unless you veto these bad bills, the people will veto you," he said.
Among the speakers will be Thomasson, Robla school board President Craig DeLuz, Pastor Phillip Goudeaux of Calvary Christian Center, Pastor Adam Bondaruk of Bethany Slavic Missionary Church, Pastor Peter Park of Living Stone Community Church, and CCF Latino spokesman Luis Galdamez.
The bills would force California public schools to change curricula (SB1437) and policies (AB606) to promote transsexuality, bisexuality and homosexuality to children as young as kindergarten without their parents' permission.
AB1056 also would spend $250,000 to turn 10 schools into "sexual indoctrination centers," officials said.
The governor already has signed one bill that will require private schools including Christian colleges and others to promote homosexuality if any of their students receive state grants.
Full information on the bills is at SaveCalifornia.com.
Charles B. Lowers, of Considering Homeschool earlier told WorldNetDaily in an interview that what should happen is that Christian parents would just start homeschooling.
There would be "panic in the streets," he said.
"Instead of the traditional three R's in California's public schools, children are learning Rebelliousness, Relativism, and an R-rated lifestyle," he said.
Diversity celebration bump
Arnold is on a left wing binge. He is known for his
sexual proclivities.
Don't be surprised if he embraces this bill.
After all he is still a Hollywood bud.
AND he's married to a KENNEDY!!!!!
(No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo! )
As if that isn't happening already.
Home school. Public "education" is in its final throes.
His chief of staff is a lesbian Democrat.
(No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo! )
I agree with you both. Carry, I sure hope you're right about the public schools, but they seem to have more lives than a cat. Any other concern would have been closed down decades ago, if it was failing on the scale of public education.
(No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo! )
You or I would be. But for the state, it's just ducky. Perve world.
California is fast becoming a third world country.
Yes, because we all know that children who are kept ignorant of sex wait until marriage and then only have heterosexual intercourse for the purpose of procreation.
What they don't know can't hurt them. Just look at Africa. Huge taboos about talking about sex there and it truly is a moral paradise.
Is my sarcasm anything but obvious?
Ignorance of sex and being exposed to gay/transgendered perspectives in kindergarten are not the same thing.
Never got the sex talk from my parents. Never was allowed to watch R-rated movies. My parents told me that they had waited, as had their parents. Taught me how sex was intended to be, between a husband and wife. Introduced me to passages in the Bible, and taught me to look upon any girl I dated as a potential future wife. I waited.
There is a place for morality in all of this. There is also a place for education. But as for gay education (BS--we all know it's indoctrination), the public schools need play no part. At all.
Well, not exactly. I never noticed that Africa was notable for its backwardness in either words or deeds as regards sex. Meanwhile, the only African country where AIDS has taken a massive downturn was Uganda, following a huge program (urged by the Catholic Church) to promote (*gasp*) abstinence until marriage and faithfulness thereafter.
You have to admit, there's a certain logic to the idea that, like advertising for a product, talking about sex incessantly, especially where there's a built-in appetite for it, might tend to promote it.

I'm glad he's signed this bill. Why? Because that's how private schools have been 'altered' for many years -- you take one penny of state or federal dollars -- you are subject to the laws within the state and feds. Still surprises me how many people are unaware of this; calling upon state/fed money to help pay for private tuition, and then dumbfounded when the private institution says "no". They are saying no and because they are abiding within the letter of the laws.
Laws to date did not specify "homosexuality" but rather, race, ethnicity, gender. He was right to specifically make clear the burgeoning "gayness" of the Dem power elite in cA.
There's no room for God in California .
I heard Dr.James Dobson address this last week.....these bills are unconscionable!!
