Kuehl said lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students are still vulnerable to discrimination in instructional materials and school activities.

Sheila Kuehl is a liar.

I have personally read my kid's textbooks as they worked their way through the California school system.
They are some of the most PC textbooks you can imagine.
Since I also volunteer in the classroom and know what is going on....the same is true of the instructional materials. I have NEVER seen anything that was hostile towards gays.

The bill was a power grab aimed at forcing her lifestyle on all of California's children. She ought to be ashamed of herself.

Are the textbooks, stories and novels exclusively heterosexual in perspective?

I imagine the hostility that exists is among peers rather than within the classroom material in public schools.

So the textbooks say something like..

'Senator Fred Jones, formerly Freida Jones, won a silver metal in the Gay Olympics. The metal was for synchronized swimming.
He is an advocate for removing pay toilets in bus station restrooms.'

Is sexual orientation brought up in the textbooks?
