A new law scheduled to take effect in January would revise the protected list to disability, gender, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation. It would also change the words "reflects adversely" to "promotes a discriminatory bias."

I guess new California history textbooks will say, 'On September 11, 2001 several persons flew planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.'

It is lunacy like this that makes me want to kick California out of the Union. Don't worry-I would admit either Puerto Rico or Guam so we don't have to buy new flags.

Is bestiality a legitimate sexual orientation?

An unanswerable question among the popular purveyors of the homosexual agenda. Unfortunately among the radical homosexuals, they would say yes. Sexual deviance, starting with adultery and divorce... is the original slippery slope.

Otherwise there would be no "oldest profession."

Because telling the religious faithful that homosexuality is "okay" could reflect adversely on their lives, the language of the law had to change.

To those teaching the sex positive agenda, yes. They seek to end all moral judgements over sexual pairings.

They want you to drop your puritanical notions.

There is no slippery slope. The Homosexual Agenda is merely the battering ram used by the Sex Positive Agenda to knock down society’s laws and mores against such actions.

GoAskAlice and other sites have already addressed health concern questions without moral judgement on the act itself. It is ok in their book. Anything goes.

She never was interested in Dobie all those years ago. She was just interested in seeing that Dobie never got to be with Tuesday Weld...

How about the classroom exercises where students are all asked to “come out” and declare they are homosexual even if they aren’t all in the name of “unity”?

How about the exercises where children are asked if there are any of their classmates (of either gender) that they would like to “marry”?

Yep. Its all about imposing the iron hand of political correctness upon California public schools and making sure the Left controls its madrassas. Preventing discrimination is just pure horesh*t.

Truthfully, liberals want you to suspend moral judgments on everything, except conservatives and Christians.

They believe in moral judgements. Political correctness is all about passing judgement against those who are politically incorrect.

If you oppose socialized medicine, you are a “sinner” because you let your fellow man suffer from illness and medical maladies.

If you oppose illegal immigration, you are a “nationalist” who wants to close the doors on the same country that let your ancestors in.

Political correctness is all about moral judgements.

Every year, in manay schools in CA there is something called a National day of silence, which is when kids that support homosexual rights as the same and stronger than hetero rights are encouraged to not speak all day. I think it is endorsed through many schools.

Does this law apply to public schools only?

hmmm...Not sure of the answer to that. I think they would be prevented from imposing this on religious chools, and in fact the opoenents of 777 are encouraging parents to pull kids out of public schools, but I think, many charters have to also abide by public school rules, so i suspect they too would be subjected to these new rules.

I was wrong. This law WILL impose these laws on ALL SCHOOLS, public, private, secular, religious. All schools. Here's the passage that tells us that:

" 210.3. "Educational institution" means a public or private preschool, elementary, or secondary school or institution; the governing board of a school district; or any combination of school districts or counties recognized as the administrative agency for public elementary or secondary schools."

But not homeschooling, I presume. That’s our next step.
