Bill to Include Gay Rights Movement Info in California Textbooks Clears Hurdle
FoxNews ^ | April 6, 2011 | Diana Macedo

Posted on 04/06/2011 12:02:58 PM PDT by UniqueViews

The California Legislature could soon pass a bill that would require school textbooks and teachers to incorporate information on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Americans into their curriculum.

The Fair, Accurate, Inclusive and Respectful Education Act, or SB48, which mimics a bill previously vetoed by then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, made it one step closer to becoming law Tuesday after being approved by the state's Senate Judiciary Committee.

The bill, introduced by state Sen. Mark Leno, could have a nationwide impact if passed because California is such a big buyer of textbooks that publishers often incorporate the state's standards into books distributed to other states.

Thomasson also complained that the bill does not allow for teachers to discuss the opposition to the LGBT movement or warn against "the negative consequences, that male homosexuality is the largest transmitter of HIV and sexually transmitted diseases."

I’m glad I exited CA when I did. And, unlike Lot’s wife, I haven’t looked back...

That is a real movement, in every sense of the word usage.

Wouldn’t want to be in these legislatures’ shoes when they appear before THE Judge.

will they also include that homosexuality is in most cases a transient state and based on mental illness residual from early childhood sexual abuse?

Celebrating a mental illness hardly seems appropriate. But I guess if you are mentally ill and do not know it, this may seem appropriate.

We’ve got to “teach the children” that, although the conservatives may call them perverts, sexual deviants, pedophiles, freaks, homos and fags, THEY are responsible for making California the fabulous place that it is today!

Wow - what a cesspool CA has become.

It's mind boggling how such a small percentage of the population who are so unnaturally perverted can acquire such political clout.

Does this apply to government schools only or to all schools? The article doesn't seem to say.

Teachers won't be allowed to say anything the gay rights activists don't like? So much for the first amendment or freedom of conscience. How do they enforce this--send a text that the teacher reads verbatim, and have somebody from the Gay-Straight Alliance in the classroom to make sure that there are no non-verbal clues indicating that the teacher doesn't agree with the text?

The abject depravity that reigns in California is truly stunning. A few short generations ago, it was the grandest state in the union. Now it’s an evil cancer, run by filthy perverts. Where’s a good earthquake/tsunami when you really need one?

Who is surprised? This is what they’re after—other people’s kids. Anyone who is not aware of that at this point is either naive or stupid.

Education is a weapon whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.

That's advice from Stalin.

After decades of underground growth, doctrinal adherence and successful networking into every level of power, the globalists and their anarchist/commie tools must think their repeated success is getting to be like taking candy from a baby.

they schools can’t teach math, can’t teach reading, and now by act of law can’t teach how human mating works.

states should pass a law excluding any book approved by california. Any book used in the state of california can not be used in the school system of “this” state.
