Assemblyman MOUNTJOY opposes promotion of homosexuality in public schools.
Letter sent to GrandMoM | February 8, 2002 | DENNIS MOUNTJOY-California Legislature

Posted on 02/12/2002 3:28:27 PM PST by GrandMoM

THE FOLLOWING IS A LETTER I RECEIVED FROM ASSEMBLYMEMBER DENNIS MOUNTJOY REGARDING ASSEMBLY BILL 1326
Dear Concerned Grandparent:

Thank you for writing to me regarding your support for my nine-word bill,Assembly Bill 1326, which reads:"The promotion of homosexuality in public education is prohibited."This measure would have prohibited the promotion of homosexuality in public education. Unfortunately, the Assembly Education Committee defeated AB 1326 on January 16. All four Republicans present voted in support. Eight Democrats voted in opposition. A copy of the votes is enclosed

A Los Angeles Unigied School District (LAUSD) teacher testified in support of AB 1326. He explained and displayed the materials he has collected under court order that were being used for LAUSD's "Models of Pride 2" diversity training. Believe me when I tell you that this material is grossly inappropriate to be used in our schools under the guise of "safety" or "diversity" training or anything else. In my view, the material is pornographic and obscene.

I believe government schools should focus their energies on teaching our children to read, to write, to understand mathematics, to think and to analyze. Schools should not seek to use our schools as vehicles for social engineering.

I am very concerned about the direction government school curriculum is headed. Last year's Assembly Bill 1785 (Chapter 955, Statytes if 2000) requires schools to teach sexual orientation as a form of diversity. This year's AB 1434 proposed authorizing payment to outside "organizations" to teach K-12 students diversity. Under AB 1434, diverse sexual orientations, such as trans-sexuality, could be taught to children as normal and healthy.

Late last year, Superintendent of Public Instruction Delaine Eastin created a 38 member task force to draft recommendations and strategies for implementing AB537 (Chapter 587, Statutes of 1999). Interestingly, Mike Marshall, the task force co-chairman, also serves as Executive Director of the San francisco Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center.

Assembly Bill 537 proposes teaching our children diversity in order to create "safe schools." The AB 537 Task Force met in several secret sessions. They drafted a set of 12 recommendations to implement AB537. Under these recommendations, all State curriculums will be change to include alternative sexual lifestyles. In other words, literature, math word provlems, health and social studies classes, as well as other subjects will be tailored to positively protray homosexuality, bisexuality and transgenderism. The California Department of Education is poised to adopt these recommendations as administrative regulations to be followed in every K-12 public school. You can access the recommendations at the following site: http://www.cde.ca.gov/spbranch/safety/ab537/report.pdf

One of the recommendations urges the Department to "create positive, grade-appropriate visual images that include all sexual orientations and gender identities" for use in schools.

I have enclosed a copy of my AB press release, a list of the books approved by LAUSD for use in their diversity training, a page listing the members of the Assembly Education Committee and how you can contact them. I hope you will take the time to view these books and to write to the members of the Assembly Education Committee voicing your opinion on their AB1326 votes.

If you are as concerned as I am, I encourage you to go to your local school district and check out the materials being used for their diversity training or gay/lesbian appreciation days or weeks.

If you think the information is inappropriate, please let your school board know immediately.

Sincerely, Dennis Mountjoy

Homosexual Agenda Re-Ping - an article with links to more info from a couple of years ago. If you are newer to the list, you might want to check it out, especially in light of all the news about indoctrination in schools lately. Here is more evidence, and one of the good guys who is fighting the good fight.*

BTW, they are indeed after OUR children, en masse. Do you want to see a whole generation of children force-fed the lie that same sex acts are normal, natural and healthy? Well, it is happening right this minute. Across the country.

Let me and DirtyHarryY2K know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

*Does anyone know if Mountjoy is still in office? I hope so.

Opt Out does not work!! It is law here in MA, and the gay organizations just ignore it and come up with excuses why it wasn't followed. Their way of thinking, they got to the students, what can parents do after the fact. And they are right.

We are trying to get a bill through now, that says students must Opt IN. Thereby, no opt in, no exposure. They can't fudge that. I hope to God it gets passed! Parents should push to force OPT IN, not out.

According to the Bible you need 10

LOL. Actually, though, that's just the point where ol' Abe stopped asking. There might have been a bit more wiggle room.
