A plan that has been launched in the California state Assembly – again – could be used to ban references to "mom" and "dad" in public schools statewide by prohibiting anything that would "reflect adversely" on the homosexual lifestyle choice.
It's similar to a plan WND reported was approved by lawmakers last year, but fell by the wayside when Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed it.
"SB 777 forcibly thrusts young school children into dealing with sexual issues, requiring that homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality be taught in a favorable light," according to an alert issued by the Capitol Resource Institute.
"Not only does SB 777 require that classroom instruction and materials promote and embrace controversial sexual practices, it also bans school-sponsored activities from 'reflecting adversely' on homosexuals, bisexuals and transsexuals," the group said.
"Pushing this radical homosexual agenda in California schools will stifle the truth in favor of political correctness and will inevitably conflict with the religious and moral convictions of both students and parents," said CRI Executive Director Karen England. "The full ramifications of this sweeping legislation could affect the entire nation as most textbook companies tailor their material to their number one purchaser: California."
She noted that Los Angeles schools already have implemented most of the proposals now pending for districts across the state, and among the changes are:
"Mom" and "dad" and "husband" and "wife" would have to be edited from all texts.
Cheerleading and sports teams would have to be gender-neutral.
Prom kings and queens would be banned, or if featured, would have to be gender neutral so that the king could be female and the queen male.
Gender-neutral bathrooms could be required for those confused about their gender identity.
A male who believes he really is female would be allowed into the women's restroom, and a woman believing herself a male would be allowed into a men's room.
Even scientific information, such has statistics showing AIDS rates in the homosexual community, could be banned. "It's embarrassing that we've got kids who can't pass their exit exams, but we add all sorts of complications [to school]," she told WND.
She cited an informational document published by the Gay-Straight Alliance Network and the Transgender Law Center.
"If you want to use a restroom that matches your gender identity … you should be allowed to do so," it advises. "Whenever students are divided up into boys and girls, you should be allowed to join the group or participate in the program that matches your gender identity as much as possible."
Further, the groups advise, "If you change your name to one that better matches your gender identity, a school needs to use that name to refer to you."
Randy Thomasson, of the Campaign for Children and Families, noted that the proposal was made by 'lesbian state senator Sheila James Kuehl, D-Santa Monica."
"Schools need to do a much better job teaching kids reading, writing and arithmetic, not a better job advertising controversial sexual lifestyles to captive six-year-olds," he said.
He also noted that, just as last year, two other bills also are pending: AB 394 by Assemblyman Lloyd Levine, D-Van Nuys, would demand that schools distribute to students "anti-harassment" education programs, and AB 675 by Assemblyman Mike Eng, D-Monterey Park, would give $1 million to pay for homosexual, bisexual and transsexual activists to turn 10 public schools into "sexual indoctrination centers."
Last year three similar bills were approved by California lawmakers, but were vetoed by the governor.
Many groups, including several national outreaches such as the Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family, had lobbied for the veto.
One of last year's plans would have required the State Board of Education to increase sensitivity to so-called "discrimination." Under the plan the state Superintendent of Public Instruction would have had unlimited discretion to withhold state funds from schools that did not comply with that individual's interpretation of the law.
A second would have "integrated tolerance training" into history and social science curriculum and started a pilot program that would have forced students to learn a "new definition" of tolerance, one that would require them to not only accept but advocate for homosexuality, bisexuality and transgenderism, according to the CRI.
The third would have banned anything that "reflected adversely" on homosexuals, bisexuals or transgenders.
Former Assemblyman Larry Bowler, R-Elk Grove, described them as no more or less than "indoctrination, designed to inculcate our children and our grandchildren."

Ho much of this is real...i.e., is this another WND made-up story, or something with substance?
Gay is straight
Perversion is normalcy
Sheryl Crow smells good
“It’s nobodies business what we do in the privacy of a public classroom.”
The nose knows.....!
pathetic :/
1 GOOD thing about Japan, is it’s about 30 years behind the states in everything (law-wise, not technology)...
Gays are still looked down upon here...
eewwwwww!
The perversion pushers are in for a rude awakening.
Matthew 13
24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Amen and Anen.
Indoctrination? Nah, stop your hate speech. Congress is working on that as we speak, soon “father” and “mother” won’t be just filtered words, but illegal as well.
In case you're not familiar with WND, they often take a kernel of truth and provide give it with lots of embellishment. I was wondering how much fertilizer they piled on here to help the story grow.
Haven’t yet heard of the First Amendment in CA.
Read my tagline.
If this is true, the people who want this suppression need to be stopped with any legal means neccessary...and if that doesn't work, Freedom lover's have to seriously start considering the last resort!
Where’s that earth quake that sends Calif into the ocean.
I’ve been hearing promises for so long.

If that were to happen you might just miss this Web site...
The passage of such a bill would separate the sheep from the goats, in regard to “Christian” parents. No Christian parent could have their child indoctrinated into such an ungodly life-style by the state.
