California bill could radically favor homosexuality in schools

.- Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed into law a bill requiring all California public schools to positively portray homosexuality to children as young as kindergarten.

The bill from the California Legislature, Senate Bill 777, forbids any instruction or school-sponsored activity that "promotes a discriminatory bias" against gender and sexual orientation. 

The bill's critics believe that since no current instruction disparages sexual orientation, the absence of such topics from school textbooks and instruction will be considered to be biased.  Positive portrayals of homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexualism, they believe, will therefore be required.

Any schools violating the law will be subject to lawsuits from the State Department of Education.

Randy Thomasson, president of Campaign for Children and Families, led the opposition to this bill.  He predicts the bill would require changing commonplace presentations in school materials and activities.  Textbooks could be forbidden from portraying marriage as only between a man and a woman; textbooks could be required to present homosexual historical figures; and sex-specific Homecoming King and Queen contests could be forced to change.  The legislation might even mandate unisex restrooms.

Mr. Thomasson attacked the California legislation.  “Shame on Schwarzenegger and the Democrat politicians for ensuring that every California school becomes a homosexual-bisexual-transsexual indoctrination center," he said.

I think this is brilliant. The increased awareness prevents fear and hatred in society. As long as they don't push people to believe it, it should benefit the entire generation. Well done.

I don't think there's anything wrong with teaching people how to better understand and love others of Gods' children who are created (or faulted) to love people of their own gender, so I approve this law greatly. I find people who judge others simply because of what they love to be going against any of God and Jesus' wishes, as only God is allowed to judge.

"Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence. Love others as well as you love yourself."

This is an excellent means of instilling Jesus' words of love to many, many people.

God bless the California legislature.

This is really awful! Does the Governor realize the long-term damage of what he's doing? I don't understand these people. They have truly sold their soul to Satan. What else could it be?

Any citizen in a so-called free democracy has the right to critize any law - and that includes laws on abortion, euthanasia and homosexual relationships. Otherwise, there is no freedom of speech and thought. These will be controled by the state. This is how it was in the USSR and still is in Cuba and China. What a shame!
