California education's new gay propaganda

The social engineers are at it again in the California government. This time, they are after the textbooks and teaching materials used in this state.

Assembly Bill 606 and Senate Bill 1437 are now making their way through the state legislature. They will make it mandatory that grades 1-12 use books portraying the “sexual diversity of our society.”

They also require students to hear history lessons on the contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgendered people to the economic, political and social development of California and the United States.

AB 606 gives the California Superintendent of Public Instruction the power to unilaterally withhold state funds from schools districts that don’t promote transsexuality, bisexuality, and homosexuality.

It has passed the Assembly and is on its way to the Senate.

SB 1437 expressly prohibits textbooks, instructional materials, and school-sponsored activities from “reflecting adversely” on transsexuality, bisexuality, or homosexuality. Now it’s on the Senate floor for a vote.

So, with these two bills a great dictate comes from the lords of Sacramento. They knew well that there would be communities that would never follow these mandates if they didn’t threaten to withhold funds to their school districts.

Sacramento wishes to push their gay agenda not just down our throats but the rest of the country as well. Since California is the largest buyer of textbooks in the U.S., it will force other states to endure California’s social agenda through the new books the publishers will be obligated to write to be in accordance with our laws.

With these new laws in place, Sacramento will demand that the school districts purchase the new versions of the textbooks, which will cost the taxes payers millions.

But that’s OK to them. They will justify the expense by saying ending discrimination is worth the cost.

It doesn’t matter that these bills disregard the religious and moral convictions of parents and students. They will result in reverse discrimination against anyone who questions these mandates or holds an opposite viewpoint. They will be labeled “bigoted” and forced out of the debate.

But what is truly ironic is that those who say conservatives want to force their values on others are now the ones that have no problem imposing their sexual lifestyle on the education of school children

Why the HELL does this article only have the Opinion of one side of the arugement (what used to be called "James vs James" now changed to "Point/Counterpoint" for some reason), and the side that doesn't know what the hell he's talking about?! What "propaganda" is it that you're referring to? We queer (BGLTQ) people just want the same rights and respect as anybody else in the US receieves. (Continued…)

It disgusts me to hear people today spew out this vile and venomous rhetoric. It is the same argument racist whites used in the sixties to try to prevent the accomplishments and contributions of blacks and other minorities in our society from appearing in classrooms and textbooks. (Continued…)
