'Twin Bills of Destruction' Threaten Family Values in California Schools
A California pro-family activists is warning against two education bills in the state legislature that advance a radical pro-homosexual agenda. One of the bills would make school textbooks gender-neutral, while the other threatens schools financially if they choose not to promote homosexuality.

Assembly Bill 606 would allow the state schools chief to defund schools that do not support the homosexual agenda in textbooks, presentations, and instructional materials. The measure also calls for school districts to "establish and publicize an anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policy" that prohibits discrimination and harassment based on specified characteristics, "including, but not limited to, actual or perceived gender identify and sexual orientation." Introduced by State Assemblymember Lloyd Levine, AB 606 has already passed the California Assembly.

Senate Bill 1437, sponsored by lesbian activist Senator Sheila Kuehl, declares that public school curriculum could not "reflect adversely" on homosexuality, trans-sexuality, or bisexuality. This measure would amend three sections of existing state education code to prohibit instruction, textbooks, or material that reflect "adversely upon persons because of their race or ethnicity, gender, disability, nationality, sexual orientation, or religion." The bill has yet to receive a hearing.

The Sacramento-based Campaign for Children and Families says AB 606 "forces every California school to be a transsexual, bisexual and homosexual school, or else suffer crippling financial consequences." As for SB 1437, CCF describes it as "a sexual-agenda bomb dressed up as a child-caring Easter egg." CCF executive director Randy Thomasson adds his own description, calling the pieces of legislation "twin bills of destruction of family values" in the state's school system.

:rofl: You gotta love those over-the-top, overwrought fundies! The more deperate they become, the more hysterical they get. We went from "promoting the homosexual agenda" to advancing a "radical pro-homosexual agenda" in just a matter of months.

1. WTF?
Umm, didn't see anything in them about 'forcing schools to advance the homosexual agenda'.

So the 'homosexual agenda' is to be treated like regular people?

How truly diabolical. :sarcasm:
