Legislature To Send LGBT Curriculum Bill To Governor

On Monday, the State Assembly passed State Senator Sheila J. Kuehl's "Bias Free Curriculum Act" by a vote of 47-31 with one Republican (Keith Richman) voting for SB 1437 and one Democrat (Nicole Parra) voting against it. The bill amends the California Education Code to include sexual orientation and gender identity in existing statutory prohibitions against the use of bias in instructional materials based on race, national origin, religion, sex, color, or handicap.

Since the author substantially weakened the impact of the bill to appease the Governor earlier this month after it had already passed the State Senate, it must return to that chamber before heading to Governor Schwarzenegger's desk for his signature or veto.

The heterosexual supremacists who are supporting the Republican incumbent's re-election still oppose even the diluted measure which passed the Assembly. “It removes some redundant passages, some meaningless passages, but the core remains the same. It will turn every California public school into a sexual indoctrination center.”

This statement is so inflammatory and false on its face it doesn't really require a response, does it?
