California bill would ban "mom" and "dad" from textbooks, and mandate pro-homosexual lessons. Just when I thought the left coast couldn't go any further off the deep end: a bill is advancing in the California legislature that would ban traditional sex-specific terms from school texts, and require students to learn "gay history". Here is the article:

Here are some details:

Having already been approved by the state's Senate Judiciary Committee, SB 1437, which would mandate grades 1-12 buy books "accurately" portraying "the sexual diversity of our society," got the nod yesterday of the Senate Education Committee.

The bill also requires students hear history lessons on "the contributions of people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender to the economic, political, and social development of California and the United States of America."


"This bill is the most extreme effort thus far to transform our public schools into institutions of indoctrination that disregard all notions of the traditional family unit," said Karen England, executive director of Capitol Resource Institute. "SB 1437 seeks to eliminate all 'stereotypes' of the traditional family so that young children are brainwashed into believing that families with moms and dads are irrelevant."


Here's more:

England says the measure amounts to unneeded social experimentation.

"SB 1437 disregards the religious and moral convictions of parents and students and will result in reverse discrimination," she said.


Sponsored by Democratic Sen. Sheila Kuehl – a lesbian actress best known for playing Zelda in "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" in the 1960s – the legislation would add "gender" (actual or perceived) and "sexual orientation" to the law that prohibits California public schools from having textbooks, teaching materials, instruction or "school-sponsored activities" that reflect adversely upon people based on characteristics like race, creed and handicap.


It doesn't surprise me that Californians would elect someone like Kuehl as a representative, or that Kuehl would sponsor such legislation. But I am amazed that this bill is receiving any type of support. If this bill actually becomes California law, other states could follow suit. Let this be a wake-up call for all concerned.
