I respectfully disagree and here's why: AB394 promotes the same issues through state-funded publications, postings, curricula and handouts to students, parents and teachers. It also creates the circumstances where a parent who says marriage is only for a man and a woman in the presence of a lesbian teacher could be convicted of "harassment," and a student who believes people are born either male or female could be reported as a "harasser" by a male teacher who wears women's clothes, CCF said. And if you think the folks who support this law aren't prepared to push it, then look at this: WND has documented a number of earlier cases in which educators, including leaders in California, have taken it upon themselves to promote a homosexual lifestyle to children under their charge. WND reported California Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell, under whose supervision hundreds of thousands of children are being educated, has used his state position and taxpayer-funded stationery to praise a "gay" pride event used in the past to expose children to sexually explicit activities. That drew vehement objections from several educators, including Priscilla Schreiber, the president of the Grossmont Unified High School District governing board. So while a teacher can stand up in front of a classroom and teach our kids about bi's, trani's, and gays, any discussion of male and female as the single way to parenthood is forbidden. I have a problem with that.
I cant pursue this with you since I'm going away for the weekend but I will read that link you posted. I certainly agree with your statement above but let me say one thing. I think any law that's designed to disallow the discussion of "mom" and "dad" in any public school system is destined to be overturned by the US Supreme Court. Regardless of your feelings about President Bush we should be eternally grateful for how he shaped this court. They will completely and totally reject things of this nature. I would love to see a pair of rump rangers create life. Life can only be created by "moms" and "dads" and nothing will change that.
