"Do you have the ability to know what a true Christian is?"


I would say it's a lead pipe cinch there were no Christians on that committee.

In the spirit of the recent past, I have one BIG question. How do they know that one person or another person was actually gay? A recent book tried to portray Lincoln as gay. I'm wondering if the people promoting this will label many historic figures as gay so as to elevate the profile of gays. Whether the historic figure was or was not gay. Wow, am I glad that my son has finished with the public schools in California!

[Sister_T]

I'm sure there are probably some ignored man-boy lovers in our history that have "contributed" to society. Are they going to include them, as well?

[randog]

So how do you include that in a textbook? "Horatio Blechmore not only founded the California Environmental Society, but he took it up the b*tt like a bad boy....".

???????????

Does the Governator have to sign this....and will he?

[nmh]

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has taken no position on the bill.

[Hi Heels]

I have a question. Is there a list of gay/lesbian accomplishments that are NOT in the textbooks simply because the accomplishment was achieved by the gay/lesbian? And will we be reading something like "The Lesbian, Hitlery Clinton, was crushed in a brutal landslide defeat for the presidency...." or similar? The Heterosexual blah blah blah did the blah blah blah. Is this important to the text? Is it important to history?

This is Posturing. That's all this is about. Chest beating, antler bumping, Political Posturing. Period.

[calex59]

Got to move to a new state. Any recomendations from you FReepres? I have been in this state since I was 3 years old and am now ready to move out! Have relatives in Ark. and it sounds ok, but you know they voted Clinton in for Govenor!

[Mack the knife]

Seems fair enough. We should have a truthful description of history. If someone did something good but engaged in same-sex sexual behavior, the history books should reflect both.

But as long as truth is the criteria ... how about requiring all of the children to watch "And the band played on ...", showing how the homosexuals refused close the bath houses and reduce their promiscuity, and how this made AIDS (nee GRIDs) a world wide epidemic ... and how they insisted on donating blood, thus giving AIDS to hemophiliacs and killing them ... and what the real health and longevity statistics are for homosexual men (pandemic infections, reduced life span)...and what the domestic assault statistics are for lesbian couples ...

As long as we are going to tell the truth, let's tell the whole truth.

[Lizavetta]

Hey, what about the historical contributions of those who preferred hummers? I demand that the hummer community be adequately represented in our state's textbooks.

If basic history is incomplete without explicit mention of people's sexual proclivities, why stop with just the homos?

Where is the seperate chapter for historical figures who preferred blondes, or dressed their wives up as schoolgirls, or liked pink lingerie better than white?

This enforced invisibility can't stand!

[JCEccles]

The is to be expected when the ACLU and Darwinism control the decisions of what is acceptable to be taught in the public schools.

The fruitless pursuit of Dobie Gillis is at the root of Kuehl's problems.

Sheila James Kuehl as Zelda Gilroy
Zelda Gilroy chased Dobie for four seasons, but Dobie only wanted Thalia Menninger - - - or Aphrodite Millican, or Giselle Hurlbutt, or - - - well you get the idea, anybody but Zelda! Nevertheless, Dobie did have at least an unconscious weakness for Zelda that visibly manifested itself whenever Zelda wrinkled her nose at Dobie: He always involuntarily wrinkled back, immediately protesting, "Now cut that out!" Sheila James Kuehl left acting to become an attorney. She is now a Democratic Assemblywoman in California and a well-known champion of gay rights.

Calif. Senate committee OKs bill to add gays, lesbians to textbooks

Paraphrased and added to from something I just recently posted on another topic discussion:

It appears that the California Senate is skipping a step by assuming and declaring an innate "homosexual" status exists...

Hopefully someone will legally chalenge this non scientific assumption...

Regardless legal challenges yet made, one aspect premising the issue is comprised of physical scientists who can not yet identify or measure ANYTHING physical that establishes innate homosexuality.

Another aspect premising the issue is comprised of psychologists (pseudo scientists) who authoritatively declare there is NOTHING psychologically different (disordered) differentiating heterosexuals and homosexuals...

It would appear that reconciling the "science" from both sides of the house, the experts comprising both physical science and psychology, would necessarily lead one to an inescapable leftist enraging conclusion -- there are no homosexuals but ONLY homosexual activities...

As such, the textbooks if factual, would refer to individuals who contributed to society and at some point in their life engaged in whatever flavor of homosexual activity. This begs the question: "which homosexual activity has produced the most benefits for society?"

The question is WHY do the leftists want to turn educational materials into a pseudo version of the National Enquirer to educate children in gossip about those that may or may not have engaged in whatever homosexual activity? IT seems as if there is some kind of agenda? LOL

Supporters argued that all students should be made aware of the role that gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people have made

Will AID's be included in those lessons?

"I care about their accomplishments. I don't care who they slept with," England told the committee.

Must never have studied the history of western civilizations. Often times who was sleeping with whom determined whether a nation was an ally or an enemy.

[Das Outsider]

The bill would bar textbooks from discriminating against gays. It also orders school boards to use instructional material that reflects the "sexual diversity" of society and include the contributions of people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender.

One could say I've read some fairly gay books, but I don't know if the authors were homosexuals. Why must they emphasize sexual diversity in literature? Can a lesbian write something that isn't about being a lesbian? One has to wonder.

The inclusion of "transgender" is even stranger. Is there a classification of works by people who believe that they are a glass of orange juice?

Why do they not hold to an attitude of psychological diversity and promote material from schizophrenics? Perhaps Wesley Willis in the Music department, for example.

Every day, I'm a little happier that we decided to enroll our daughter in a Christian school next year.
