(CNSNews.com) – On Jan. 1, the California Department of Education started implementing a new law that requires all children in the state’s public schools to study the “role and contributions” of “lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans” to the “development of California and the United States of America.”

This law, according to the pro-family group SaveCalifornia.com, will require the schools to promote “lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans as role models” and mandate that “children as young as kindergarten must be taught to admire persons who engage in homosexuality.”

While pondering how much time, money and energy is spent pandering to an estimated 3.5% of the population, it occurred to me that if people stood up and demanded the same attention be paid to contributions of conservatives, patriots and immigrants who assimilated into our society with pride, there would be little room left for this nonsense.

[surroundedbyblue]

This gives me chest pain.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Interesting...and just how long will that take?...three seconds?

[Paladin2]

They should be embracing and celebrating the guns that won the west.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

I wonder if they could also teach them some basic math skills, a little english sentence structure and maybe something about U.S. History?....I know...I ask to much!

[MrB]

Will those “contributions” include the degradation of society, the culture, the family, and the spread of deadly sexually transmitted diseases?

[MrB]

Make no mistake, the whole promotion of homosexualism is simply a front for anti-Christianity.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

This LGBT walks into a bar and asks how do you make a White Russian?.....

[Rich21IE]

It’s articles like this that cause me to ask the question; “Why is my state in a Union of States that includes California?”.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Liberal agenda only invites looking on one side of the fence...

[bboop]

Um, I’m offended. Doesn’t that give me legal standing to file a complaint? MY tax dollars...

[skeeter]

The schools here barely cover the contributions of the founders, and when they do it usually focuses on their refusal to deal with the institution of slavery.Kids graduate totally ignorant of the constitution and founding principles.

Public educatators are for the most part clinically insane.

[TexasFreeper2009]

I agree sort of that gay history should be taught ..

it should be taught how the fags spread the deadly AIDS virus worldwide and killed millions because of their perversions.

[mkboyce]

Contributions? You mean like the spread of AIDS?!?

[afraidfortherepublic]

This sounds like something hatched in Bezerkeley (which is why I moved my family away from there in 1972) but now it is affecting the whole state. I would not recommend that anyone live in California and subject themselves and their families to this nonsense.

[OldNavyVet]

I ask to much!

You've just failed in English.

“California Public School Kids Now Required to Study Contributions of LGBT Americans”

Guess it will be a short course...

[Beagle8U]

Well, lets see...They invented AIDS, earrings for ‘men’, Disco, what else?

Adam Carolla made a similar point in his podcast yesterday. Basically, he said, if you measured simply by how much fuss they kicked up, you'd think the gays made up 90% of the population. He compared that with the Asians, who make up a bigger percentage of the population, but didn't kick up any fuss.

[massgopguy]

So who gets written out of History to make room for RuPaul and Divine?

[Califreak]

“Teacher? Was Harvey Milk really a member of The People’s Temple?”

(No, he wasn’t, but an ideal question to ask if you want to make the teacher squirm uncomfortably)

[ScottinVA]

Is it a leap to predict in 10 years, California (if still in the U.S.)will mandate public school students study the “contributions” of the founders of NAMBLA?

Little can convince me it’s not headed in that direction.

[Mrs. Don-o]

“There are those who believe that a new modernity demands a new morality. What they fail to consider is the harsh reality that there is no new morality. There is only one morality...all else is immorality. There is only true Christian ethics over against which stand the whole of paganism”.... President Theodore Roosevelt

[ScottinVA]

Well, lets see...They invented AIDS, earrings for ‘men’, Disco, what else?

The word "fabulous."

[JPG]

Yeah, who needs to waste class time teaching about George Washington when you can teach about Harvey Milk?

[Baynative]

It won't be RuPaul and Divine, but you can bet they will make heroes out of Barney Frank and Ellen DeGeneris

On a serious side; "What the hell do kindergarteners know about homosexuality, anyway?

[ScottinVA]

There is only one morality...all else is immorality. There is only true Christian ethics over against which stand the whole of paganism”.... President Theodore Roosevelt

Ah.. the part of TR that Obama DIDN'T channel...

[Leep]

Salons, turkish baths, Bravo, Gerbiling, public displays of pervertions, mockery of institution of marriage..gay mafia???
We’ve come along way baby.

[MrB]

The goal: Criminalizing Christianity.

Then it all makes sense.

[ScottinVA]

On a serious side; "What the hell do kindergarteners know about homosexuality, anyway?

They're going to know a lot more about it this time next year.

When California is finally ceded to Mexico, there's going to be some freakish screaming coming from there as the queers come to the realization their new government won't be quite so willing to tolerate their sh*t.

[Izzy Dunne]

I ask to much!

*too

[tflabo]

Lately I had been viewing testimonials at You Tube of people who had near death experiences of hell. Quite frightening really......So many in our society show little respect for God and no fear of being sent to hell. Promoting wickedness as normal is a one way ticket down to gehenna. Scary stuff indeed.

[tacticalogic]

It’s articles like this that cause me to ask the question; “Why is my state in a Union of States that includes California?”.

They kind of make me wish for a loading bench with a built-in popcorn popper.

[ScottinVA]

Sometime soon, there’ll be a dust-up because a student challenges these teachings, stating homosexuality is wrong.

... and all hell will be unleashed on the parents.

Rom 1:18- gives us a picture of what the wrath of God on a nation looks like... like America today...

[StAnDeliver]

Option #1 : Private school

Option #2 : Move

[sniper63]

..gay mafia???

Godfather takes on a whole new meaning.....:)

[Servant of the Cross]

Between the anti-family environment in its schools and the anti-business policies emanating from Sacramento, it’s a wonder any sane people are left in CA.

[MrB]

It will be considered a criminal act under “hate crime” legislation.

Matt 18:6 - Whoever harms one of these little ones that believes in me, it would be better for him if a millstone where tied around his neck and he were drowned in the depths of the ocean.

[dfwgator]

How about the contribution of AIDS?

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

How long does it take to tout the benefits of Aids and the Reach Around.

[blueunicorn6]

They’re going to study the contributions of the LGBT? Look at the donation sheet for the Democrats.

[tflabo]

Romans 1:18....For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness.

Read through verse 32 as well for a more complete expose from Paul.

[MrB]

I did put a dash after 18 indicating “through the rest of the chapter”, but thanks for clarifying for others that missed that.

[Envisioning]

Maybe they can combine it with a class on Muslims contributions? Should be about a 30 minute class......

Oh, and there is no such thing as transgendered, only mutilitated freaks.

[Dilbert San Diego]

How many historic figures are “trans-whatever”? Are we going to study the history of Chazz Bono on Dancing With The Stars?

And who else is historic? Ellen DeGeneres, Rosie O’Donnell, Harvey Milk, Village People, RuPaul, Rock Hudson, Billie Jean King, Elton John?

The school kids may well end up learning about people in the popular culture as part of history, assuming some serious attempt is made to measure some historic achievements of LGBT peoples. But then we could ask if learning about Rosie O’Donnell and her history is a good use of class time.

[GraceG]

How about teaching the contributions that ALL americans have made and leave their sexual preferances completely out of it.

we don’t have classes that teach the contributions of straight americans and if we did you know the left would throw a hissy fit.

Just leave the sexual preferances of people out of it and list what they did the other 99% of the time they weren’t enguaging in sexual acts, straight or otherwise.

If they wanna teach this they can do it in college as a damned elective.
