SACRAMENTO - The state Senate will consider a bill that would require California schools to teach students about the contributions gay people have made to society -- an effort that supporters say is an attempt to battle discrimination and opponents say is designed to use the classroom to get children to embrace homosexuality.
The bill, which was passed by a Senate committee Tuesday, would require schools to buy textbooks ``accurately'' portraying ``the sexual diversity of our society.'' More controversially, it could require that 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.''

In a free country, people have a right to believe hgomosexual activity is immoral. It is illegitimate for the government through public schools to indoctrinate children in one particular view of this.

Furthermore, why does anyone's contribution to society necessarily relate to sexual orientation? What baloney!

Gays invented drilling holes and scribbling invitations in restroom stalls at highway rest areas, providing constant work for state employees.

Thanks, Schwarzie, for hiring all kinds of homosexuals in big positions.
Feh, big time!
Anyone who still has kids in CA public schools is endangering their children.
