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.''

Would this list of contributions include AIDS?

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.
