Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender literature are included in the California Department of Education's newest reading list for students,prompting complaints from critics who say a leftist agenda is being pushed on kids, the San Jose Mercury News reported.

Controversial topics have been introduced to California students in the past, but this is the first time the state has put forth works celebrated by the Stonewall Book Awards, which since 1971 has recognized LGBT literature, according to the newspaper.

One more reason to leave California. Pretty soon, it will only be the teachers, the politicians, and the homosexuals left.

I have to say: if these books are for the past puberty set, they already know there are homosexuals.

Also, I do not believe that a sexually mature person reads a book about or featuring gays and sees it as a new potential lifestyle. Even back in my day we read stories with sexuality in them in high school. Doesn’t “A Separate Peace” have homosexual themes? I doubt you can turn straight kids gay or gay kids straight by reading a book about the others.

You know things are getting bad when you’ve never hated terrorists more but you secretly wish they just go ahead and nuke the WH. It’s not anything I’d be a part of but I might actually write them a than you letter if they succeeded at this point in our country’s history.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender literature are included in the California Department of Education's newest reading list for students K(KINDERGARTEN)-12......... "We have titles in the list for the LGBT community for multiple recommended grade levels," Roxane Fidler, the CDE's education programs consultant, told the newspaper. "There are books from the Stonewall Book Awards, which has not previously been on the list," Fidler said.

(My fault for leaving that part off...)

What you don’t understand, Yaelle, is that these books have been pushed into the faces of children a well-organized network of homosexuals who have infiltrated the decision-making process, who are manipulating the process of book selection process everywhere they can. You can get you won’t find books that say homosexuality is a choice or a point about psychological methods for helping people leave homosexual lifestyles. They big lies are winning. The process of book selection has been compromised big time.

The next award on the horizon will be awards for books about pedophilia and awards for books about incest. They confuse the dim-witted and the fearful by setting up fancy-sounding awards so that schools and bookstores and libraries will buy them.

This reminds me..... Last night my regular shows weren’t on so I made the mistake of flipping on Gray’s Anatomy. The show opens with a lesbian couple sex scene. It was just disgusting. I just couldn’t believe the lines that are crossed now without batting an eye. Everything is gay 24/7. It is just sickening how this country is bowing down to and trying to normalize a very small percentage of the population.

I would not read a homo book. I even hate when some of the books I read have homos in it.

They will start with so called “innocent” books with homo themes and soon start with homo porn. Next up will be graphic books with pics of fisting, felching and whatever deviant activities they engage in. That is the way with these perverts.

and because Kalifornia students can’t read, these will be picture books composed entirely of kinky porn.

I haven’t watched since Person of Interest started. I knew it had gay couple but I couldn’t believe the extent to which they are now pushing the envelope. It’s just appalling. Made my stomach turn.

It’s more a question of depriving kids of a good education by putting forward substandard literature with only the LGBT cachet as justification.
