California Parents Barred from Opting Kids Out of Mandatory LGBT-Inclusive Textbooks

California has become the first state in the union to mandate the use of LGBT-inclusive textbooks in elementary schools and have given parents no way to opt out. The choice has been made for them. It’s the law.

That law requires a “fair, accurate, inclusive, and respectful” treatment of homosexual, bisexual, transgender, and lesbian Americans despite the historical insignificance.

“We’re not trying to make anybody gay; we’re not saying there’s an agenda; we’re not saying that these people are better than other people; what we’re saying is this is another group of Americans and they face certain prejudices,” said state publisher Mark Jarrett, whose history textbooks include special mention of the sexual preferences of historical figures like Jane Adams, Emily Dickinson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, President James Buchanan, though it’s inconclusive if these prominent Americans were gay or not.

“I think we should say, ‘Buchanan, he never married. He had a very good friend who was living with him. He may have been gay,'” Jarrett added. “On the other hand, at that time, being gay was seen as something evil and wrong.”

California approved the textbooks written by Jarrett, a Ph.D, to be used in the 8th grade. Students will read that legendary stagecoach driver Charlie Parkhurst “was a woman who identified as a man,” according to Fox News. They will read that George Washington’s chief of staff Baron Von Steuben “may have been gay,” and that poet Walt Whitman “was drawn to young men… but denied his same sex preferences in public.”

Critics say much of these accounts are speculation, but California rejected any publisher that didn’t mention the homosexual preferences or claims against historical figures in their textbooks. In one textbook, the state forced the publisher to add “lesbian” to describe NASA astronaut Sally Ride.

Any conservatives left in California should move out now before the mother of all earthquakes hits.

Good luck with that. Last I knew CA pretty much determines what gets sold nationwide.

XX, XY, Other.

A simple blood test + scientific fact = sanity.

Too bad the morbidly obese “water fasting” moron population is so disingenuously alienated from science that you and your sheeplefied bleating offspring are unable to wield it as an instrument of Truth and sanity.

As a result of the sort of buffoonery you’ve put on display - a significant portion of multiple generations of children are so psychotically detached from reality that they don’t even know what sex they are.

Well done E. Auto!

What about Christian inclusive textbooks? Where going to church and celebrating and worshipping God is shown as good?

This is a real problem. CA is such a huge high profile market it can bully the country. Take CAFE standards, Trump has yet to scale back the insane ones Obongo tossed in on his way out the door. CA has stated they will demand they stay in place in CA. It may be cheaper for car makers to comply nation wide then it would be to make separate cars for CA.

The purpose of this is to TURN the kids gay. If a kid has even the slightest doubt, this is designed to force the kid to believe he’s gay, and to confirm him in that thought. The idea is to create more and more little fagsters who would add to the group’s political power.

Yes. Do. Before they close the borders and secede. Forest fires, earth quakes, Hillary-voters, snowflakes, Bloods, Crips, Sanctuary cities, Holly-weridos, and now the Gaystapo. It’s a beautiful state, I hear, rich and scenic with mild weather and surfing and such. But at some point, enough craziness is more than too much.

“We’re not trying to make anybody gay...”

Right. Sure. Whatever you say.

State publisher Mark Jarrett, whose history textbooks


So the state publisher, one Mark Jarrett PhD, wrote the LGBT-inclusive textbooks which are now mandatory in CA schools? One person’s crusade to devalue all other Americans ... give a liberal an inch, and they will mandate the taking of the next few miles.

“We’re not trying to make anybody gay; we’re not saying there’s an agenda; we’re not saying that these people are better than other people; what we’re saying is this is another group of Americans and they face certain prejudices,”

How about people who don't wipe themselves? Can we still have our own feelings about them?

In CA, Christians “face certain prejudices.

Do they get preferential treatment?

I think in order to be “Fair” and present ALL views, every school in California should show this video after each safe sodomy lesson.
