According to WorldNetDaily.com Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed legislation that banns the expression “Mom and Dad” as well as “husband and wife” from California schools.  His signature also orders public schools to allow boys to use girls restrooms and locker rooms, and vice versa, if they choose.  Guess what choices they’ll make, especially the boys?

Capitol Resource Institute executive director, Karen England, exclaimed: “We are shocked and appalled that the governor h as blatantly attacked traditional family values in California.  With this decision, Governor Schwarzenegger has told parents that their values are irrelevant.  Many parents will have no choice but to pull their children out of the public schools that have now become sexualized indoctrination centers.”

Putting parents in such a position of withdrawing their children from the public schools will further erode those schools to the lowest moral degradation as most students (not all) of those left will have no problem participating in such an atmosphere of moral depravity. 

Thomasson went on to say, “This means children as young as five years old will be mentally molested in school classrooms.  Shame on Schwarzenegger and the Democrat politicians for ensuring that every California school becomes a homosexual-bisexual-transsexual indoctrination center.”

Since textbook publishers must cater to their largest purchaser, often California; analysts have warned that schools across the nation may be impacted by this decision since the publishers will be unlikely to go to the expense of having a separate edition for other states.

State bill SB777 bans anything in public schools that could be interpreted as negative towards homosexuality, bisexuality and other alternative lifestyle choices.  It is interesting to note that there are no similar protections for students with traditional or conservative lifestyles and beliefs.

Meredith Turney, legislative liaison for Capitol Resource Institute said, “SB777 will result in reverse discrimination against students with religious and traditional family values.  These students have lost their voice as the direct result of Governor Schwarzenegger’s unbelievable decision.  The terms ‘mom and dad’ or ‘husband and wife’ could promote discrimination against homosexuals if a same-sex couple is not also featured.” 

“Parents want the assurance that when their children go to school they will learn the fundamentals of reading, writing, and arithmetic –not social indoctrination regarding alternative sexual lifestyles.  Now that SB777 is law, schools will in fact become indoctrination centers for sexual experimentation,” she said.

Another bill signed into law was AB394, which targets parents and teachers for such indoctrination through “anti-harassment” training.  The governor had vetoed almost identical provisions a year ago, saying existing state law already provided for penalties for discrimination.  It was hoped that he would once again veto this outrageous legislation.

According to Thomasson, SB777 prohibits any “instruction” or school-sponsored “activity” that “promotes a discriminatory bias” against “gender.”  The bill’s definition includes cross-dressing and sex changes – as well as “sexual orientation.”  

CCF noted that, “Because no textbook or instruction in California public schools currently disparages transsexuality, bisexuality, or homosexuality, the practical effect of SB777 will be to require positive portrayals of these sexual lifestyles at every government-operated school.”

It is understood that offenders will face the wrath of the state Department of Education, up to and including lawsuits.

CCF further noted that now on a banned list will be any text, reference or teaching aid that portrays marriage as only between a man and woman, materials that say people are born male or female (and not in between), sources that fail to include a variety of transsexual, bisexual, and homosexual historical figures, and sex education materials that fail to offer the option of sex changes.

Homecoming kings can now be either male or female –as can homecoming queens, and students, whether male or female, must be allowed to use the restroom and locker room corresponding to the sex with which they choose to identify.

AB394 promotes the same issues through state-funded publications, postings, curricula and handouts to students, parents and teachers.   The bill also creates circumstances where a parent who says marriage is only for a man and a woman in the presence of a lesbian teacher could be convicted of “harassment,” and a student who believes people are born either male or female could be reported as a “harasser” by a male teacher who might be wearing women’s clothes.

According to Tomasson, Governor Schwarzenegger also signed AB14 that prohibits state funding for any program that does not support a range of alternative sexual practices, including state-funded social services run by churches.  This would of course affect many day cares, preschool or after-school programs, and food and housing programs, senior services, antigang efforts, jobs programs and other such services. 

Perhaps such actions will especially push churches to reevaluate their relationships with the states and consider providing much of these services as a ministry of the church rather than depending on state funding.

Again, according to Thomasson, every hospital in California –even private, religious hospitals, will be forced to adopt policies in support of transsexual, bisexual, and homosexual lifestyles and opens up nonprofit organizations, such as churches, to lawsuits if they exclude members that engage in homosexual, bisexual, or transsexual conduct.

In responding to the signing of AB14, Thomasson said, "It's the height of intolerance to punish individuals, organizations, businesses, and churches that have moral standards on sexual conduct and sexual lifestyles.  This is another insensitive law that violates people's moral boundaries."

It was reported that a board member for the homosexual advocacy group Equality California verbally attacked and threatened CRI for its opposition to the bill.  The board member sent an e-mail and video to CRI threatening the group would be buried if it continued efforts opposing the homosexual advocacy.

It appears that only politically correct speech will be tolerated by those who claim tolerance as their mantra in promoting their discussing legislative agendas.  It is reported that the Gay-Straight Alliance Network and the Trans-gender Law Center is lobbying for special treatment in the school system even now.  It advises, “If you want to use the restroom that matches your gender identity … you should be allowed to do so.  Whenever students are divided up into boys and girls, you should be allowed to join the group or participate in the program that matches your gender identity as much as possible.”

The group further advises, “If you change your name to one that better matches your gender identity, a school needs to use that name to refer to you.”  And they also warn schools against bringing parents into any such discussion with students that further reveals their ungodly intentions.
