5/12/2006 California Senate Votes to Force All California Public Schools to Promote Homosexuality, Transsexuality, Bisexuality Education SACRAMENTO, May 11 /Christian Newswire/ -- The California State Senate today passed SB 1437 (Kuel, D-Los Angeles), the most outrageous bill in the California legislature this year. “This is just another example of how radical the State Senate has become,” said Karen England, Executive Director of Capitol Resource Institute. “SB 1437 seeks to indoctrinate innocent children caught in the tug-of-war between traditional families and the outrageous homosexual agenda.” SB 1437 requires textbooks to highlight the so- called positive contributions of homosexual and transgender individuals to society and would prevent textbooks, teaching materials, instruction, and “school- sponsored activities” from reflecting adversely upon persons based on their sexual orientation or actual or perceived gender. “The State Senate is so far out of touch with California families that it is beyond alarming,” said England. “The traditional family is under attack and this is a latest—and most outrageous—attempt to corrupt the minds of our children.” SB 1437 not only affects textbooks and instructional materials for kindergarten and grades 1-12, it also affects all school-sponsored activities. The full effects of SB 1437 are broad and sweeping. “Under SB 1437 school districts would also likely have to do away with dress codes and would have to accommodate transsexuals on girl-specific or boy- specific sports teams.” “It is shameful that the same day parents are suing because many children are not prepared to pass a basic exit exam, the State Senate is preoccupied with promoting homosexual and transgender history in our schools,” stated England. “It is also shameful that the California Teacher’s Association is supporting this radical agenda when they should be focused on preparing our students in the fundamentals.” CRI is committed to opposing legislation that uses our children as social-experiments and tramples upon long-standing traditional family values.
