[Active-l] (ACTION ITEM) (CALIFORNIA) Focus on the Family national condemns California education bill

[Dara (R'ykandar Korra'ti)]

	Focus on the Family has joined the list of fundamentalist political 
action groups condemning a California bill that would require lesson 
plans not condemn LBGT people, and maybe some other stuff as well. I 
recommend looking this bill up and, given their reaction against it, I 
suspect it's worth supporting. Yes, I'm being a little lazy on this 
one, I'm sleepy and still working on today's CWU. But you get the idea. 
Go sic 'em.

California Education Bill Would Mandate Schools Endorse Homosexuality

ACTION ITEM

Action is needed to stop this biased bill in the California Senate.

http://www.focusaction.org/Articles/A000000190.cfm

Senate Bill 1437 has passed from the  California Senate Judiciary 
Committee and can at any moment be voted on by the  whole Senate. If 
signed into law, it would force all public school teachers to present 
to students a one-sided message about homosexuality, bisexuality and 
transgender issues.

The bill would ban lessons, discussions and activities that reflect 
adversely upon one's sexual orientation ,  which would end any open 
discussion about the issue of homosexuality in public classrooms and 
effectively silence the Christian voice on the issue.
