The AP reports that "gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people would be added to the lengthy list of social and ethnic groups that public schools must include in social studies lessons under a landmark bill passed Thursday by the California Senate. If the bill is adopted by the state Assembly and signed by Gov. Jerry Brown, California would become the first state to require the teaching of gay history... [The bill] would prohibit districts and the California Board of Education from using textbooks or other instructional materials that reflect adversely on gay, bisexual and transgender Americans."
This is a ridiculous bill which is the first step in an open agenda to infiltrate the schools with teachings about homosexuality at a very young age despite the legitimate objections of many parents and the inappropriateness of making sexuality a topic at all. Children should not be taught about issues that conflict with the deeply held beliefs regarding sexual morality of many parents. It is not the government's job to introduce children to sexually related material, even if it is a subset of history. Further, the idea that teachers will be talking with students not only about gays and bisexuals, but even about "transgender people" is absolutely ludicrous. It's political correctness to the extreme that has the government usurping the role of parents in order to replace the values that some parents may want their children to have with those that some politicians in Sacramento believe in. I agree that textbooks or other instructional materials should not reflect adversely on gay, bisexual and transgender Americans. And you know how you can easily accomplish that? By not having school textbooks for what are still children or even young teenagers in their formative years "reflect" on those issues at all.
California schools are failing miserably and yet "gay history" is the agenda for education reform in Sacramento? California ranks near the bottom of all states in the number of students reaching their educational goals. Is telling students about homosexuals, bisexuals, and transgenders going to improve the education of California schools? Of course not. But no matter, because that is the top misplaced priority for California.
It should be noted that California law already requires schools to cover the contributions to the state and nation of women, African Americans, Mexican Americans, entrepreneurs, Asian Americans, European Americans, American Indians and labor. Having this kind of ridiculous politically correct multicultural nonsensical list is in and of itself very idiotic. First, is this list even complete? What about the contributions to the state or nation of Jewish Americans? What about the contributions to the state and nation of Christianity? Certainly Judeo-Christian values have had an impact on American society and especially the American founding, so why not mandate teaching about this? What about teaching about the contributions to the state and nation of the United States military? If I spent enough time, I am sure I can come up with all sorts of groups or topics that are left off that list because they don't matter in the eyes of political leftist hacks in Sacramento that divide everyone up into these divisions and classifications for political purposes. In fact, I've pointed to a few topics already that are conspicuously left off the list and are enough to expose the list for what it really is: political hackery. These politicans may pretend it is all about "diversity" or "tolerance," but I don't believe it. It's not really about that at all, it must be agenda driven or else someone should explain to me the rational process by which a group, and even a topic, is made a part of that legislative list and why certain others are very noticeably missing. There is no rational process, it's politically driven drivel.
