Anyone else against SB777?

Question

To keep this kinda brief... SB777 is a referendum that was signed into law by the Govener in Ca. This bill is gona pave the way for onesided views on sexual orientation to be implemented in the classroom, while at the same time deeming contrary views as fostering a " discriminatory bias". If this get's passed into law then as early as 2008 grades K-12 ALL SCHOOLS WILL BE FORCED!
To positively, teach about homosexuality, bisexual and transgender student issue's. If it's not stopped.... SB777 is clear that... NO TEACHER INSTRUCTION and NO SCHOOL ACTIVITY, could "Reflect" or "Promote" a "DISCRIMINATORY BIAS AGAINST ANY PERSON...." Who is homosexual, bisexual or transgender...
What SB777 Does... IS SILENCE ALL OPPOSITION TO IT... and Teacher would be "FORCED" to "PROMOTE" homosexuality!

Answer 1

And people wonder why parents choose to home school or send their kids to private and parochial schools.

Answer 2

First of all, no school teaches sex education at 5 years old. That is just rediculous.
6th grade is generally when they begin talking about the whole body and 7th grade when sex education usually begins.

Second, it's not meant to "silence all opposition" as you put it. It is to try to lower the suicide rate among kids most likely.

Several kids feel that they are dirty, not normal, a freak etc...and this leads to severe depression in most and also low self esteem.

I have four little girls and would have no problem at all with them being taught about homosexuality. I think that far too many people are passing unnecesary hatred down to their children on the subject.

In short, if you don't want your child taught about any of it, OPT OUT of sexual education. Every school in the U.S.A gives the parent the control here.
This isn't to say they won't learn about any of it from friends etc though.
If this is a big issue for you, send your child to a private school.

Answer 3

Wow, have you been brainwashed. All that SB777 does, with respect to the specific issue you bring up, is add "sexual orientation" to a list of things including: sex, ethnic
group identification, race, national origin, religion, or mental or
physical disability and prohibits a person from being subjected to
discrimination on those bases and contains various provisions to
implement that policy.
Existing law prohibits a teacher from giving instruction, and a
school district from sponsoring any activity, that reflects adversely
upon persons because of their race, sex, color, creed, handicap,
national origin, or ancestry.
This bill would revise the list of prohibited bases of
discrimination and the kinds of prohibited instruction and activities
and, instead, would refer to disability, gender, nationality, race
or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or any other
characteristic contained in the definition of hate crimes that is
contained in the Penal Code. The bill would define disability,
gender, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, and sexual
orientation for this purpose.

How you get from that language to your position is a jump worthy of Evel Knievel. Get educated! Get INFORMED!!

Answer 4

So you only want your child and others to be exposed to the kind of love relationships you have?

What will happen when she first sees a gay couple hold hands or kiss, or lesbians hugging, or a person who's clearly transgendered? She'll realize you withheld information she needs to successfully navigate the world and ALL the people in it.

The bill does not force teachers to promote homosexuality but to acknowledge that sometimes men love other men. How does this harm a child?

Frankly, your intolerance disgusts me.

Answer 5

This is not forcing them to beleive it, it is forcing tolerance and understanding! A teacher is already bound to be tolerant of people, ie-race and gender, this is just one more thing that we need to teach our children, Tolerance and understanding. This is not forcing them to be taught how to be gay, this is not teaching the practice of homosexuality, but forcing the schools and teachers within them to treat everyone, no matter what sexual orientation, with the same respect and dignity. I don't see why people have a problem with this. It is not creating a "Homosexuality 101" class. And if you have a problem with the school teaching tolerance, then you must be intolerant yourself. If you don't want tolerance to be taught to your child, then take them out of public school, put them in a private religous school with the same beleifs as yours, or homeschool them.

Answer 6

Does it really matter if you are against it or not? California has the most liberal court system in the US. Even if the law would get repealed it would be taken to the courts groups like the ACLU would legislate form the courts.

Answer 7

Now how can that happen with a Republican Governor? Only in Caifornia.

Answer 8

Move out of the PRK. There is something Baad in the ozone out there.
