Brown signs law requiring schools to teach gay history
SACRAMENTO (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill Thursday making California the first state in the nation to add lessons about gays and lesbians to social studies classes in public schools.
Brown, a Democrat, signed the landmark bill requiring public schools to include the contributions of people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender in social studies curriculum. The Democratic-majority Legislature had passed the bill last week on a largely party-line vote.

Children forced to learn about gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender history and inventors in school….God forbid they are taught that someone was a Christian….Democrats would insist that heads roll…
This is another reason that I say that Democrats can not be Christians. Everyone makes mistakes and can sin but a christian asks for forgiveness and repents unlike Democrats that fight for anti Christian principles and way of life on a daily basis, and like it.
How can you support a party that supports and insists on the opposite of Biblical teachings? Abortion, Homosexuality, Gay Marriage, etc, etc. Why do we have to have deviate practices forced upon us and our children and not only be expected to accept it but to celebrate it as well?
Is it not enough we have to worry about liberal professors indoctrinating our children of college age, now they have to stoop to brainwashing our elementary age children as well? What’s next, take infants away from their parents and send them to education camps for Liberal and and anti Christian brainwashing?
History is history why announce that they are gay or straight? Is this something that we need to know? does it change anything? and if so why and what?
This is just another ploy in the Liberals plan for the deconstruction of America.
So, do you think that gay people are monsters that shouldn’t be looked at as human? Do you think that learning that some people are gay will make children become gay? I’m sincerely curious.
I do not think your sexual deviation will make all children want to become gay, if exposed to it. I do know, however, that there are many impressionable young minds and followers that have no parental or religious structure in their lives, and though I believe this to be a minority, it is likely that this acceptance and celebration may cause them to experiment with homosexuality or more readily accept it, as is the homosexual agenda. Why do you insist on everyone celebrating your deviant behavior? and why insist on teaching all young children about it? Perhaps you believe that you will become more comfortable with your homosexuality if you can convince people to not only accept it but celebrate it with you? I do not think all homosexuals are “Monsters” as you asked but I do believe that it is a sin and if you want to argue that statement then you obviously do not believe in what the bible says and that is fine with me. That is your choice too. You can decide what is right for you and I will decide what is right for me and mine. Fair enough? Obviously not as you want to decide for me but I can not decide for you, or mine because of your beliefs. I am compelled to accept your way of life, your beliefs and your opposing views.
I think that it does not matter if they are gay. Do you think that a straight persons history should include his preference for sexual positions? Or his deviant desires if any? This has NOTHING to do with history being taught in elementary schools it is all about indoctrination youth to accept your way of life as “normal”. It is an attempt to rationalize your homosexuality and have others celebrate it and accept it as though it were normal….YES I said As though It were normal!
In the interest of “Fairness” since we now have Gay history and black history, and Muslim studies being taught in schools, we now need to have straight history and every other race, and religious history taught in school but God forbid we mention Jesus Christ or Christianity that is a death offense.
“that there are many impressionable young minds and followers that have no parental or religious structure in their lives”
Or that they have no parental or religious structure that happens to agree with you. There’s a difference.
If you want to teach you children anything you want about gay people at home or church, that’s your business. But you can’t expect a public school to do the same.
“Why do you insist on everyone celebrating your deviant behavior?”
Well, first of all, it’s not my deviant behavior.
Second of all, no one is asking you to celebrate or accept the sexual activity. They’re asking you to accept the people. I can celebrate a person like you, for example. without accepting what you do in your bedroom.
“and why insist on teaching all young children about it?”
I don’t. No one does.
What they insist on is teaching young children that homosexual people are people, and have done things in our history that are worth learning about. Acknowledging that they are gay helps avoid things like bullying and bigotry. I’m not sure if you’d like to put a stop to those things, but I would.
“and if you want to argue that statement then you obviously do not believe in what the bible says and that is fine with me”
Correct. I don’t believe what the Bible says. And public schools are secular, and should not adhere to what the Bible says.
“and I will decide what is right for me and mine. Fair enough?”
Obviously not, as you want to make it so homosexuals are never taught about to anyone, not just your own children.
“I am compelled to accept your way of life, your beliefs and your opposing views.”
As I am compelled to accept yours. And that acceptance involves not forcing myself or my views on you, as I would hope you would do the same.
“it is all about indoctrination youth to accept your way of life as “normal”.”
As it is normal, I see no problem with that.
Well lets see where to start? First of all, of course religious structure would have to disagree with you, and it is not that I believe religion happens to agree with me, but I happen to agree with it. You see Christianity was here long before I was and I can’t think of any religion, legitimate or otherwise, which agrees with homosexuality.
I don’t want my children or anyone’s child to be forced to accept something that we are taught to believe, or choose to believe is not right. Why can you not wait until the child has the capacity to make a decision instead of trying to brainwash them from such an early age?….Smacks of the tactics used in communism. Indoctrinate the young and impressionable as fast as you can.
If you like it or not, school is not there to teach children value judgements, that is a parents job not a board of liberal anti christian indoctrinators. Teach our children the basics of education and not moral judgements that they believe should be taught. leave that to the parents.
Your right public schools are secular and should not get involved with the teaching of religion, (I mean why teach all the facts when you can only teach the ones that suit your agenda?) However, that also means they should not destroy its teachings either.
What you are proposing, and what now is law in California, is undermining the values, religious or not, that some parents try to instill in their children and some of us understand that elementary age children do not need this indoctrination.
Once again you are partially right, I do want to make it so homosexual teachings and celebration of their lifestyle are not taught to just anyone, like the very young children who are not taught about a lot of other things at that age as well. Discretion is the key here….Have some.
Why do you want to insist that a child, who can not yet even understand the full meaning of sexuality be thrown another type of deviation and asked to understand not only what transgender lesbian and homosexuals are, but that they invented or did something in history,……So what?
A human being invented or did something is enough for now. If they wish to seek further information about some persons lifestyle or sexual behaviors for his part in history, let them study it when they are old enough to understand it, and not be brainwashed about it when they don’t.
So Homosexuals are people who may or may not have made a difference in society in the past….Satanists murderers, terrorists, pedophiles, necrophiliacs, straight, black, white, Christians and others have all made history, so let’s teach about all their lifestyles, or would it be better to leave all that flotsam out? You obviously want to leave Christians out of any teachings by your statement of schools being non secular….How convenient for you. I guess Christians never made any significant history? Or is it that their lifestyle choice is objectionable to you, so you won’t allow them to be mentioned, or celebrated like homosexuals are.
Let me tell you that there are a lot more Christians than homosexuals in this country, yet Christianity or Christian persons in history can not be talked about, but Gay people can be. What is wrong with that picture? personally I do believe that homosexuality is demonic that is why I don’t hate you or most homosexuals I hate the sin not the sinner.
Is this now the schools new job? Is that what we pay them to teach our young?
In closing, Homosexuality may be “Normal” to you in your world. Keep your lifestyle but keep it to yourself. don’t try to indoctrinate and brainwash captive children in elementary schools and lower, into believing that your lifestyle is perfectly acceptable and normal…It is NOT!.
I don’t care that you and your like prefer the same sex, as disgusting as that is to me. I am praying for you. I don’t force people to accept my sexuality, which is probably just as disgusting to you, so why should you force people to accept yours? This is my blog and you commented on it so you are giving me your opinion, which I allowed you to give freely, and I do appreciate.
