(CNSNews.com) - California's first openly lesbian state lawmaker has introduced a bill that her critics say would require kindergarten through 12th grade public school textbooks, instructional materials and school activities to promote transsexual, bisexual and homosexual lifestyles.
State Sen. Sheila James Kuehl, a San Monica Democrat (who many years ago played "Zelda" in the television series, "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis"), said she is trying to prevent discrimination. Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed a similar bill introduced by Kuehl in 2006, saying at the time it offered "vague protection when current law already provides clear protection against discrimination...based on sexual orientation."
Kuehl said her new legislation would update and clarify present laws rather than make outright changes. But critics say it could result in prohibiting any textbooks or instruction that "reflects adversely" upon homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality.
Teachers could be forced to present same-sex "marriage" and sex-change procedures, among other things, as being equal to traditional lifestyles and norms, according to cultural conservatives.Critics Blast California 'Homosexuality Promotion' Bill (http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewPrint.asp?Page=/Culture/archive/200703/CUL20070330b.html)
Remember it the next time some liberal here chants the mantra, "Would any person in their right mind choose that lifestyle?"
