‘Gay’ indoctrination in bull’s-eye of new campaign – Voters could rescind demand to promote sexual alternatives to kids

A California state law scheduled to be enacted Jan. 1 is in the bull’s-eye of a new campaign that would rescind its most egregious effects.

SB48, approved by the California legislature in 2011 and signed into law by Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown, mandates that all children from kindergarten through 12th grade in all “instruction” be taught to admire “the role and contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans.”

Critics have said children as young as 6 years old will be taught to admire homosexuality and same-sex “marriages” and to support the political activism of so-called “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and Questioning” (LGBTIQ) political groups.

And parents will neither be notified of the teaching requirements nor allowed to opt their children out of such indoctrination, they say.

This week, however, the Pacific Justice Institute announced a coalition is beginning work on a referendum that would allow voters to approve superseding regulations that focus on the historical significance of any group or person irrespective of gender orientation.

In an announcement at the Stop SB48 website, the group Capitol Resource Family Impact said the plan actually would do what Brown claimed when he signed the pro-”gay” bill: Affirm that “history must be honest.”

“The bill he signed specifically required an incomplete and inaccurate presentation in all social science classes in our public schools,” the campaign organizations said.

Jack Hibbs, one of the sponsors, insisted SB48 went too far.

“We all know that the issue of homosexuality is controversial. It is unacceptable to require that our schools shine a spotlight on this lifestyle on the one hand and then demand that history books and teachers censor shortcomings on the other,” he said.

Kevin Snider of the Pacific Justice Institute said, “We drafted an initiative that responds to the perception that some want to ignore the contributions of certain individuals. This initiative prohibits history book exclusion of anybody based on their membership in a protected class. But it requires an accurate, historical portrayal of any individual.”

Earlier, a related coalition tried to put SB48 to a vote of the people, but it fell short of the required number of signatures.
