California to Require Gay History in Schools

LOS ANGELES — California will become the first state to require public schools to teach gay and lesbian history.

As expected, Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill on Thursday that mandates that the contributions of gays and lesbians in the state and the country be included in social science instruction and in textbooks. School districts will have until next January to begin implementing the new law, which was also promoted in part as a way to combat bullying of gay and lesbian students.

“This is definitely a step forward, and I’m hopeful that other states will follow,” said Mark Leno, California’s first openly gay state senator, who sponsored the bill. “We are failing our students when we don’t teach them about the broad diversity of human experience.”

The state already requires schools to teach students about the contributions of some other minority groups, including black people and women. But until now, gay figures like Harvey Milk received little mention in state-approved textbooks.

The Democratic-controlled Legislature passed a similar bill in 2006, but Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican who was then the governor, vetoed it.

This time, however, California has a Democratic governor, and the legislation came on the heels of a highly publicized string of suicides among gay teenagers, including a 13-year-old boy from the state’s Central Valley.

Advocates for the legislation said they believed the shift would help make schools safer for gay and lesbian students, who are often ostracized.

“There is an increasing awareness in the public and among elected officials that we have to do something to address the problems of bullying, and the negative consequences” for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students, said Carolyn Laub, director of the Gay-Straight Alliance Network.

Some conservative lawmakers, however, continued to oppose the bill, saying that curriculum should be left to individual school districts.

“It’s a sad day for our republic when we have the government essentially telling people what they should think,” said Tim Donnelly, a Republican state assemblyman from San Bernadino. Mr. Donnelly said the law prohibited schools from presenting gays and lesbians “in anything other than a positive light, and I think that’s censorship right there.”

Though the new law will take effect in January, state textbooks and curriculum will not be updated for several years. In the meantime, local school districts will have to use supplemental materials in the curriculums.

my thoughts exactly only teach black history for 28 days, but history of a sexual preference is higher on the learning totem pole it seems

 

[woodchuck]

wttf is gay history

The Greek and Roman armies conquering the known world.

 

[Rick Ronson]

The history of sodomy anal fucking ,fisting, and pedophilia

Let me guess they are starting at elementary school level

Now yall see why i hate their asses so fucking much.

Mothafuckas be steady talking about its not that serious
its is that serious and its also too late to fight back.

Where are you niggas talking that shit now?

Glad I dont have kids.

Coming to a town near you.

 

[Dr. Truth]

I'll be damned if my kids have to learn the history of the faggot. Rome and Greece was nothing but faggotry, what else needs to be known.

 

[woodchuck]

Here's how I see this playing out: they'll be insinuating about the sexually of historical figures. After talking about landmark cases and shit, what else have they got? They'll probably claim Lincoln as the first gay President, if not Buchanan.

 

[KingAddies]

Y'all know this is a mockery. We don't have infrastructure, wealth or Mental Health to do anything positive to combat this. 'The other side' is obsessed with Jackass, South Park, WOW, and Family Guy instead of keeping up with and surpassing places the US outsources their labor, intellectual property, decision making and manufacturing to. So yeah Hollywood (West Sodom) won.

Remember I started a thread on this and the faggot lovers came out calling me a homophobe and asking why do I care? Well this is why, it impacts all our lives. It's like having Strait history. I'd laugh in your face if you brought that to me just like gay history. History of sexual orientation? GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE

 

[mc2]

We need that earthquake to send California in to the Pacific.

I would definitely not raise a kid there.

 

[onyxfemme]

Straight up bullshit......

NOW do you see why I shit on the public school system? I TOLD YOU niggas that some shit like this would happen. I TOLD YOU to put your kids in private school. I TOLD YOU you couldn't count on the gov't to properly educate your children. But niggas didn't want to listen. These little bastards are BARLEY graduating with on a 7th grade math level (because guess what? algebra is no longer a requirement in California school systems) but they have to learn about some faggotry?

The only reasoning I can think of is the "People fear what they dont understand" movement. Try to educate children early on instead of when people have already made up their minds on the matter. Shit, if they can do that then educate children on more black historical figures, other then every Febuary telling them MLK gave a speech, Rosa didn't move and Harriet hid in basements. Ask most children to name black historical figures you won't get past that. Children need to see more then just ignorant shit on BET and MTV.

Racist/white supremacist agenda!

The thing is,many people(myself included) feel that homosexuality is wrong.Force feeding my children to accept it is just wrong.The debate is for adults to argue and should not be involving children.Just let the parents teach sexuality.Sexuality has no place in the classroom whatsoever IMO.

WTF is Gay History?

I agree but IMO private schools will follow suit if they want any funding.Gays will use the same strategy that they used woth boyscouts and every other oraganization that doesnt support them.They will attack their funding.

How can people fear what they dont know when its all over the place..Its on MTV,Television shows,Movies,etc and etc.

The gay community want to force their agenda down our throats but when a fucking comedian or anyone makes fun of them they want to be outrage..They cant have it both ways.

I dont give a fuck about gay people but when they try to force their fucking agenda down our throats and people say its not cool they want to get upset....I think its ridiculous that that you cant even criticize them because you will be called a homophobe...What part of the game is that bullshit....

James Baldwin

Langston Hughes

just to name a few


and while I am certainly against the bill as written, since I dont think ones sexuality needs to be introduced to kids while they are learning social studies (like that dictates one ideology or some shit)

they need to find a way to stop dehumanizing people who are in fact gay, this bill is not it

and yep, private school folks

Black people with means, if you can, stay the fuck out of the public school system, its not working anymore

You niggas still aint getting it...they are teaching it because THERE IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN GAY white people in charge of AMERICA.

If you think the founding fathers of America were not HOMOSEXUALS wake up. America was a colony for undesirables. Every picture of Ben Franklin they show you is of him giving the SHORT EYE. These CACs will casually brag on their GREEK and ROMAN ancestors because they know you idiots are too blind and powerless to resist the obvious. Homosexuality is a part of the white culture period. Racism as a tool is utilized primarly by the closet white gay population that prefers segregation and submission of minorities to the idea that blacks or hispanics know all the inner workings of the white gay population who retain power and leverage in this country.

THESE WHITE FOLKS were gay and have always been GAY in America, they just were not flying the rainbow flag. Best believe black women were not the only ones getting raped on those plantations, plenty of your male ancestors were taking that WOOD when master was in the mood..

Niggas.. wake up the GAME IS FIXED for a reason...

Private schools are PRIVATE. PRIVATE funding paid for by the tuition parents pay to that private school. If parents don't want faggotry taught in their private schools, faggotry won't get taught, PERIOD.

Niggas tithe 14 Billion Dollars ANNUALLY to these pulpit faggots, if they allocated that money towards building private schools, we wouldn't have to worry about this bullshit.
