SB 1260 (Hayden) would require a homosexual curriculum to be developed and taught to schoolchildren as young as kindergarten, including mandated training sessions on "homophobia."From the legislation: "This bill, an urgency measure, extends to the Internal Audits and Special Investigations Unit within the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) special investigative authority including the authority to conduct hearings, administer oaths, subpoena witnesses and subpoena records."
There is NO mention of any homosexual curriculum in any way shape or form in
this bill.
From the legislation: "This bill establishes the Dignity for All Students
Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in all
school activities. Specifically, this bill: 1) Prohibits discrimination on the
basis of sexual orientation by education institutions (except for religious
schools) that receive public funds. 2) Requires that the governing boards of
a school district or community college to ensure that their programs and
activities do not discriminate on the basis of sexual
orientation. 3) Prohibits a teacher from giving instruction, and a school
district from sponsoring an activity or adopting instructional materials,
that adversely affect a person on the basis of their sexual orientation.
There is NOTHING in the bill about promoting homosexuality, etc.
The penalties cited are just the same as for any other form of
discrimination (e.g., based on sex, age, ethnicity, religion, physical
handicap, etc.) and using the same statute of limitation for filing
complaints of discrimination. The only "coersion" would be to force people
to accept other people based upon their abilities to do the job, not the
color of their skin, not the fact that the person goes home to a person of
the same gender.
From the official analysis: "Opponents of this bill argue that churches will
be forced to hire homosexual employees if this bill passes, although
nonprofit religious organizations are specifically exempt from FEHA.
Opponents also object to providing protection for a group of people whose
behavior offends them. Opponents object to giving homosexuals "minority
status." However, this bill does not create a new protected class because
discrimination in employment on the basis of sexual orientation is already
prohibited under current law. This bill simply provides the same statute of
limitations, administrative procedures, and remedies for all victims of
discrimination."
(for a critique of the above see this page)
AB 222 (Kuehl) would result in homosexual curriculum and promotion of
homosexual "marriage" to students in K-12 public schools, public
colleges, and
universities.
This bill actually failed in '95 and was voted down on 6/4/99 (40 to 38).
AB 1001 (Villaraigosa) awards official minority status to
homosexuality and bisexuality, putting "sexual orientation" on the same
level as race and
ethnicity.
This means tax-funded investigations and $25,000 fines could be used to
coerce
property owners, business owners, religious book stores, religious radio
stations,
and even some churches that oppose homosexuality.
From the legistation analysis: "This bill increases the time allowed for
filing a claim of employment discrimination based on sexual orientation from
30 days to one year of an alleged incident. (This is the effect of moving
provisions governing such discrimination from the Labor Code to the Fair
Employment and Housing Code.)"
