"Openly Christian state Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, introduced a bill today that would require public school materials to include the historical contributions of Christian people as a way to fight bullying.
Leno's Senate Bill 48 is similar to a proposal that was approved by the Legislature in 2006 but vetoed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
"Most textbooks don't include any historical information about the Christian movement, which has great significance to both California and U.S. history," Leno said in a press release. Leno was recently named to prominent leadership as chairman of the Senate Budget Committee.
Leno added: "Our collective silence on this issue perpetuates negative stereotypes of Christian people and leads to increased bullying of young people."
I might answer your questions once you answer mine.
IT'S F#@king SCHOOL!! Teach reading, writing, math, history etc. WHY DO WE HAVE TO TEACH CHILDREN ANYTHING ELSE??
This is one more way they will waste valuable time and resourses teaching crap that won't make kids any smarter. We are already headed for last place compared to the rest of the world.
California fails in almost everything they do, why should the rest of us follow? Next they'll propose a mandatory class on masterbation for the "unattractive" so they won't miss out on any good orgasms. I wish that damn state would hurry up and fall into the ocean.
While they are at it, teach tolerance for fat people, ugly people, skinny people, smelly people, stupid people, and liberal Californians.
You will find that to be the common tactic by the bleeding heart Liberals around here.
No...it is a common tactic to accuse liberals of it by conservatives. Ever so sorry conservatives, it 75 degrees here and I took the dog for a nice long walk, that's a lot more fun than being ambushed by conservatives here.....you are like a bunch of jackals.
FYI....I don't happen to agree with the legislation, but you don't care about that, you will accuse me of supporting it anyway. I also see no relevance in trouble's post about Christians, we already have religious tolerance in this country, it's right there since day one in our constitution. But there is no tolerance yet for gays and lesbians....some want to deny them certain jobs, or the right to marry.........when was the last time a Christian was not allowed to get a job as teacher because of his/her religion? When was the last time a Christian wasn't allowed to marry. I'm in favor of non-descrimination, I wish we could accomplish it without legislation.....but as long as we have neanderthal thinking from the conservatives in this country we may have no choice but to legislate tolerance. I would hate that.....we have too much legislation telling us how to live our lives already, but like equal rights amendment....it may well come to that for sexual orientation, if only to make the hate and discrimination illegal.
If only that's all the agenda is for Archer, most of us would agree with you, but you are too blinded with your opinions to understand that they are teaching it in the schools to make it the new normal. It isn't normal, nor is it okay to INDOCTRINATE the youth to think that it is!!!! Whether you can wrap your head around that part or not, is the problem. You and your damn PC crap is the problem not the solution.
I asked for proof, or at least a credible source for this "indoctrination" you all are so afraid of. I have seen none of it, haven't seen any reference to it happening except in the minds of some conservatives. really nmysys, the sky is not falling, the gay monster under the bed is only in your own small mind, and they are not coming to take the children away to gay-land. Get a grip.....a catholic kindergarden teacher won't make your kids catholic, and a gay kindergarden teacher won't make your kids gay. What a bunch of hooey you are puttin out there.
