Linda and others, While waiting for a webpage to load on my PC at work, I slowly turned my chair around to view my TV screen. Lo and behold what do I see but "CA state legislature discusses banning mom & dad". Now not comprehending what that meant, I put on my headphones to listen ... yup, just as the headline states, a talking head was saying how the terms, "Mom & Dad" are discriminatory to homosexual and trans-sexual families and the CA state legislature is talking about banning this terms. Well AT couldn't do it but this story line did ... I'm speechless Toothless Dawg Proud father, dad, grandfather, grandpa, and papaw until the day I die!!!! |

Good Lord........ Next thing you know we'll be hearing things like Uncle Frank and Aunt Jack....... As I have stated too many times to remember: Some people need to grow a pair, get thicker skins, and stop actively looking for things that offend them. |

Okay, I'm back. Thanks for the heads up TD. I found this on WND, and it already came before the governor before and thankfully he vetoed it, but they're trying it again. If you live in California here's a link to send a letter to your state senator. These people are out of their minds!!! What the heck is wrong with the legislature in California?! Story link BRAVE NEW SCHOOLS Ban on 'mom' and 'dad' considered – again California agenda would require K-12 'gay' indoctrination -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: April 27, 2007 1:00 a.m. Eastern By Bob Unruh © 2007 WorldNetDaily.com A plan that has been launched in the California state Assembly – again – could be used to ban references to "mom" and "dad" in public schools statewide by prohibiting anything that would "reflect adversely" on the homosexual lifestyle choice. It's similar to a plan WND reported was approved by lawmakers last year, but fell by the wayside when Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed it. "SB 777 forcibly thrusts young school children into dealing with sexual issues, requiring that homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality be taught in a favorable light," according to an alert issued by the Capitol Resource Institute. "Not only does SB 777 require that classroom instruction and materials promote and embrace controversial sexual practices, it also bans school-sponsored activities from 'reflecting adversely' on homosexuals, bisexuals and transsexuals," the group said. "Pushing this radical homosexual agenda in California schools will stifle the truth in favor of political correctness and will inevitably conflict with the religious and moral convictions of both students and parents," said CRI Executive Director Karen England. "The full ramifications of this sweeping legislation could affect the entire nation as most textbook companies tailor their material to their number one purchaser: California." She noted that Los Angeles schools already have implemented most of the proposals now pending for districts across the state, and among the changes are: "Mom" and "dad" and "husband" and "wife" would have to be edited from all texts. Cheerleading and sports teams would have to be gender-neutral. Prom kings and queens would be banned, or if featured, would have to be gender neutral so that the king could be female and the queen male. Gender-neutral bathrooms could be required for those confused about their gender identity. A male who believes he really is female would be allowed into the women's restroom, and a woman believing herself a male would be allowed into a men's room. Even scientific information, such has statistics showing AIDS rates in the homosexual community, could be banned. "It's embarrassing that we've got kids who can't pass their exit exams, but we add all sorts of complications [to school]," she told WND. She cited an informational document published by the Gay-Straight Alliance Network and the Transgender Law Center. "If you want to use a restroom that matches your gender identity … you should be allowed to do so," it advises. "Whenever students are divided up into boys and girls, you should be allowed to join the group or participate in the program that matches your gender identity as much as possible." Further, the groups advise, "If you change your name to one that better matches your gender identity, a school needs to use that name to refer to you." Randy Thomasson, of the Campaign for Children and Families, noted that the proposal was made by 'lesbian state senator Sheila James Kuehl, D-Santa Monica." "Schools need to do a much better job teaching kids reading, writing and arithmetic, not a better job advertising controversial sexual lifestyles to captive six-year-olds," he said. He also noted that, just as last year, two other bills also are pending: AB 394 by Assemblyman Lloyd Levine, D-Van Nuys, would demand that schools distribute to students "anti-harassment" education programs, and AB 675 by Assemblyman Mike Eng, D-Monterey Park, would give $1 million to pay for homosexual, bisexual and transsexual activists to turn 10 public schools into "sexual indoctrination centers." Last year three similar bills were approved by California lawmakers, but were vetoed by the governor. Many groups, including several national outreaches such as the Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family, had lobbied for the veto. One of last year's plans would have required the State Board of Education to increase sensitivity to so-called "discrimination." Under the plan the state Superintendent of Public Instruction would have had unlimited discretion to withhold state funds from schools that did not comply with that individual's interpretation of the law. A second would have "integrated tolerance training" into history and social science curriculum and started a pilot program that would have forced students to learn a "new definition" of tolerance, one that would require them to not only accept but advocate for homosexuality, bisexuality and transgenderism, according to the CRI. The third would have banned anything that "reflected adversely" on homosexuals, bisexuals or transgenders. Former Assemblyman Larry Bowler, R-Elk Grove, described them as no more or less than "indoctrination, designed to inculcate our children and our grandchildren." As WND has reported, California lawmakers also are considering a plan to make it a criminal offense to spank children with a spoon or similar instrument. |

Linda, Great link ... I guess seeing the intent of this action on TV also brought my mental capacities to a halt also ... I hadn't thought of the 'far-reaching' effects and expense of something like this being enacted. Sic 'em, Linda!!! |

Excuse me, but I thought it wasn't a "Life Style Choice" to be Gay. Then lo and behold, here comes the Gays of California to say that "Mom and Dad" causes a stigma for those who make the "Gay Lifestyle Choice"? Am I the only one to see the inconsitancy of this????? Then too of course, when we lived in California at Hamilton AFB in the early 70's, they Gays successfully lobbied to have the Bay Area quit calling Ferry Boats, Ferry Boats and instead call them Commuter Boats. We wondered if they weren't proud of their Navy anymore? This is just more of trying to get us to believe you can pick a turd up by the clean end. |

It just goes to show how some folks - some that are no longer in a 'closet' set free by fairies - have an agenda all their own of what is most 'important' to them. THEM! |

How did Archie Bunker describe California? "The land of fruits and nuts." Well, the nuts are protecting the fruits. The pc bs has got to stop. Califonia has always enacted, or tried to enact, some crazy laws. I guess all the queers will have to stop calling their moms "mom". And kids don't need sexual indoctrination centers. This type of crap has no place in our schools. |

My favorite:
All of the 'not confused about the gender identity' will be in there doing the wild thing....in the bathroom stalls... and no one would question them. As far as the rest, I am with Sue -

That's what happened when clinton was in office. People would walk in the bathrooms/showers after workouts and there would be homosexual/lesbian acts taking place with no concern for who else was around.

How big of a project would it be to move all the "straights" out of California, all the "gays" into it, and float it out into the Pacific?

I'd write a check for my part. We have to get Pelosi and Clintons out there to kiss up just before the launch. Have the DNC there and launch during the dance part. |

That was my first thought too, but then I thought about Linda and she shouldn't have move cause of a bunch of nuts. That said, she'd be very welcome in Kansas! I know I'd welcome her and I think NHA would too! |

Wow, banning "Mom and Dad"!! Can they really do this?? I personally don't care what sexual preference people decide they want, (it's up to God to judge them, not me), but to say that the terms "Mom and Dad" need to be banned, is just taking things a little too far. What are we supposed to call our parents? I'm beginning to understand why I love living in the small South Eastern town of Indiana that I do. |
