In a recent article, Frank Pastore discusses issues with the special election which granted Arnold Schwarzenegger the office of Govenor of California. Pastore challenges that by electing Arnold, (because he could win, and was "better than the liberal Cruz Bustamante") we were forced to sacrifice many traditional conservative values that we would normally demand from a conservative (usually Republican) candidate. Pastore is now warning we are in the same predicament with the presidential race which is currently under way for the 2008 election. Pastore claims that we are going to again sacrifice our conservative values in favor of Rudy, because he is "better than the liberal Hillary."
While Pastore enjoys discussing the politics and candidates, I am more concerned with how Schwarzenegger's decisions will affect California schools, and the text books which our children are taught out of. Here is an excerpt from the article:
"...Starting January 1, 2008, California will implement SB-777, a bill that goes far beyond the old standard of public schools not being able to do anything that would “reflect adversely” on homosexuality. Now, the new standard is you can’t do anything that would show either a “discriminatory bias” against homosexuality or anything that would favor heterosexuality.
Let me put this in simple terms. Textbooks that now refer to “mother and father” or “mom and dad” or “King and Queen” will soon have to also include—with equal emphasis—“mom and mom,” “dad and dad” and “king and king.” There shall be no preference of any kind shown to heterosexuality.
Kids, K-12, will learn that every form of family is just as “normal” as every other form. The textbooks that comply will no longer elevate as the ideal that children have both a loving mom and a loving dad, all they’ll need is “a nurturing caregiver”—or maybe a village. They’ll be taught “male” and “female” are mere social constructs that have nothing to do with sexuality or “plumbing.” Increasingly, children will be encouraged to explore their own “gender,” which means they’ll be encouraged to experiment with all forms of sexuality since nothing is “abnormal.” We’ll throw them condoms, pass out Plan B in the health center, and even put 6th grade middle school girls on the pill to ensure that we make sex “safe.” And when some get pregnant, and others get the inevitable diseases, we’ll just take them for an abortion or for treatments under HillaryCare—all during school hours, and all without their parents having a clue...
