Something our nation should be aware of... In California on Wednesday, June 3, bill SB1437 was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee, sending it on to the Senate floor. If the Senate approves this bill, it will move to the Assembly, where it faces at least one committee vote and a vote of the full Assembly. Governor Schwarzenegger has taken no position on this bill yet. So what is the bill about? If passed, it will require California public school textbooks to teach about the homosexual lifestyle and its "positive" influence in our history, all under the guise of "anti-discrimination. This bill will require the state of California to remove all references to gender in public schools (i.e., "mom", "dad", "husband", "wife", etc.); it could also potentially require gender-neutral bathrooms in the schools. The bill also applies to school activities, which include cheerleading, sports, and events like prom (there would be no prom "king" or "queen").
You can urge the Governor to veto this bill if the Assembly passes it. If you or someone you know lives in California, please ask them to call 916-445-2841.
Press 1 to hear the recording in English, 2 for Spanish.
You will then be asked: Is this in regards to a legislation bill? Press 2 for Yes Is the bill SB1437? Press 1 for Yes Are you in favor of this legislation? Press 2 for No

Up until there, that is a very good thing. Anti-discrimination is very good, and I'm sure none of you will argue with me there.

CA governor sent out an email stating his position on this bill and that he fully opposes it and will veto it if it comes to his desk. WHEW!

Including MY faith, flying spaghetti monsterism. Also, please note, that it is disrespectful to preach about the FSM wearing anything other than full pirate regalia.
