I don't know how many of you have actually read the SB777, I have and while I may not agree with everything it says, it doesn't say anything about promoting homosexuality in the education setting. What it is attempting to do is prevent the "discrimination of pupils based on gender, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic contained in the definition of hate crimes that is contained in the Penal Code." (SB777, I have seen other information which states "mom and dad will be considered promoting bias against homosexuals" I didn't read anything in the SB which referred to the label "mom and dad" as promoting bias against homosexuals. I find it hard to believe that this is going to do anything more significant than it did for students with disabilities, women, and minorities. Unfortunately at this time our country seems to be full of fear, and those fears are being transferred into hate to different groups including those of different sexual orientation, disabilities, women, and minorities. So I guess until we no longer have hate crimes and we can all come to tolerate others we will need our government to set up regulations and rules for how we conduct ourselves.
