It has drawn criticism from some religious and conservative groups, like the Traditional Values Coalition, a lobby organization that says it speaks on behalf of more than 43,000 churches.
"It is an outrage that Governor Jerry Brown has opened the classroom door for homosexual activists to indoctrinate the minds of California's youth, since no factual materials would be allowed to be presented," Rev. Louis Sheldon, chairman and founder of the Traditional Values Coalition, said in a statement.
"If parents don't already have their children out of public schools, this should cause them to remove them," he said.
you all know where I stand on this issue and you can bet this will cause a fire storm of outrage in a lot of the California schools amung parent's teachers and some students, just my opinion.

This is a great example of why our society is intolerant and ignorant. Not solely because you aren't "pro" this issue, but since when did we have to agree and advocate everything we teach in schools? Education is about learning all different avenues and areas in life to build a greater depth of knowledge from, some are more direct and some are open for discussion, but never is something not taught because you find it wrong or offensive. That's just censorship at the hands of bigotry.CONservative governMENt
Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis0 -

In my opinion, the fact that we accept intolerance and ignorance, it is simply making us all worse as a society. We debate and entertain such nonsense which only emboldens such thoughts and ideas. It's no different from trying to debate 2+2=5, but for some reason because there's religious beliefs or similar, we tolerate it or will even listen to it. It's time to be intolerant of ignorance.. how's that for a bumper sticker!keeponrockin wrote:

Everything in our culture (including education system) is indoctrination. The President speaking to school children regardless of his message should be considered a good thing. Our school books, the info we're teaching children is a bunch of wise-tales and half-truthes...we're building kids to be misinformed and believe in hope, the future and good things our world/nation represents.. but its not until they get old enough to gain more knowledge and build their own opinions on matters people realize what a load of bs most of it is. So having any President passing a positive message to kids is a bad thing?? Shows you how f'ed up our society and political climate is in our nation.gimmesometruth27 wrote:i like when people call it indoctrinating, like when obama indoctrinated all of the kids by giving them a pep talk on the first day of school last year.CONservative governMENt

I'm not nice huh? I find it funny that you're complaining cause I called a spade a spade, yet find it ok to be pretty blase about bigotry and discrimination. You justify such ideas and thoughts to yourself, but it doesn't mean it's ok... atleast not to me.Godfather. wrote:now that wasn't very nice FiveB did you wake up on the wrong side of the back seat today ?
