JAIL TIME 4 THOUGHT CRIME? Gay, if not particularly Merry Old England is about to enact new Thought Crime Laws, as the following articles discuss, that provide for up to Seven Years in Prison for saying 'Ungood' things about the behaviors of the radical gender feminist / homosex lobby. Should America, in addition to the New Laws requiring Mandatory Pandering - also institute Civil or Criminal Penalties for those who say 'Ungood' things about Homo-Anal Behaviors or Dyke Misandry???

A family in Germany has been fined $6,300 - for the crime of home-schooling their children.
German officials are intent on enforcing a Nazi-era dictat and stamping out "parallel societies that are based on religion," and are determined to punish parents who refuse "to give their children over to the state school system."
Authorities have already searched the home of this family to find items to sell to pay the fine, and are considering throwing the father in jail to pressure him to change his mind. If that doesn't work, police have threatened to enter the home and drag the children off to school.
Be mindful that the teachers' union in Idaho, the Idaho Education Association, is relentlessly opposed to all forms of parental choice in education, and would do the same kinds of things here if they could. The IVA will continue to stand against the IEA's threat to parental authority in matters of education.

Liberal activists are so hard up for actual hate crimes that they have to keep inventing them.
A student at George Washington University was caught by a hidden camera drawing six swastikas on her own dorm room door before she complained to campus authorities that she had been the target of hate.
She is apparently implicated in other hate crimes complaints on the GWU campus as well.
This is reminiscent of the BSU student who beat himself up on Boise's Greenbelt after the 2006 passage of Idaho's marriage amendment, and then tried to pass off his wounds as evidence of a hate crime.
Self-inflicted fake hate crimes are increasingly common. In fact, if you Google "fake hate crime" you will instanly get 3,100 hits.
The GWU student association scheduled a town hall forum for last night, for the purpose of discussing the prevention of hateful acts on campus. Sounds like the place to begin is with activist liberal students.

Just the Facts on SB 777
· There is legal protection for students without SB 777
· SB 777 changes the law on instruction and activities
· Protection for homosexual, bisexual, and transgender students has been law since 2000.
o The Student Safety and Violence Prevention Act of 2000 (AB 537) protects "all persons in public schools." It prohibits discrimination based on actual and perceived sexual orientation.
o It explicitly extends protection from the California Penal Code to schools. The Penal Code protects all people in the enjoyment of their rights, as secured in the federal Constitution, United States law, the state Constitution, and state laws.
o AB 394, passed in 2007, requires the State Department of Education to "monitor adherence" to AB 537. This may include state monitoring of student attitudes on sexual orientations.
o Bottom line: AB 537 establishes equal protection for every California public school student, which makes SB 777 unnecessary.
· SB 777 does not streamline existing California Educational Code. It adds to the law.
o AB 537 purposely excluded school instruction and activities from non-discrimination law.
o It reads: "Nothing in [AB 537] requires the inclusion of any curriculum, textbook, presentation, or other material in any program or activity ---"
o SB 777 purposely adds new mandates for school instruction and activities.
o It reads: "No teacher shall give instruction nor shall a school district sponsor any activity that promotes a discriminatory bias" against homosexuality, bisexuality, or transsexuality.
o Bottom line: SB 777 adds school instruction and activities to the things that cannot promote "bias," which elevates homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality in public schools.
· SB 777 is a mandate for every school district, ending local control on sensitive issues.
o Under the equal protection of AB 537, each school district has discretion over how it addresses the sensitive issues of homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality.
o SB 777 takes away parental and local control and discretion over how to address these issues.
o SB 777 specifically includes charter schools in these new mandates.
o Bottom line: SB 777 normalizes homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality across the state, without room for local discretion on addressing these issues.

Maryland County Poised to Promote Gender Confusion
The Montgomery County Council, in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C., is due to vote November 13 on Bill 23-07, to outlaw "discrimination" in housing, employment, and "public accommodations" on the basis of "gender identity"--which, if you don't know, means whether you feel male or female, not whether you were born that way.
Critics immediately asked whether the "public accommodations" would include restrooms, locker rooms and showers (such as those at public swimming pools).
The County Attorney said that under the proposed law, it would still be possible to segregate those facilities on the basis of biological sex.
Astonishingly, a committee of the Council then passed an amendment to insure that men who dress as women would be able to use the women's restroom, locker room, and shower. Their "female" identity must be "publicly and exclusively expressed or asserted," but no change in their male anatomy is required.
The bill dismisses the sexual identity embedded in our internal and external sex organs and the chromosomes of every cell of our bodies as merely being "assigned . . . at birth."
If you live in Montgomery County (or even if you don't), let the County Council know that you oppose this lunacy by calling their 24-hour comment line at (240) 777-7999,(**The Comment Line has just been DISCONECTED - Call 777-7900 for live abuse from these sick perverts) or emailing the addresses listed at the website below:

America's Pro-Family Leaders Selling Out Pro-Family Values:
Latest Hypocrisy is Pat Robertson's Endorsement of Giuliani
Thomasson: "Pat Robertson is casting a blind eye to Rudy Giuliani's
big-time advocacy of the transsexual, bisexual, and homosexual agenda"
Campaign for Children and Families does not support or oppose candidates for public office, and provides the following information solely for educational purposes.
Sacramento, California -- Campaign for Children and Families (CCF), a leading West Coast pro-family organization, condemns the selling out of family values in the U.S. presidential race by national pro-family leaders, such as Pat Robertson, who today endorsed liberal Republican candidate Rudy Giuliani.
"Pat Robertson is leading pro-family voters astray by abandoning moral standards for government,' said CCF President Randy Thomasson. "This shocking news is a 180-degree turn by the founder of the Christian Coalition. Pat Robertson is casting a blind eye to Rudy Giuliani's big-time advocacy of the transsexual, bisexual, and homosexual agenda -- an intolerant agenda that harms children, religious freedom, parental rights, the institution of marriage, and the Boy Scouts."
It's well known in New York City that former mayor Rudy Giuliani marched in "lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender" parades, held "lesbian and gay pride breakfasts" at Gracie Mansion, dressed up several times as a woman, led the hijacking of marriage rights at New York City Hall, and personally demeaned marriage by divorcing his first two wives and committing adultery.

• Giuliani's cross-dressing videos:
1997: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb2y1IM17sM
2000: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IrE6FMpai8
"Pro-family voters in California were fooled by a liberal Republican named Arnold Schwarzenegger, and he's rewarded them by signing a raft of anti-family laws," said Thomasson. "Will Giuliani do the same if he becomes president?" (See www.savecalifornia.com/getactive/arnoldsrecord.php)
Other national pro-family leaders have endorsed former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, despite Romney's consistent support for most of the homosexual-bisexual-transsexual agenda, including advocating for homosexual scoutmasters.
(See www.massresistance.org/docs/marriage/romney/record/)
"It's scandalous how some of America's pro-family leaders have abandoned pro-family voting standards," said Thomasson. "If the pro-family community throws away its values, the pro-family community stands for nothing. And if pro-family voters are willing to get behind any popular Republican, no matter how liberal, would they support Hillary Clinton if she became a Republican? Or would the family values of pro-family leaders suddenly reappear? On moral values, Clinton and Giuliani are nearly identical."

New law could make gay jokes illegal
By Toby Helm, Chief Political Correspondent
telegraph.co.uk 08/11/2007
The right to crack jokes or be rude about homosexuals could fall victim to new government laws to stamp out "homophobic" behaviour, Rowan Atkinson, the Blackadder star warned yesterday...
His concern is that Labour ministers are so obsessed with creating laws to stop people being rude about each other that they are putting in danger the right to free speech and, equally dear to his heart, the comedian's craft.
In a letter to a newspaper he accused ministers of filling their legislative programme with measures that have "serious implications for freedom of speech, humour and creative expression".
Atkinson was referring to measures in the Criminal Justice Bill, currently passing through Parliament, which could mean people who stir up hatred against homosexuals being put in prison for up to seven years.
He said the Government measures, which could be expanded to cover hatred against disabled or transgendered people, seemed to be "infinitely extendable".
"Witness the fact that the Government has invited two
additional groups - the disabled and transsexuals - to 'make the case' for the proposed legislation to be extended to them.
"I am sure that they could make a very good case, as indeed could all those who can claim that they cannot help being the way they are. Men, for example, or women. Or people with big ears."
Atkinson added: "The devil, as always, will be in the detail but the casual ease which some people move from finding something offensive to wishing to declare it criminal - and are then able to find factions within government to aid their ambitions - is truly depressing."

Training Derailed in Delaware (FRC)
One week after an education watchdog group blew the whistle on a controversial "diversity training" program at the University of Delaware, school officials have announced that the program has been halted.
When FIRE, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, published excerpts from the curriculum, outraged parents flooded the campus with calls and emails, demanding an explanation.
As you may remember, more than 7,000 students were asked to participate in sessions designed to "reprogram" young people's worldviews with shocking generalizations about racism, sexual orientation, and moral philosophy. President Patrick Harker, who was in China when the story first broke, returned to cancel the activities.
"No[thing] further... under the current framework will be conducted," he stated. "There are questions about [the program's] practices that must be addressed, and there are reasons for concern that the actual purpose is not being fulfilled."
Those who complained about the implications of the program were pleased with the decision but still unsatisfied. Like us, they would like to see the "training" entirely abolished.
Any program that seeks to impose its views in the name of "diversity" creates more barriers than it eliminates. Such is the case in Delaware, where the emphasis was not on cultural cohesion but ideological enslavement. Join us in urging the University to make the program's current hiatus a permanent one.

Foster couple challenges homosexuality laws By Andrew Pierce 23/02/2008 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news
Lawyers are to seek a judicial review of a decision by social workers to ban a Christian couple from fostering young children because they refused to sign up to new gay equality laws...
The action against Labour-controlled Derby City Council is likely to become a test case for the Government's Sexual Orientation Regulations. Social workers rejected an application by Eunice and Owen Johns, who have four grown-up children, to be foster parents because they refused to agree to tell any children in their care that homosexual lifestyles were acceptable.
The couple, who have been married for 39 years, had applied to offer weekend respite care for foster children under the age of 10.

Perceived Queen 4 A Day or Longer
As pointed out - the 'Pander or Perish' laws in Canada now attack the Catholic Church Schools by requiring they teach kids to pretend that Drag Queens can deny their DNA and 'change gender' - as a 'mental trick' that only they can know about based on thier 'perception'.
For the rest of us - it means that those who change legal (if not actual) gender at a whim are now in charge of the Thought Police where it counts - in the Public Toilets...

Coed locker rooms given green light- Statute allows people to 'choose a gender'
November 14, 2007 By Bob Unruh © 2007 WorldNetDaily.com
Coed locker rooms could be a reality now that a new statute to allow people to "choose a gender" has been approved in Maryland.
But the measure, given the green light by elected officials in Montgomery County, will soon be the subject of a court challenge, according to a non-profit public-interest law firm.
"The definition for 'gender identity' is so vague that no individual of ordinary intelligence can possibly know when they are violating Chapter 27," Robert Tyler, general counsel for the Advocates for Faith & Freedom, told county officials in a letter.
"Pursuant to the definition of 'gender identity,' an individual can choose a gender without limitation whatsoever," he said.
Tyler's comments referred to the newly approved county law 27-03, which creates a protected class of citizenry for those individuals who claim a "gender identity" issue.
As WND reported, the proposal generated a groundswell of opposition when it became known.Essentially, the plan opens the doors of all public accommodations, including facilities such as locker rooms, to those who "perceive" they are of that gender.
"From what I'm reading, the person with the gender identity confusion is being protected by what she or he FEELS he or she is.
Thus, we'd have to protect this person's gender based upon what is in his or her MIND. So, if I'm in a bathroom all by myself late at night, and a man walks in, I am supposed to be okay with this? If I'm at a pool, in a women's locker room, and a man walks in – I'm supposed to be okay with this? This is truly unbelievable, and I'm embarrassed that Montgomery County is even spending its time on this piece of nonsense," a resident, identified as "Lisa," wrote to her elected representative on the board.
WND also reported officials for Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays were raising concerns.
"Any time politicians write a law that violates the rights of others by forcibly invading their privacy, and forcing faith-based organizations and small employers to hire cross-dressers is bad law," said Regina Griggs, executive director of PFOX.
Tyler told WND that, presuming Ike Leggett, the county executive, signs the plan into law as expected, a lawsuit will be filed.
"We're working on it at this point in time to evaluate it," he said. "We do expect to file a lawsuit, it's just a matter of when." His earlier letter to the county suggesting that the plan be dropped warned it is unconstitutionally vague, infringes on the rights of religious groups and puts the privacy and safety of citizens at risk by allowing peple with a mental disorder to decide which restrooms, locker rooms and other facilities they use.
...county officials boasted of their accomplishment in the plan to "prohibit discrimination against transgender people... primary focus of my bill to expressly prohibit discrimination against transgender citizens in the workplace, the housing market and delivery of services," Trachtenberg said in a statement.
Griggs noted, however, that the American Psychiatric Association classifies gender identity disorder as a treatable mental illness, and Tyler called for county officials to start protecting and representing the citizens in the county.
"The female residents of Montgomery County clearly have a right of privacy that prohibits all persons of the opposite sex 'from using a restroom, locker room, or other similar facility designated for females'. It is ridiculous to place the desires of persons suffering from gender identity disorder in front of the constitutional rights and safety of 99 percent of the residents in Montgomery County," he said...
the plan "will allow males who self identify themselves as females to have open access to ALL women's and girls' rest rooms, locker rooms, dressing rooms, and showers. In other words, a male teacher or student will be able to use the female restrooms and locker rooms if he thinks he is a female."
"Gender identity nondiscrimination laws such as this one have been used in Canada to force the teaching of the acceptance of homosexuality on Catholic schools. MCPS health classes currently teach our 12-year-olds that 'gender identity is your inner sense of whether you are male or female'," the group said.
Spokeswoman Michelle Turner said it is an issue of modesty, safety and privacy for children.
"The proposed legislation … still includes 'public accommodations' among major areas covered by the non-discrimination bill," she said.
"The Montgomery County Council has voiced callousness and arrogance to the concerns of parents who object. When asked by a mother concerned about her 10-year-old daughter who swims at the Germantown Indoor Pool, where she must undress in front of women since there are no separate changing rooms, if under this law she could be changing next to a person with male genitals, Council member George Leventhal responded via email: 'I cannot absolutely put to rest your concern that girls might find themselves in a locker room or dressing room in the presence of a person who expresses or asserts herself as a woman but who still has male genitals, but based on my own sense of the prevalence of that condition in the population, I think the likelihood of that occurring is remote,'" PFOX said.
This is just the latest battle Griggs and PFOX have encountered in the region. The pro-homosexual group Truth Wins Out earlier accused her of fabricating a report that a "gay" assaulted a volunteer at a county fair booth. Police later confirmed for WND that the incident did happen as Griggs reported.
In fact, police said they located the suspect based on the victim's description and ended up escorting him off the fairgrounds.
PFOX also is engaged in a fight in Montgomery County seeking a court order to halt a public school sex curriculum because it contains "scientifically flawed and politically biased" information.
The organization joined with Citizens for a Responsible Curriculum and the Family Leader Network in filing the request for the court-ordered stay of the program targeting middle school and high school students in the district.
The organizations said the local board, headed by Nancy Navarro, adopted the curriculum that teaches [bleep] sex as unexceptional and "intentionally excludes" warnings issued by the Centers for Disease Control and the National Institutes of Health of the high medical dangers related to those behaviors.
"The curriculum also teaches students that homosexuality is 'innate,' a controversial and unproven theory advanced by gay advocacy groups serving on the Montgomery County School Board's curriculum advisory committee," the groups' statement said.
Edward L. White III, trial counsel with the Thomas More Law Center, a prominent public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Mich., is assisting PFOX and the pro-family groups in their lawsuit against the school board.
The curriculum includes lessons intended for eighth-graders and adopts the language and points of emphasis employed by promoters of homosexuality. Also, 10th-graders will be taught about making announcements that they are homosexual and how to use a condom.

Judge orders homeschoolers into government education Court: Family's religious beliefs 'no evidence' of 1st Amendment violation Posted: February 29, 2008 By Bob Unruh © 2008 WorldNetDaily
A California court has ruled that several children in one homeschool family must be enrolled in a public school or "legally qualified" private school, and must attend, sending ripples of shock into the nation's homeschooling advocates as the family reviews its options for appeal.
The ruling came in a case brought against Phillip and Mary Long over the education being provided to two of their eight children. They are considering an appeal to the state Supreme Court, because they have homeschooled all of their children, the oldest now 29, because of various anti-Christian influences in California's public schools.
The decision from the 2nd Appellate Court in Los Angeles granted a special petition brought by lawyers appointed to represent the two youngest children after the family's homeschooling was brought to the attention of child advocates. "We find no reason to strike down the Legislature's evaluation of what constitutes an adequate education scheme sufficient to promote the 'general diffusion of knowledge and intelligence,'" the court said in the case. "We agree … 'the educational program of the State of California was designed to promote the general welfare of all the people and was not designed to accommodate the personal ideas of any individual in the field of education.'"
The words echo the ideas of officials from Germany, where homeschooling has been outlawed since 1938 under a law adopted when Adolf Hitler decided he wanted the state, and no one else, to control the minds of the nation's youth.
Wolfgang Drautz, consul general for the Federal Republic of Germany, has said "school teaches not only knowledge but also social conduct, encourages dialogue among people of different beliefs and cultures, and helps students to become responsible citizens."
Specifically, the appeals court said, the trial court had found that "keeping the children at home deprived them of situations where (1) they could interact with people outside the family, (2) there are people who could provide help if something is amiss in the children's lives, and (3) they could develop emotionally in a broader world than the parents' 'cloistered' setting."
The appeals ruling said California law requires "persons between the ages of six and 18" to be in school, "the public full-time day school," with exemptions being allowed for those in a "private full-time day school" or those "instructed by a tutor who holds a valid state teaching credential for the grade being taught."
The judges ruled in the case involving the Longs the family failed to demonstrate "that mother has a teaching credential such that the children can be said to be receiving an education from a credentialed tutor," and that their involvement and supervision by Sunland Christian School's independent study programs was of no value. Nor did the family's religious beliefs matter to the court.
Their "sincerely held religious beliefs" are "not the quality of evidence that permits us to say that application of California's compulsory public school education law to them violates their First Amendment rights." "Such sparse representations are too easily asserted by any parent who wishes to homeschool his or her child," the court concluded.
The father, Phillip Long, said the family is working on ways to appeal to the state Supreme Court, because he won't allow the pro-homosexual, pro-bisexual, pro-transgender agenda of California's public schools, on which WND previously has reported, to indoctrinate his children.
"We just don't want them teaching our children," he told WND. "They teach things that are totally contrary to what we believe. They put questions in our children's minds we don't feel they're ready for.
"When they are much more mature, they can deal with these issues, alternative lifestyles, and such, or whether they came from primordial slop. At the present time it's my job to teach them the correct way of thinking," he said.
"We're going to appeal. We have to. I don't want to put my children in a public school system that teaches ideologies I don't believe in," he said.
A spokesman for the Home School Legal Defense Association, one of the world's premiere homeschooling advocacy organizations, said the group's experts were analyzing the impact of the decision.
"It's a very unfortunate decision," he said.
Randy Thomasson, of Campaign for Children and Families, said under California law parents have the legal right to create a private school in their home and enroll their own children.
"Children belong to the parents, not to the state," he said. But he acknowledged that there's a great deal of misinformation about the status of homeschooling in California.
"For years the government school establishment has been lying to parents about the law. Just this week, a Los Angeles Unified school district employee lied to a mother who wanted to homeschool, telling her you must have a license, you must be credentialed and you must follow all the state curriculum. That's three lies in one sentence."
"Now we have judges going crazy and actively separating children from their parents."
A legal outline for parents' homeschool rights in California, published by Family Protection Ministries, confirmed Thomasson's description.
The state's legal options for home educators include establishing a private school in their home by filing a private school affidavit with state regulators or enrolling in private school satellite instruction programs or independent study programs, it said.
The Long family had been involved in such a program with Sunland Christian School, but the appeals court took the extraordinary step of banning the family from being involved in that organization any longer, since it was "willing to participate in the deprivation of the children's right to a legal education."
A number of groups already have assembled in California under the Rescue Your Child slogan to encourage parents to withdraw their children from the state's public school system.
It's because the California Legislature and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger worked together to establish Senate Bill 777 and Assembly Bill 394 as law, plans that institutionalize the promotion of homosexuality, bisexuality, transgenderism and other alternative lifestyle choices.
"First, [California] law allowed public schools to voluntarily promote homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality. Then, the law required public schools to accept homosexual, bisexual and transsexual teachers as role models for impressionable children. Now, the law has been changed to effectively require the positive portrayal of homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality to 6 million children in California government-controlled schools," said Thomasson.
Even insiders joined in the call for an abandonment of California's public districts. Veteran public school teacher Nadine Williams of Torrance said the sexual indoctrination laws have motivated her to keep her grandchildren out of the very public schools she used to support.
The Discover Christian Schools website reports getting thousands of hits daily from parents and others seeking information about alternatives to California's public schools.
WND reported leaders of the campaign called California Exodus say they hope to encourage parents of 600,000 children to withdraw them from the public districts this year.
The new law itself technically bans in any school texts, events, class or activities any discriminatory bias against those who have chosen alternative sexual lifestyles, said Meredith Turney, legislative liaison for Capitol Resource Institute.
There are no similar protections for students with traditional or conservative lifestyles and beliefs, however. Offenders will face the wrath of the state Department of Education, up to and including lawsuits.
"SB 777 will result in reverse discrimination against students with religious and traditional family values. These students have lost their voice as the direct result of Gov. Schwarzenegger's unbelievable decision. The terms 'mom and dad' or 'husband and wife' could promote discrimination against homosexuals if a same-sex couple is not also featured," she said.
Karen England, chief of CRI, told WND that the law is not a list of banned words, including "mom" and "dad." But she said the requirement is that the law bans discriminatory bias and the effect will be to ban such terminology.
"Having 'mom' and 'dad' promotes a discriminatory bias. You have to either get rid of 'mom' and 'dad' or include everything when talking about [parental issues]," she said. "They [promoters of sexual alternative lifestyles] do consider that discriminatory."
The California plan still is facing a court challenge on its constitutionality and a possible vote of the people of California if an initiative effort succeeds.

Sinfoul Youth Wingers
As was true in both Orwell's Nightmare of '1984', and was made real in the Nazi Ephebophile Reality of Hitler's Homosex Dream - where the Boy Scouts are destroyed and a New Youth movement committed to Hitler's love for Homo-Anal Buggery instituted...
It is often given to the 'children' to lead the way... In informing on their parents and teachers to the Gestapo / Thought Police.
All done with appropriate guidance from more experienced amd tolerant 'Chicken Hawks' like Ernst Rohm and his stormtrooper pals (and their modern heirs in the radical homosex lobby) of course.
The more things change - the more the Thought Police try to warp them in to New Evils, based on the same old perversions.

Check out "The Local - School slammed for gay slur"
14th November 2007 http://www.thelocal.se/9098/
A school in Stockholm with a Christian profile has received a rap on the knuckles from school authorities for teaching children that homosexuality is sinful...
Having heard the headmaster say that homosexual activity was sinful, the youth wing of RFSL - the Swedish Federation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Rights - reported the school to the education agency..
... head teacher's comments on homosexuality were incompatible with the anti-discrimination policy laid down in the national curriculum.
The agency has given the school until November 30th to show what measures it has taken to rectify the situation.

In a big win for the pro-family movement, the U.S. Congress has dropped legislation from a defense appropriations bill that would have expanded laws against hate crimes to include homosexuals as a specifically protected class, which would have turned the bill essentially into a thought crimes bill and threatened religious liberty and free speech rights.

Homosexual Lobby
Anxiously Awaiting SB 777
While the SB 777 referendum campaign continues to surge forward with increasing strength, the homosexual lobby is busy preparing schools for the new law's implementation.
Last week the Gay Straight Alliance, a homosexual rights group that promotes their agenda in schools, sent out an e-mail instructing their California chapters on how to integrate homosexual history into curriculum. In October-the same month that SB 777 was signed into law by Governor Schwarzenegger-each GSA school unit received a "campaign guide" entitled "Sharing Our Stories: The Fight for LGBTQ-Inclusive Curriculum". This guide was designed to assist students in lobbying their peers and school district to include homosexual, transgender, transsexual and bisexual figures in school textbooks.
In the guide students are told that insisting on LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer) history in school instruction "helps to create schools where students feel safer and more supported." The GSA e-mail cites the California Safe Schools Coalition's assertion that students feel safer when LGBTQ history was included in their classroom instruction. Interestingly, the California Safe Schools Coalition was established in 2000 by AB 537 (Kuehl), the anti-discrimination law that purportedly ended harassment and discrimination of homosexual students.
When AB 537 was passed, the law made clear that it would not apply to school instruction or school activities. Obviously SB 777 was written to now include instruction and activities. These groups are already planning the curriculum before the law even takes effect.
In fact, curriculum inclusion is not sufficient. According to GSA, "tolerance education is an important first step, but we need to push further." Their goal is to "Infuse LGBTQ curriculum into history, social science, and literature classes."
Utilizing the slogan "Let's Set the Record Straight: History Isn't", students are given several action steps to take in accomplishing their "curriculum campaign" goal. These include monitoring classroom instruction to see if LGBTQ individuals are discussed or "made invisible"; taking over class to present LGBTQ history lessons; contacting textbook companies directly about including LGBTQ history; and lobbying school districts to change curriculum.
Students are also encouraged to promote LGBTQ history month in October. Keep in mind that schools are already participating in November's Transgender Day of Remembrance and April's Gay Day of Silence. To promote these "awareness" campaigns, GSA suggests reading "queer poets" poetry over the school intercom during homeroom and lunch. They also recommend organizing a school-wide assembly to hear about LGBTQ history.
The homosexual lobby is active and ambitious. They already have GSA units in many California schools that will oversee the implementation of SB 777.
As evidenced in the GSA e-mail, their agenda is inclusion in school instruction and activities, regardless of their public assertions of "streamlining" anti-discrimination policies in the law.
The SB 777 referendum is our opportunity to take a stand against the indoctrination of innocent school children.
No child should be discriminated against or harassed. But incorporating discussions of and instruction about controversial lifestyles in the classroom does not accomplish this goal. Instead, it undermines parental authority over children's moral upbringing.
We recognize the true agenda of such radical groups and implore you to join us in the campaign to Save Our Kids.

Activist 'banned for life' from criticizing homosexuality - Offending pamphlets quoted ad: 'Man seeking boys ... age not so relevant' 12/15/07 http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=59217
A lifetime ban on public criticism of homosexuality was upheld against a Catholic activist in Canada by his province's superior court.
Bill Whatcott was fined 17,500 Canadian dollars by the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission in a complaint by four homosexuals
who charged he "injured" their "feelings" and "self respect" in pamphlets denouncing the "gay lifestyle" as immoral and dangerous, Lifesite News reported.
Saskatchewan's Court of Queens Bench, which hears criminal and civil
cases, upheld a 2006 decision Tuesday by the provincial Human Rights
Commission.
"This fine is for telling the truth [that] homosexual sodomites can
change their behavior and be set free from their sin and depravity
through the forgiveness of sins and shed blood of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ," Whatcott said. A licensed practical nurse, Whatcott regularly campaigns against the political movement that is rapidly advancing homosexual rights in the Canadian legal system, LifeSiteNews said.
"Shame on the Saskatchewan Court of Queens Bench for pandering to homosexual activism and ignoring the truth," he said.
The provincial Human Rights Commission noted Whatcott was "ordered to
discontinue distributing any materials that promote hatred against
people because of their sexual orientation."
The tribunal held that "preventing the distribution of such materials was a reasonable limit on Whatcott's right to freedom of religion and expression as guaranteed by Section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms."
Whatcott says his pamphlets used "verbatim" a text from a classified personal advertisement in a local homosexual publication that said, "Man seeking boys … age not so relevant."
LifeSiteNews noted Ottawa Citizen columnist David Warren criticized the tribunals as "kangaroo courts" and "star chambers" with "quasi- legal powers that should be offensive to the citizens of any free country ... in which the defendant's right to due process is withdrawn."
A petition to Prime Minister Stephen Harper is being circulated calling for abolishment, or at least curtailment, of the powers of the commissions.
Last month, a Canadian political party leader's posting of a WND
article on homosexuality brought him before the country's Human
Rights Commission to face accusations he was motivated by "hate and
defamation."
Ron Gray of the Christian Heritage Party said he was told directly by
an employee of the Human Rights Commission that the Canadian Human
Rights Act, under which he is being accused, is "about censorship."
Two of the three complaints filed by Edmonton man Rob Wells relate to
the posting of an April 2002 WND story titled "Report: Pedophilia
more common among 'gays.'"
The third complaint against Gray is for several commentaries he wrote
and distributed to party members. One, titled "Sitcom prophet,"
compared the current climate of debate about homosexuality in Canada
to the "Cone of Silence" in the 1960s-era television comedy "Get
Smart."

Catholic Activist "Banned for life" From Publicly Criticising Homosexuality
Saskatchewan Court Upholds Human Rights Commission Ruling
By Hilary White REGINA, Saskatchewan, December 13, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) -
The Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission's decision to impose a "lifetime" ban on a local Catholic's freedom to publicly criticise homosexuality, was upheld this week in its entirety by Saskatchewan Court of Queens Bench.
Bill Whatcott, a licensed practical nurse who lives in Saskatchewan, is a campaigner against the homosexual political movement that is sweeping the Canadian legal system. In 2006, the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission (SHRC) ordered Whatcott to pay $17,500 Cn. to four complainants who complained that their "feelings" and "self-respect" were "injured" by Whatcott's pamphlets denouncing the "gay lifestyle" as immoral and dangerous.
Whatcott responded to the decision, "This fine is for telling the truth [that] homosexual sodomites can change their behaviour and be set free from their sin and depravity through the forgiveness of sins and shed blood of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ."
He added, "Shame on the Saskatchewan Court of Queens Bench for pandering to homosexual activism and ignoring the truth."
In its 2005-2006 Annual Report, the Commission noted that Whatcott was "ordered to discontinue distributing any materials that promote hatred against people because of their sexual orientation."
The tribunal held that "preventing the distribution of such materials was a reasonable limit on Whatcott's right to freedom of religion and expression as guaranteed by section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms".
Whatcott appealed the decision to the Court of Queen's Bench and received the news on Tuesday that the court would not overturn the HRC's ruling.
Whatcott himself says he was fined for his pamphlets that used "verbatim" a text from a classified personal advertisement in a local homosexual publication that ran, "Man seeking boys.... age not so relevant".
Canadians concerned about what they see as the erosion of basic democratic freedoms are calling for a stop to the extra-judicial powers of the Human Rights Commissions in which the usual rules for due process of law do not apply.
In connection to a similar Human Rights Commission case currently levelled by the Canadian Islamic Congress against the popular conservative political author Mark Steyn, Ottawa Citizen columnist David Warren wrote this week that freedom of speech is "the most fundamental right," and that the Human Rights Tribunals represent a significant threat to democratic freedoms.
Freedom of speech, he wrote, is "the queen bee in the hive, as it were. Every other freedom depends on this freedom. Take it away, and we no longer have a free country".
"Like so much in civil society, we put up with it because the alternative is worse, and we'd rather cope with free speech, than with the free intimidation that results from its suppression."
Warren voiced the concerns of many in Canada who believe the Human Rights Commissions' powers and zeal for the far left ideological position makes them an ideal vehicle for the suppression of basic democratic freedoms.
Warren blasted the Human Rights Tribunals, calling them "kangaroo courts" and "star chambers" with "quasi-legal powers that should be offensive to the citizens of any free country... in which the defendant's right to due process is withdrawn."
"They reach judgements on the basis of no fixed law. Moreover, 'the process is the punishment' in these star chambers -- for simply by agreeing to hear a case, they tie up the defendant in bureaucracy and paperwork, and bleed him for the cost of lawyers, while the person who brings the complaint, however frivolous, stands to lose nothing."
Conservatives in Canada are supporting a petition, addressed to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, to abolish or at least curtail the powers of the Human Rights Commissions.

Enter now the mysterious "Q." The "Q" stands for "Questioning," and its new inclusion in the acronym of sexual immorality is quite telling, as it makes remarkably clear what we've been saying all along, that homosexual behavior is just that-behavior. Do an internet search on LBGTQ, and you'll see that the "Q" is now standard phraseology at our country's educational institutions, including: Brown, Arizona State, Colgate, George Mason, Toronto, Wisconsin, Chicago, Hawaii, Manhattan, North Carolina, and Georgetown, just to name a few. See also the Wikipedia definition, where other acronyms like LGBTQQ, LGBTQ2, LGBU, LGBTI, LGBTT, LGBTA, LGBTTTIQQA, FABGLITTER, etc., are fully described. Like Pinocchio's nose, the acronym grows longer with each added lie.
Despite having lost every marriage battle that they've fought in the United States, save one, the advocates of homosexual behavior are transitioning directly to their ultimate goal - normalization of their behavior. Clearly, the inclusion of the "Q" is an admission that those who self-identify as "gay" or "lesbian" weren't born that way. Science never has shown it, and never will. Thus, because science can't redeem their unredeemable behavior, the next best thing is for the advocates of homosexual behavior to try make the behavior itself worthy of redemption. If all of the G, L, B, T, and Q letters can all be placed into a cloak of legal protection, anything goes. Since you can't be born a "homosexual," if the "Q" accomplishes its mission, advocates of homosexual behavior no longer have to worry about proving to the world that they were "born that way." Rather, they've accomplished what they want-freedom to do what they want to do without fear of reprisal, social judgment, or denial of access to anything they want.
