LAUSD Becomes First California School District to Mandate Gay Curriculum

Teaching kids that queerbates are "normal" follows the perverse communist agenda that the state should raise children, not family.   Mom and Dad have no place in this new world order. 

The school district is not promoting the conversion of our kids from straight to gay. They are merely recognizing and shedding light on a group of people who have been overlooked in our schools

i dont understand it ...i just think its a bit to young to be talking about these type of things....its reassuring its ok to the children....by any means its your choice to be gay or homosexual...im a christian woman and grew up with family that has been gay..its a choice they make and live with..... it is for us not to judge....i think that putting it into schools is a bit extreme if we feel so strongly about our children learning about these certian situations.. why not make our own personal duty to teach our children there are different people out there but are to treat them all the same....and with love....thats something we should be bringing to the schools is how to love one another...i think the world would run alot smoother....i dont understand why is ok to bring this into schools but a child gets expelled for praying for there food....i think this world priorities are a bit backwards....but never the less its out of our hands....

I read your article dated September 14th, about this issue and was wondering why you would refer to those opposed as "religious bigots".  I didn't see where you refered to those in favor as "immorally zealous". As a "journalist" how can you write about an issue with such a great bias. I don't care about your opinion I just want to read about the  issues.  I guess I too could get a job at an airline and call myself a pilot.  I don't beleive in one particular religion and I am opposed, so what does that make me.  You mentioned Larry King as a case in point; but on the contrary as the judicial case so far has demonstrated bullying isn't always as clear cut.  Most of us assumed because the gay person is part of an affected group then immediately they are labeled the victim without investigating the events that lead to this unfortunate incident.  The "victim" in this case was clearly the agressor and their bullying created a situation wherein an immature teenager resorted to this level of violence to put an end to it. Had he shot himself instead some may have agreed that he was being bullied and nothing would change because of it.  Simone we are all bullied at one time or another even as adults, admit it.  I grew up being bullied and it wasn't because of my sexual preference or for any other reason other than some kid/person who thought he/she could and did.  Doesn't it make more sense to address bullying as a zero tolerance policy irrespective of sexual orientation or for whatever reason it is being done. Simone if you want to write about your narrowed-view opinions do it in a blog like the rest of us, dont pretend to be a journalist. You are far from understanding this idea, simply writing for a paper will never make you a journalist it has to do with the content and the way it is presented.  True journalist understand this.

Implementing a 'gay curriculum is not going to stop bullying for any reason. Parental guidance should be the focus. Parents need to take control of their households and kids - be the parent and teach their children. It is amazing how the fight for 'rights' is increasing for everything EXCEPT the inclusion of Prayer in  schools. MAYBE... the schools are being attacked because God has been taken out. Actually - I am positive that is the reason.

Gay curriculum will NOT be taught inCalifornia schools – I release the Blood of Jesus to stop it – in the name ofJesus.

Why is society so obsessed with promoting a behavior?  Homosexuality is a sexual behavior.  It is a behavior that cannot pro-create.  It is not genetic as is skin color or being born blind.  It is a choice, plain and simple.  They say many psychopaths are born that way, but yet we dont condone what they do.   Why are we being forced to accept this behavior??  Do we go out of our way to promote the contributions of murderers?  Thieves?  Pedophiles?  These are common behaviors as well.  Why does there have to be "Anti-gay bullying"?  Why cant it just be "Anti Bullying"?  Heterosexuals dont walk around demanding attention for what they do in their bedrooms.  I have many G and L friends and clients and I treat them the same as anybody else.  I dont have to go out of my way to do anything special for them just because of their behavior they choose to engage in the private life.  Our kids shouldnt have to be taught to judge people based on their choice of lifestyle.  Spike Lee once said, "I dont want to be recognized as a great African-American director.  I just want to be recognized as a great director."  Ohh and by the way, he was born that way.  

I remeber during the prop 8 debate the anti prop 8 stated that that this wouldn't be  something taught in schools. well now seems that it is. for the record I voted against prop 8 and am usually center to left on most issues. Souldn't this be something that parents teach at home respect for all.

Jesus, whatever happenned to separation of church and state?

It's really sad to see people use religion to enforce their own ideologies. All I know is that homosexuals and heterosexuals are both homo sapiens, in other words human.

Furthermore, LGBTs have contributed to society since the beginning of recorded history. Therefore, the school, as a place of learning, should present these facts and show how other societies (i.e. Greeks, Catholic Priests) have allowed for homosexuality while others have not allowed it.

Censoring students from knowledge is futile since when you go out into the real world you will be exposed to the truth.

People make a fuss about the people that died in Iraq being around 6500 but if you read from Chapter 19 of the book of Judges to the end, you'll see that the tribe of Benjamin was nearly wiped out because of the homosexuals they protected and that in a mere 3 days, about 65,000 people died.  Gays don't have rights and they will bring this country down.

So, tell me, why is it alright for our children to have no choice but to recite the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE in public schools which states "One nation, under God" but it's not okay to teach children that same sex unions are as old as time itself? Hippocrits. If parents weren't so terrified their children would catch "the gay" then it wouldn't be an issue. Considering more than half of your kids social skills come from interacting with teachers, classmates makes me think that it's necessary to educate them on REAL matters. If you don't like it, send your children to private school where they can be brainwashed into believing it is against your Christian god to be homosexual, regardless that it isn't a conscoius decision or choice. I however, do not believe that very few verses in the Bible condemn homosexuality as much as they condemn those who are judgemental. 

THATS GREAT! We have some of the worst schools in the state, maybe the country. We have some of the highest unemployment rates in the country and schools are stapled for cash. Hmmmm, how do we help our kids improve their education? I've got it! Let's invest in expanding their knowledge of the contributions of one of the most dogmatic and intolerant social groups of the past 30 years! Furthermore, let's use our old "go to" ridiculous defense that if you don't agree with us and our agenda, you must advocate our murder and committing suicide! Yeah! Either you are for us, or you are ignorant! COMPLETE RUBBISH! (The eternal resting place of most tax dollars & education funding) I would say, "God Bless America," but that would make me a biggot!

This is crazy. Gay history? On the surface, it appears to be about the historical legality or illegality. To deny such an existence is , in itself, illegal, as it promotes a lie. Orientation is only germaine if you are in love. What ever the historical event that was deemed newsworthy, would still happen irregardless of orientation. Sutter's Mill would have happened, anyway. Or was the 1849 Gold Rush, the direct result of someone, bending over, when gold was discovered? 

While the LAUSD is mandating gay curriculum in the classroom, can they also mandate teaching them to read, write, and add. When I am trying to hire them for a job (you know the thing a lot of people want these days), I don't care if they are gay, but I do care that they can't read or use a cash register. The kids coming out of the LAUSD are mostly morons.

James is right. The school district is not promoting the conversion of our kids from straight to gay. They are merely recognizing and shedding light on a group of people who have been overlooked in our schools and in society. Gay people have had to live as if they are perverted people, and that the mention of their group is considered taboo.

We wouldn't stop teaching our kids black history, or to overlook the racism that occurred in this country. So why then would we overlook gay history and culture?

Your sons or daughters will continue to be attracted to the sex they were always attracted to from birth. The only thing this will do is either accpet themselves with being gay, or accept those who are gay, while maintaining their heterosexuality.

Why is there such a need to promote GLBT contributions in the classroom?  Why not simply state that so-and-so invented or did this. Why place the emphasis on their homosexuality.  So now teachers have to say, "Now so-and-so, who was a gay man, had it really hard (no pun intended, children) in the 1950s because gays weren't widely liked."  I'm at a loss to understand this hyper-vigilant need to continue emphasizing and sensationalizing the gay experience, especially in elementary school.

As a Latter-day Saint, I would like to know why there is not more of an emphasis made to speak of the contributions of a band of outcast Christians who were forced to travel westward and were instrumental in the settling of the Utah Terriorty. They also contributed to the building of Nauvoo (what was once Commerce, IL).  So much work was done by the Saints in Illinois that Nauvoo became the second largest city in the state in the mid 1800s.  The Saints also made a major contribution in the building up of San Diego after the Mormon Batallion spent time in that area.  How come their contributions aren't being highlighted and bantied about in textbooks and public school classrooms?

The mere fact that I have to have this alternative lifestyle shoved down my kids' throats under the guise of historical/societal contributions makes me feel that I do not have the right to protect them from exposure to a life style that I do not agree nor condone.  I'm so done with the GLBT-ization of my kids' educational experience.
