Gender bias ban bill one step closer to California schools

A bill that would impose strict guidelines against alleged bias or elements reflecting adversely on homosexuals in California's school textbooks, teaching, or activities has moved out of the legislative Assembly's Judiciary Committee. But a spokesman for a pro-family watchdog group accuses SB 777's author of needing to deny actual language that is in the bill, and wrapping it in an offer of new disability benefits, to get its passage.The controversial bill has proposed to ban any textbooks, teaching, or activities in schools from "'reflecting adversely' upon homosexuals, transgenders, bisexuals and those with gender issues." But Capitol Resource Institute (CRI) executive director Karen England says State Senator Sheila Keuhl, who authored the legislation, declared to the Judiciary Committee that the bill no longer contains the vague language "reflects adversely."
