Fundies in California trying to end sex education

Post by Pint0 Xtreme »

Move To Stop 'Gay Sex' Talk In Calif. Schools

(Walnut Creek, California) A Bay Area Christian conservative has begun to gather names for a ballot initiative to limit sex education in California public schools.

The measure has received approval from the Secretary of State's office and Attorney General Bill Lockyer's staff has carefully worded the petition to include only a ban on sex ed in kindergarten through sixth grade and for daily parental permission slips for older students.

The man behind it, Tony Andrade, says fears "homosexuals are using high schools as a recruiting ground".

Andrade was behind the to recall of Gov. Gray Davis in 2003.

In his promotion for the new initiative he links classroom discussions of homosexuality and domestic partnership with bestiality, pedophilia and necrophilia.

The suggestion has angered the California Teachers Association.

"None of this is normally taught in schools," Association spokesperson Sandra Jackson told the Contra Costa Times.

Andrade tried to get a similar measure on last year's ballot. With the help of Traditional Values Coalition, Save California he gathered 100,000 signatures before a legal challenge derailed it.

If Andrade gets enough signatures to place the proposition on the ballot and if it is accepted by voters it would ban any sex from being presented in health classes, books and posters.

The only exception would be for individual students who request confidential counseling from a school psychologist or police officer.

What the fuck? Is there some sort of mass conspiracy of homosexuals now? And what the hell are they recruiting? Are they brainwashing kids to be gay?

WTF :wtf: :? You know, someone needs to explain to them the slippery slope, how it's stupid, and if they can't handle that, how they might as well just read the bible every minute of their lives and walk in front of cars (!) because their eyes never divert from their oh-so-precious book. [/sarcastic irony]
"The rest of the poem plays upon that pun. On the contrary, says Catullus, although my verses are soft (molliculi ac parum pudici in line 8, reversing the play on words), they can arouse even limp old men. Should Furius and Aurelius have any remaining doubts about Catullus' virility, he offers to fuck them anally and orally to prove otherwise." - Catullus 16, Wikipedia

Some homophobics are thought to have repressed homosexual tendancies... but with all the other shit he's linking homosexuality to, I'd prefer he not try expanding his sexual horizons.

I am getting sick and tired of mongrels like this likening homosexuality with incest (:?), beastiality (:x), necrophilia (:wtf:) and pedophilia (:evil:). Why don't they shut up? They already think the rapture will devour us all. Or is that not enough for them?

They believe they have the right to beat us over the head with it. They call it "witnessing", apperently God has commanded them to point out sin whenever they encounter it.

Thankfully, this is California. This will never work.

I'm surprised that the group is from the Bay Area.

My question to them is: How exactly do homosexuals "recruit" high schoolers? Do they set up a booth next to the Army guy, and display a giant, grotesque picture of a woman's vagina with the caption "Guys, do you really want to stick your penis into This?! Sign up, and become gay today!" under it?

Well, if they are from Walnut Creek, that is a pretty conservative area for the Bay Area, but its still not going to work. People are just too open minded here.

Hahaha. Thats classic. But anyhow, it is part of their bullshit about homosexuality being a consious choice that anybody can make. They don't know a damn thing about anything. And, of course, this will help them promote their precious abstinence pushes, too.

Fuck these people are stupid. I won't be suprised if some morons in the south see this and "think what a great idea...." God damn.
Actually, their thinking is based on the presumption that heterosexuals can be easily tempted toward homosexuality, and the only bulwark against mass migration to the other side of the fence is a social atmosphere of extreme hostility. That's why they rail against "normalizing" homosexuality and speaking frankly about it in public venues; they are terrified that if you take away the constant withering stream of hate toward homosexuality, their children will flock to it en masse.

It's interesting because only someone who is not entirely secure about his sexuality would subscribe to this mentality. Someone who's sure he could never be "tempted" to become a homosexual wouldn't be too worried about others "recruiting" people into Gay World. The idea only seems plausible if you believe that people are vulnerable to this temptation.

Exactly. I can't understand how these people keep pushing the idea that sexual attraction is so damn fluid. If it was THAT goddamn flexible, then there would BE no homosexuals. The very straight world many of us grew up in would be enough to "channel" these desires into the hetero way without problem if this idiot philosophy actually worked.
It's interesting because only someone who is not entirely secure about his sexuality would subscribe to this mentality.
Or possibly someone who is so brainswashed into the idea that it's a "choice" that they convince themselves that there has to be something that makes people turn that way. This way they justify the actions taken against any possible form of acceptance as being a morally good thing to prevent the evil influence of gay influence. :roll:
You have to realize that most Christian "moral values" behaviour is not really about "protecting" anyone; it's about their desire to send a continual stream of messages of condemnation towards people whose existence offends them. - Darth Wong alias Mike Wong
