The bill also requires students hear history lessons on "the contributions of people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender to the economic, political, and social development of California and the United States of America."It is serious enough that this bill completely eliminates the role of 'mom' and 'dad' from school text books, implying the lack of importance of either of these roles, but WorldNetDaily reports that this bill goes further. According to Karen England, executive director of Capitol Resource Institute, it actually applies to all school-sponsored events:
School-sponsored activities include everything from cheerleading and sports activities to the prom....Under SB 1437 school districts would likely be prohibited from having a 'prom king and queen' because that would show bias based on gender and sexual orientation.The current bill was sponsored by Senator Sheila Keuhl, a lesbian actress who played in the 1960's TV show, "The Many Lives of Dobie Gillis".
