North OC Conservative Coalition's Call to Action

Please take a look at these important California bills that are being introduced into our legislature today.  We need to be aware because they affect our children, our future.  While we are worried about jobs and high gas prices, our Democrat legislature is working hard to change our society.

Senate Bill (SB) 48 was authored by Senator Mark Leno (D-San Francisco), an openly homosexual legislator who has authored and sponsored many bills specific to the advancement of homosexuality in education, employment, and family codes.

SB 48’s stated purpose is to mandate that California’s social science curriculum include the contributions of homosexuals to contemporary society, including bisexuals and transsexuals.  However, the responsibility to identify and select contributors of significance to our contemporary society should not rest in the hands of California’s Legislature.  SB 48 mandates the inclusion of the roles of “lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans.”

No one should deny – based on sexual orientation – the mention of a person’s significant contributions to society.  However, never before in social science textbooks has sexual orientation, of any kind, been a mandated factor by which to select contributors, nor has law mandated the mention of a contributor’s sexual orientation.

Senate Bill 48, if passed, would place decisions regarding age-appropriateness of content and issues of academic accuracy outside the awareness of parents, who are primarily responsible for the welfare of their children.

The underlying impact of SB 48’s passage is the advancement of a pro-homosexual worldview in the public classroom, and the marginalization of all worldviews that conflict with such a view.  In addition, this bill promotes one’s sexual identity over and above one’s societal contributions.

Following are other current legislative bills that:

1. Promote the advancement of homosexuality as a special, legally protected class
2. Threaten freedom of speech and religion
3. Promote public schools as the primary source of child-rearing

Advancement of Homosexuality as a Special Class –

AB 9 (Ammiano, D-San Francisco) Education: Bullying – expresses the intent of the Legislature to “enact legislation to protect pupils from acts of bullying by requiring school personnel to report known or suspected instances of bullying to law enforcement entities.” 

AB 433 (B. Lowenthal, D-Long Beach) Transgender Birth Certificates – Under current law, whenever a person born in this state has undergone surgical treatment for the purpose of altering his or her sexual characteristics to those of the opposite sex, a new birth certificate may be prepared reflecting the change of gender and any change of name.  A petition for the issuance of a new birth certificate must be filed in the superior court of the county in which the petitioner resides and accompanied by a physician’s affidavit.  AB 443 would consider the affidavit irrefutable evidence and no longer allow the filing of challenges, and would allow the petition to be filed in any county.

AB 620 (Block, D-San Diego) GLBT Rights: Postsecondary Education – would greatly expand the special rights of homosexual students and faculty at public colleges and universities, and implement anti-harassment and awareness training for staffs.

AB 673 (Perez, D-Los Angeles) Office of Multicultural Health:  LGBT Communities – The Office of Multicultural Health is tasked with coordinating various activities and planning to close gaps in health and access to care among California’s diverse racial and ethnic communities.  AB 673 would expand the oversight of the office to include lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities as well.

SB 182 (Corbett, D-San Leandro) Judiciary Demographic Data – would attempt to increase the number of homosexual judges by adding sexual orientation and gender identity to the demographic data collected by the governor’s office for judicial applicants. 

SB 651 (Leno, D-San Francisco) Eliminates Differences: Marriage and Domestic Partnerships – would “declare the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would eliminate statutory differences between marriage and domestic partnerships.”

SB 747 (Kehoe, D-San Diego) LGBT Sensitivity Training for Health Care Providers – would require that health-care personnel complete a continuing-education course in “cultural competency, sensitivity, and best practices for providing adequate care to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons.” 

Threatening Freedom of Speech and Religion

AB 123 (Mendoza, D-Norwalk) School Safety: Disruption Threatening Pupils – would limit outside disruptions to students arriving, on school grounds, or leaving schools by controlling “disruptive” or threatening access to schools, school grounds, or nearby streets, sidewalks, or public ways.  AB 123 amends an older law and there is some cause for concern as the new bill deletes a section of law that provides protection for freedom of speech and assembly.

SB 117 (Kehoe, D-San Diego) Public Contracts: Prohibiting “Discrimination” Based on Gender or Sexual Orientation – would prohibit state agencies from contracting for $100,000 or more with contractors who discriminate in providing benefits to employees’ spouses or domestic partners based on gender or sexual orientation.

Promote Public Schools as the Primary Source for Child-rearing

AB 499 (Atkins, D-San Diego) Minors: Medical Care: Consent – Current laws allows children as young as 12 to consent to medical care without parental knowledge or permission in certain instances; this laws would expand that consent to medical care related to the prevention of a sexually transmitted disease.

SB 13 (Liu, D-Glendale) Pupils: Teen Dating Violence Prevention – would authorize a school district to provide teen dating violence-prevention education as part of the sexual health and health education program it provides to grades 7 to 12.
