They actually backed down and it feels surreal to finally see this result after everything we pushed for. I am honestly still reeling from the news but I am so relieved that we managed to hold the line together even when it felt like nobody was listening. Keep those eyes …

These students have lost their voice as the direct result of Gov. Schwarzenegger\'s unbelievable decision! There are no similar protections for students with traditional or conservative lifestyles and beliefs, however. "SB 777 will result in reverse discrimination against students with religious and traditional family values," said Meredith Turney, legislative liaison for Capitol Resource Institute. "Mom and Dad" as well as "husband and wife" have been banned from California schools under a bill signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who with his signature also ordered public schools to allow boys to use girls restrooms and locker rooms, and vice versa, if they choose...Analysts have warned that schools across the nation will be impacted by the decision, since textbook publishers must cater to their largest purchaser, which often is California, and they will be unlikely to go to the expense of having a separate edition for other states. The bills signed by Schwarzenegger include SB777, which bans anything in public schools that could be interpreted as negative toward homosexuality, bisexuality and other alternative lifestyle choices..

I honestly did not think this would gain this much steam so fast because everyone keeps getting distracted by the news cycle but here we are. It is wild to see so many people actually realize what this means for our schools and textbooks even if it makes my head spin trying to track all the notifications.

This is just total overreach. Kids shouldnt be forced into this and parents need to have a say in what goes on in the classroom.

What happened to common sense?? Schools are for learning math and science not pushing social agendas on young kids.

Arnold really let us down on this one. How are we supposed to protect our kids innocence when the gov is actively working against us?

Totally unfair to parents who actually care about traditional values. Schools need to stay neutral instead of picking sides.
