1. SB. 48 is the law. It will mandate that California’s public education system include the societal contributions of homosexuals, bisexual, and transgender person into the state’s social science curriculum, yet the content cannot include information that may reflect negatively on that population’s behaviors.

2. From a Los Angeles Times editorial: It is not the role or responsibility of legislators to make decisions on educational curriculum. Representatives are not elected by the people in order to force their own politicized content into public education. SB 48 would diminish the intellectual integrity or our curriculum. Decisions on content for textbooks and instructional materials should remain in the hands of qualified educators.

3. Placing SB 48 into law would weaken parents’ rights. The curriculum of SB 48 would conflict with the worldviews of millions of California’s parents, yet there is no legal recourse for parents to keep their own children from this content. Compelling children to participate in curriculum that contradicts a family’s cultural or religious perspectives can only result in heightened tensions between California’s educational system & the citizens it claims to serve.

4. SB 48 will teach children as young as five to only accept but also endorse transgenderism, bisexuality, and homosexuality through our social science curriculum history, history books and instructional materials. The Media and others call SB 48 the “Gay History Bill,” however, SB 48 goes even further. The bill casts a wide-reaching net that includes all social sciences like economics, government, and cultural and social anthropology.

5. Furthermore, SB 48 ties the hands of teachers and administrators at the local level and often contradicts what students are taught at home. It also requires teachers and administrators to enter into the divisive debate over sexual orientation and morality and to portray only one side of that debate. Essentially teachers and administrators are being asked not to tolerate but to advocate.

Churches and pastors are essential to qualifying this referendum. If we had 700 churches gather 1,000 signatures, the referendum would more than qualify for the ballot and we could overturn SB 48. According to the Pacific Justice Institute attorney Kevin Snyder, churches have a legal right, among other things to hold signature-gathering drives for the referendum.

[An ounce of prevention now is worth a pound of cure.]

As Archbishop Jose Gomez of Los Angeles so eloquently stated, “The family is God’s first beautiful gift to us. Because each one of us came into this world as the fruit of mother and a father’s love… [SB 48] is another example of the government interfering with parents’ rights to be their primary educators.”
