LinkLess than six months after Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed a similar bill, legislation has been introduced in the California Senate that would strengthen existing protections and specifically prohibit discrimination based on a person's actual or perceived sexual orientation and gender identity in California schools.
Both pieces of legislation were put forward by Sen. Sheia Kuehl (D) (pictured). While the new bill promotes nondiscrimination in schools it does not specifically mandate the teaching of a gay-positive curriculum.
