linkState Sen. Sheila James Kuehl, a Democrat from Santa Monica, who many years ago played "Zelda" in the television series, "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis," has said she is trying to prevent discrimination, but when Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed a similar bill introduced by Kuehl in 2006, the governor said it offered "vague protection when current law already provides clear protection against discrimination in our schools based on sexual orientation."

The Campaign for Children and Families (CCF) said it hopes Schwarzenegger will be "consistent" and veto this new bill.
"[The bill] means good-bye to textbooks that say you're either a boy or a girl, that marriage is only for a man and a woman, and that the natural family is a father, a mother and their children," CCF President Randy Thomasson said in a press release.
Thomasson told Cybercast News Service that the measure "is an attack upon parent's hearts and children's minds."
