"New Law Redefines Gender in California Schools

Friday, January 11, 2008 8:26 PM

By: Lowell Ponte

Last Oct. 12, California's Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law a controversial Democratic-authored measure, SB 777, that subtly redefines how sexuality and gender may be taught and dealt with in public schools.

This law had been held in abeyance until this month while conservatives were given 90 days to collect signatures to qualify a June ballot referendum that would let voters approve or overturn it.

On Thursday, the referendum deadline, activists acknowledged that they had fallen short, gathering only 350,000 of the 433,971 signatures required. "

Oddly enough - or not - this bill has received much more attention from outside the state then within it.
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...
