Note:  the main title has to do with another news article, this one appears further down the page.  Excerpt:

-- After a lengthy partisan debate, the Assembly voted 47-31 to ban materials and activities in schools that are discriminatory toward gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender individuals.

Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez of Los Angeles, said the bill by Sen. Sheila Kuehl, D-Santa Monica, was needed to expand the anti-discriminatory protections now afforded minorities based on race, gender and religion.

''Anti-gay and LGBT school harassment occurs every day in our public schools,'' Nunez said on the floor. ''This says our schools are going to have a curriculum that is biased-free.''
