"Assemblyman Bob Huff has introduced two bills that would overturn a controversial section of the Education Code and require parental notification when sexual orientation or gender identity issues are being discussed in public school classrooms.
SB 777 (Kuehl) was signed into law by Governor Schwarzenegger last year. It added a new definition to sexuality in the Education Code to include heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual and transgender-lifestyles. SB 777 also disallows school instruction to promote any bias against such newly articulated alternative lifestyle choices. Opponents of SB 777 believe that by expanding the definition of sexuality and increasing prohibitions against bias, a reverse-bias in favor of alternative lifestyles is actually created. AB 2085 would remove language inserted by SB 777 into the Education Code."
