LGBT POV is reporting that the ConScums (rhymes with pond scum, right? Although, ConScum is much more gross) are rallying the troops to overturn the FAIR Education Act with a ballot vote in 2012. The Secretary of State has approved!
The bigot bunch just needs 504,000 valid signatures by mid-October 2011 to put this measure on the June 2012 ballot.
You fucking slept through the Prop 8 bulldozing!!!
Wake up, California!!! Let's fight this. It's censorship and discrimination. Gay figures helped build this nation and students need to be educated and informed!!
Going forward, we can no longer afford to have one piece of gay legislation overturned!!! We need to be the New York of the West Coast.
The Capitol Resource Institute received the OK today from the California Sec. of State to begin circulating signatures-gathering petitions to place a ballot initiative on the June 2012 ballot to overturn SB 48, the California FAIR Education Act. SB 48 is a natural extension of Harvey Milk Day, requiring public schools to stop discriminating against LGBT people by rendering the LGBT minority invisible in public education. The bill requires schools to start teaching about LGBT history and contributions starting Jan. 1, 2012. Inclusion in California textbooks has been deferred until 2015 because of the economy.
If CRI’s “coalition” gathers 504,000 valid signatures by mid-October and does qualify – the initiative would be placed on the June 2012 ballot. That’s the date for the Primary in California and CRI’s Republican base accounts for 30% of registered voters in California. Theoretically, that means the initiative would have to pass with heavy support from Independents and Democrats.
