OT: Gay History in California Public Schools

[quote=walterwhite]”trash” is a bit strong. Maybe show intolerance for? What are the limitsvof tolerance for intolerance in a free society. Maybe that’s part ogbtje inherentbparadox of a progressive worldview.

Society is supposed to deal with societal problems.[/quote]

Yes, I do believe it’s a paradox of a progressive worldview.

Some conservatives argue that government doesn’t need to regulate because people would automatically show intolerance for undesirable behavior.

In my book, it’s perfectly acceptable to show intolerance towards those who are intolerant of gays, until they stop such undesirable behavior.

Good article about how the legal community has accepted gays.

For a long time, there were laws “aimed at the suppression or elimination of homosexuals.”

Times change and the laws change.

Gay-rights supporters have transformed the law and the legal profession, opening the doors of law firms, law schools and courts to people who were once casually and cruelly shut out because of their sexual orientation.

But it was a process that took a half-century to unfold. In 1961, a Harvard-trained astronomer, Frank Kameny, stood alone against the federal government. Fired from his federal job simply for being gay, he wanted to petition the Supreme Court. But at a time when all 50 states still criminalized sodomy, even the American Civil Liberties Union declared it had no interest in challenging laws “aimed at the suppression or elimination of homosexuals.” Mr. Kameny wrote his own appellate brief; without comment, the court turned him away.

Other than math and science, it’s difficult for me to visualize a content neutral curriculum.

True, so let’s essentially solve this issue with vouchers.

That won’t happen with Gov. Brown in office since he works for various public employee unions. In fact, I think the teachers union is behind this bill – nothing gets done in California without public employee unions’ consent.
