SB 1437, one of three bills trageted for defeat by pro-family groups passed the Assembly a couple hours ago and is on the way back to the Assembly for almost certain approval and then will land on the Governors desk.
According to the Capitol Resource Institute, prohibits textbooks, teaching materials, instruction and “school sponsored” activities from “reflecting adversely” upon others based on actual or perceived gender and sexual orientation. and would result in removal of terms such as “mother and father” and “husband and wife” or any reference to traditional family because that would “reflect adversely” upon homosexuals.
This is the homosexual thought police telling everyone to condone and approve of their lifestyle. So much for tolerance.
This proposed law and two other bills have become a test of the Governor’ efforts to reach out to pro-family voters. At the CRP Convention a rally was held by about 150 people calling on the Governor to veto these bills. The governor had previously promised to veto the bill, but it was ammended before the vote today and rumors are flying he may sign it or another of the three bills.
The State CRP has hired coalitions people to reach out to churches on behalf of the party. Allowing or worse signing this and other bills would make that investment a waste of money.
