California Christians not taking gay indoctrination of schools sitting down

Christians in California are beginning to awaken and respond to the dark implications of four pro-homosexual measures signed into law in October by the Golden State's governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

These laws, on which Gender Blog first reported last month, promote homosexual, bisexual and transsexual indoctrination of schoolchildren through prescribed textbooks and activities. Further, the laws prescribe "harassment training" for offenders who express a belief that there are only two genders, male and female, or who use such language as "mom" and "dad" to describe a typical family. The law effectively bans the use of traditional language such as "mom" and "dad" as discriminatory.

Advocates for Faith and Freedom has filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn what they not-so-subtly call "stupid laws"- laws that are aimed at wholesale social reconstruction in California schools. Several other Christian and pro-family groups have joined the suit, including the California Family Council, Northern California chapter of Alliance Defense Fund and Campaign for Children and Families,

Robert Tyler, general counsel for Advocates of Faith and Freedom, points out the obvious conundrums school officials will face if the laws take effect as scheduled on Jan. 11. 

"What will prevent a 250-pound linebacker from deciding he wants to share the locker room with the cheerleaders?" asked Tyler. "If implemented, this bill will have disastrous effects in our school system. This social experiment defies common sense."

The laws prohibit "instruction or activity that is perceived to promote a discriminatory bias against gender, including cross-dressing and sex-change operations as well as so-called sexual orientation." Offenders could face discipline, including lawsuits, from the California Department of Education.

Allan Carlson, global coordinator of the World Congress of Families, supports the action, calling the legislation "a blatant attack on the natural family orchestrated by the alternative-lifestyles lobby." He points out that the upshot which supporters of the laws seek is a brave new gender-free world.
"It will prohibit anything that suggests that the natural family-a man and a woman, married, with children-is typical," Carlson said. "Thus, under this latest advance toward a Brave New World of polymorphous perversion, California textbooks will no longer be able to use words like ‘mother and father' and ‘husband and wife,' because they suggest that heterosexuality is the norm-even though that is manifestly the case, even in California."

The suit names Schwarzenegger, state Attorney General Edmund Brown Jr., Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell and others as defendants.

Pray for believers in California and their efforts at opposing this wicked agenda. God's Word stipulates that his people must obey His commands when they conflict with the laws of man. Pray they will stand steadfast while exhibiting the aroma of life commensurate with the Gospel.

Social engineers may tell us that gender and sexuality are mere social constructs, but God has objectively defined these fundamental human attributes for the good of His people and the glory of His name.
