AB1931 will provide taxpayer funded grants to take children on unspecified field trips to teach them diversity and tolerance. Both bills took effect Jan. 1, 2001. One aspect that troubles pro-family activists, in particular, is the inclusion of 'sexual orientation' in the list of diversity that is to be promoted in public school curriculum statewide. California's Education Code 49091.10 provides parents with the right to be given a complete prospectus of everything a child s teachers will be using throughout the school year. This includes curricula, supplemental materials, required or recommended reading, speakers, etc.
Parents also have the right to remove their children from certain objectionable course materials.
This includes anything that deals with human sexuality, sexual orientation, etc. The coalition that produced the new form includes representatives from the Campaign for California Families, the United States Justice Foundation, the Pacific Justice Institute, the Pro-Family Law Center and the Life Legal Defense Foundation.
